I must say that they both look very nice - but honestly; is there a point to it? Surely you're not 1) going to be staring at the glove box when you're on the track/strip and 2) not going to get the passenger to monitor vitals for you right :D

Il be running about 4 defi bf series in the glove box & split torque converter. i just want something sleek and hidden away. Not really into having 4 gauges across my dash.

shouldnt have to much of a problem with warning indication levels.

Couple of suggestions :

1) counter sink the display and angle the guages towards you.

2) if they are the 60mm size guages, then the outside of a coke can is a good mold for guage cups if your gonna use fibreglass (used it in my dash to mount a boost guage into the plastic)

3) fabricate a locking mechanism for use on the track so it doesnt bounce around when its open

For the foam suggestion, i was thinking of velcroing the rear to the inside of the glovebox that way i can easily take it out without having to destroy the glovebox.

If i had a spare glovebox i would definatly fiberglass it however seems alot easier to use foam at this point

you can use foam as a base for a fibreglass insert cut to size with about 6mm of clearance total (3mm on each edge) then remove and cover in duct tape, then fibreglass over it, then you could mold in the guage cups etc how you need to angle the guages as required.

that first picture is the HKS one. I have that in my glove box and it is pretty handy. I have stored my HKS EVC, ETC, EDA and Defi control unit plus two 60mm gauges. It keeps things nice and tidy instead of velcro'ing or taping stuff to the dash and whats not. It is a bit annoying if you need to change settings though but i keep mine locked anyway so i cant change it while driving.

    • 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.
    • 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
