ANybody know about the pocket - close to $40 is too much

hey ben, before u ask AGAIN :lol: i have had a look at a few different pockets and all nissan ones i have seen seem to bolt on in the same places. best bet would be go to a wrecker a get one from a recent as possible pulsar.

Thanks Siks - Im going to pull it apart today and put the new deck in then add a pocket to suit.

Cheers! :)

you have to put the pocket in at the same time as you put the cd player in, because you have to pull everything apart again if you want to put a pocket in later (like me!) :angry:

If interested, I wrote up a guide VERY similar to this one, but possibly with more pics and a bit more detail. (and removing wiring)

The pics will be horribly slow because it's got a slow connection.

Link works now :)

Funny thing is my fascia fits whenthe side metal backets are on...however when I go to install it the skyline instrument surround won't go down over it (So I guess my unit must be sitting further out in relation to the bracket causing this fouling. Maybe I'll see if there is another spot I can screw it into. Only other option is to chisel out the fascia but in my case so it sits over the top of the black skyline insrument surround...

Good guide there!

Ah, then use this guy's guide, and simply drill some new holes in the bracket a bit further BACK, so the HU facia can sit behind the instrument surround. Should look very tidy if you do that =-]

I was going to do this before I read this guys article, but I needed to bring it back about 2mm... you can't really drill a hole 2mm back, so my only option was to widen the holes horizontally, much like the CD-ROM screw-holes in a PC case for adjusting the depth of the CDROM. Trimming a little of the facia was heaps quicker.

I just went to Nissan and got a brand newie pulsar pocket - fits nicely - other nissan ones may have fit but couldndnt be bothered checking.

$33 - a lot for a bit of plastic but looks good now.

Though while Im at it I've decided to peel all the rubber/silicone coating off the dash surround and paint it. I'm going to use Matt Black paint ($3 at pig W). The paint I have gives a textured type feel. I did the drivers side power window surround about 6 months ago - looks good and has held up to the test of time so far.

I peeled all the material off - used a bit of thinner - the occasioinal rough up with the file to disturb it and fingers to get it all off.

The vents dont seem to come out easy - there is one sort of rivet type screw to stop you taking these out - Might tape them up before the spray

Thanks guys!

PS Is it an easy fix while I have everything off to stop the air con click clicking when you change temp and at random times?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
