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?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
