Hi all,

On Sunday I managed to mount my HKS EVCIII in the "coin" pocket of my R34 GTT. The pocket I am refering to is the one on the right hand side on the lower section of the dash on the drivers side.

It did take a lot of cutting of plastic, but the pocket is still totally usable and closes and opens in the same fashion as before. My aim here was to add the EVC steathly to prevent prying eyes. Both my DINs are full so this is the only other place I could fit it without making big holes in the dash etc.

At the same time I mounted a dual cigar lighter under the dash (mounts just clear of the steering rack etc). This is for GPS, phone etc cables so I dont have cables running all over the car.

You can see it in the top left on the first picture.

All I used was a dremel tool, cable ties, some foam for spacing (it needs to mount on a slight angle in the pocket), and the general screw drivers etc to take the panel out (one screw on the left of the steering column, and 2 on the bonnet release). The rest is self explanitory when you take out the panel.

Let me know your thoughts people. :thumbsup:

Not a Skyline but still in the family. S14 with Greddy Profec B in the ashtray. Very stealth. Controlling the boost in the RB20DET so part Skyline. And the pics make it look dirtier than it really is.

That looks great, very stealthy. And much healthier than smoking as well!!

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
