Update : FINALLY found a R34 coupe ;) but will not be ready for a couple or months due to lack of funds :P

I recently finished a batch of "corner" gauge pods for the R33 (See thread SAU THREAD). Check out the thread and my Trader Rating for comments.

I have also finished the design for the S13 Silvia/180SX/Onevia/Sileighty. Now it is time to turn to the R32 & R34 Skylines. I need some interest from R32/R34 drivers people who are willing to purchase these pods. These gauge pods will be similar to the R33 & S13 design (pics available on my webspace HERE)

I only need approx 8 people interested in each pod type to make fabrication of a small batch viable.

Final product will be available through www.JustSR.com which will include undercoat and painting of the pod in matt black.

Group Buy / Interest Expressons will stop when I get 8 people for each pod type, or end of Nov.

The pod designs for the R32 & R34 have been completed. See pics below. Please reply, email or PM me for interest.

Each pod will accept up to a max of 60mm gauge diameter and 40mm depth.

i'll take a 32 one also

what size gauges does it take? i need a 60mm one

thanks

As stated in my 2nd post above, the pods will fit a gauge up to 60mm. I'll note you and nuffsaid down for one each.

So far, I have 4 people interested in the R32 pod and 2 for the R34 pod. Keep the PM's/posts coming!

I just found out that the 4 door versions are slightly different to the 2 door versions, and the pod I have made for the R32 is for 2 door one and the pod for the R34 is for a 4 door.

So I now want to source a R34 2 door to loan for a weekend to design a pod for that model. If you are in Perth and interested in getting a free gauge pod for you R34 2 door, please contact me ASAP.

have u guys designed one for the 34 coupe yet?

id so give u my car but im in melb :cheers:

Not as yet. I have a R34 sedan pod, but unfortunately I'm finding in hard to get an R34 coupe to loan to design a pod for it. I usually borrow cars from Autoworx (here in Perth) but they won't have an R34 coupes for a month or more.

Has ANYONE in Perth got an R34 coupe that I could use for a weekend?? It will be securely stored and will not be driven.

PM Wogboy, his in Perth and has an R34 Coupe. I'm pretty sure he'll be interested.

Mistake there. Wogboy is located in Tassie! Anyone else know someone with an R34 coupe in Perth?

To date, I still am at a loss that I can't find someone with a R34 coupe in Perth. So instead I've been making gauge pod prototypes for the S14, S15, Stagea to 'pass the time'.

Anyone who offers to lend me their R34 coupe will receive a free gauge pod or $80 cash for their generosity.

Single pods for all cars (including R32 coupe) are $79 + postage ($5-$7). The R32 coupe pod and a few other designs are being sent off to the fabricators next week are are expected to be available around end of January.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
