hi

i have a series 2 r33 and have a problem.

i have recently put a dvd player into my car. it is just a single din slot head unit and i have a seperate 7" screen hooked up to it taking up 2 din slots. in order to fit it in i had to remove my climate control unit. so now i have to work out another place to mount my climate control unit.

im not sure if i should relocate my screen to another spot or extend the wires and have the climate control unit somewhere else. it has been bugging me when it rains and my windows fog up and i cant see anything.

any ideas would be great

thnx

well in my 33 it has the climate control on top and dvd player on the one below but below that is a pocket for an extra din....you shud leave the climate control in its place and set the dvd player on the bottom and the screen in the middle and climate control on top

This is an up coming problem for me... easiest solution is to dump it in the center console or glovebox with some wire extention work.

I've seen an extra din created at the bottom which seemed to work (ignore ugly mfd install at top lol)

Otherwise, you could attempt to condense the control panel so it fits in the ash tray spot, but this wouldn't be for the faint hearted.

A car pc setup with a HVAC controller could do the trick also if you have time up you sleves.

Thanks for your ideas guys.

My head unit takes up 1 din slot and my screen takes up 2 din spots so there is no additional room for my control unit.

I put mine in my glove box, the loom was long enough and it wasn’t a huge ordeal. It really isn’t that much effort to lean over an press a button on the unit sitting in the glove box, I had it mounted as close to the right as I could, no worse then rooting around for change at the tolls.

No wise ass remarks about the head unit, it came in the car :thumbsup:

Nah sorry, don’t have any and I don’t own that car anymore. It was double sided taped to the lid more or less. So when it was open, the unit sat the right way and you were able to see the screen, much like where the fcon is sitting in the photo I found below, however mine was to the right so it was closer.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
