Hi guys, pardon me for being a newbie. Just bought a R33 series 2, comes with a standard headunit from Jap. I am thinking of putting a single din gauge cluster at the location of the A/C unit and have the A/C unit at the middle and lastly locate a new head unit at the very bottom. is that possible? anyone done that before?

any input would be useful. cheers

possible, but not really easy. the dash sorta curves at the top the the ac goes, and ud have 2 chop it... other than the cosmetic work, yes u cud

How about leaving the A/C unit as it is and have the gauge cluster in the middle (Like the GTR) and head unit at the bottom. Do i need to relocate the sterro bracket for that?

nope. will fit straight in. use 2 5/8 guages ,a bit of steel plate bent to suit the area and a bit of angle cut pvc pipe and you have it.

thanks Roger, however how do i get the head unit clamp on the bottom section? would it be just sitting there without any part secured to the dash?

If you where to purchase a R33 GTR A/C control unit, it will fit in the middle as it does not have the corner missing like the Gts-t's.

You can even buy the GTR three gauge cluster and have it modified with your gauges of choice, inserted. This would also maintain the OEM look.

Don't think it is really that hard.

The Factory head unit has a plate on either side that can also screw into you new head unit.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
