Is it an AVC-R? It seems to me that it a few mm too big to fit in there. I've got mine where the ashtray was but obviously that's not out of sight.

My PFC hand controller just floats around and ends up under the passenger seat a lot. Maybe you could do that. The cord is long. Maybe have some mount that it easily slips out of then you can slip it under the seat or into the glove box whenever you need to.

you can do it, i've seen it done a few times and planned to do it myself, abo bob is right, its a little to big to fit in so you have to cut a hole in the top of the din pocket and slide the avcr down into it. I made it work but never got around to fitting it. I've left it in my glovebox (also to hide it). Too much of a hassle cause i have double din headunit and can't be bothered buying a new one.

Yeah i've done it (but the sin din pocket with Lid is from a X-trial, becoz r33's dun come with em standard)

With lid closed

With lid open to adjust boost settings and check max boost reached :D

1. The Avc-r will fit BUT its too tall for the pocket so you gotta make a hole in the pocket to have a bit of the avc-r sticking out, BUT as you can see once its all in it fits perfectly you don't miss out any of the screen and it doesn't hit the air-con or cd player.

2. So start CUTTING! hahaha

Good Luck!

now im spewn, i bought an orig r34 pocket & the lid only goes 3qtrs down. i hope it wont be too hard to fit.

i do like the sunvisor idea.

Gtshortie - thanks for the pics

cheers

why dont u try putting it in the pocket under the headlight adjustment......u no wat im talkin about yeh?>??

cant explain it very well but its like right next to the steering wheel on the right.

according to the engineer when i had my car certified, technically the AVCR is legal, as all it does it slightly alter the amount of boost you get. The same effect can be given (albiet to a lesser extent) by driving in Blue Mountains one day, and Sydney the next (elevation / air temp) apparently.

well i got a canary for it when i got pulled over. They said that you are unable to have any adjustment to the emissions control of the car. and a boost control does that. "apparently".

any excuse to stop imports from allowing there full potential. in victoria.

Sorry guys i forgot to say that my lid only opened 3/4 as well, BUT someone accidently dropped something from the windscreen and it broke the lid off so now i've got velcor holding the lid on.

its good to see the boost peak, to make sure there's no spiking.

also once its tuned ill have 3 settings, low-mid-hi.

i know what u mean as i never change it now, but once its tuned it will probly be changed a few times. at the set of lights next to my mate in his wrx or when i take it down the qtr mile etc.........

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.

      This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.

      Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
