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.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
