dash tray insert

[Guest Boxhead]

i thought i would help all you guys out for ppl who get a 2 din stereo in the car, want to pull it out and put in a 1 din stereo...

the way to go for a dash insert such as the one illustrated in teh picture, is to go to your local nissan service center, and ask for the tray insert from a z32 300zx... they are the same and fit nicely.. for the r32 anyway, im asuming the r33 also has same set up...

[Guest Boxhead]

well if my info just helped 1 person, it made it worth it !

I'm sure it's helped more than one person Boxcar.

You were right about it being a good fit - that looks excellent.

Though, around the head unit itself looks a little messy cause there's gaps..

but still good

haha, thats what happens when you buy ****ty kenwood

[Guest Boxhead]

thats because, there is a thing that goes aruond the headunit, liek plastic, but it doesnt fit.. it makes it look sweet.. but coz of the dash plastic crap, wont clip on properly... hey it plays music so im happy, and the insert holds my wallet nicely

[Guest EVL-R33]

i just hope it fits the r33 aswell :confused:

completely off topic but sumfin i noticed in the pic...

Why is there a foot rest, when there's no clutch on an automatic? I thought only manuals had a foot rest?

[Guest Boxhead]

well then were would i put my left foot???

hahaha anyway its coming into its own right now, is perfect angle etc for my cast.

Box,

You have the same stereo as me! heh.. I have the same trouble with the thing that goes around it.. only the top of it clips on, and it occasiaonlly falls off.. but doesnt phase me that much.

hey.. anotehr thing.. whats the point of that cirle part on the LED screen on the right where it displays what station preset your listening to.. is that all it does? or does it move with the music or something?

Seems pointless to me

[Guest mooks66]

hey thats pretty good!

puttin a tv in my skyline and was wondering what i would get to fill the bottom din.. fantabulous

can i just ask how? how much did they charge you? for the insert.

[dAVE]

i think nissan charged $30.. but its a dodgy nissan. The wouldnt look up skyline part numbers, not even the GTR.. so it was just a guessing game.

[Guest ReaLiTy]

You can buy one of those inserts from toyota that are exactly the the same for $9.50, ofcourse I found this out after i bought mine!!

[SKY33]

Im using a new nissan pulsar pocket for my R33 fits perfectly got it for $20

[Guest BlackBeastR33]

Hey guys,

My R33 arrived from Japan with a single DIN unit sitting loosely in the dbl DIN space... wired up but not secured to anything.

So I've ordered and received the left & right radio brackets and dash tray, but now I've no idea where to start to install them!!!

How do I remove the trim so I can get inside that space and start screwing in the brackets and screw them to the single DIN unit... what screws on the dash do I need to undo??? Which bits do I need to pull out???

We really need a tech docs section I reckon!!!

Thanks *heaps* guys,

Cheers,

Mark

Blackbeastr33: I just pulled my whole surround off, you need to pull the surround around your gear knob (that plastic shit) and undo the screws underneath it. then the rest of the dash is clip so just pull on it and it will come off by itself You will need to undo heaps of switch wires that are connected to the whole dash shroud.
