golvebox installs (if done properly) can look very neat

my car came over with a few guages and controllers in the glovebox but mounted on some awful carbon fibre which had been cut out with garden shears by the look of it...

id recommend the DIN or ashtray setup, thats how alot of cars over here have done it. but if you want to hide your expensive electrical gear from thieves etc then try a glovebox job!

mine is below the stereo.. I removed the tray below my stereo and made up plastic panel to mount it on. Works a treat, but maybe slightly hard to monitor if you're doing drags and you're after an accurate measurement of RPM and THR in face view.

bit like Grims except looks a bit neater IMHO :P

Pred, my stereo has a silver border for the face plate that nicely covers up the little gap you can see. But your right that it's hard to see if try to read corrections or revs. But I was after a 'stealth' install.

Enrico, the flip cover is part of the factory compartment that came with the car...I just cut it to mount the safc inside it so the front flap can close up and cover it.

How about buy a stand? When driving put the S-AFC just behind the steering wheel or on the middle of the dash(just above the air outlet)

When not driving hide it in the glove box. Just same theory as some detachable face head unit.

However, is it legal to put there?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
