The size of the double din.

G'day guys.

Just a question about the amount of space available in the double din area on an r33 dash. I think that roughly a din is about 7" x 6" x 2" in size so would that make the amount of space available in the double section 7" x 6" x 2"? Or is there extra space at the back or around the sides?

In other words does anyone know exactly/roughly how much space is available in the double din section below the A/C controls?

Cheers!

surreal,

you are probably right mate. I was just using the word din to explain it... as there is no normal standard for depth.

But, I am still interested to know if anyone does know roughly/exact how much depth there is to the din slots in an r33... like how far back does it actually go and how much can i fit in there?

Any ideas?

Its a little hard to explain. Its a bit of custom electronics work that would need to be mounted inside say a stainless steel case or something of the like. I am trying to gauage how much room roughly I would have to play with and whether it would all fit.

Is that ~40mm extra on top of say 6 inches or so for a head deck? Just trying to make sure.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
