Hey

Just bought a GFB dual stage BC and it needs [obviously] a rocket switch installed. Just wondering where everyone else is putting their switches

I've looked around the web and can't find a din panel available in Aus with switch mounting holes, plenty with 3 gauges but no allowance for switches. A couple are avaiable in the states.

Bit reluctant to drill holes in the dash etc so wondering what others have done.

I thought about putting a plate where the ashtray goes but couldn't find something reasonably ready made to do the job and didn't want to bodgey something up.

Ideas?

Thx

What I did with mine is looked for another lower binnacle section and ashtray from a wreck/half cut and drilled the holes into these, while keeping my original one in the shed. This way I can return it to normal with no holes whenever I wish.

I placed switches in the lower binnacle, and my shift lamp controller in the ashtray.

I've mounted 5 very small rocker switches in the bottom of the useless drink holder for various things... no one knows they are there until I tell them...

But it wasn't the easiest thing to do, and then you're left with 5 holes if you decide to take them out...

Drill holes in your head lining so they are on the roof like a real fighter jet

thats a great idea what about the sun visor? haha

when i did mine a got carbon ones so they wernt bright red and dont stick out like bog balls, i replaced my ash try and placed 3 carbon missile switches in a row, what i did got and old centre console out of a wreck that was the same colour and hacked out the shape of the ash tray face and stuck in place :laugh:

if you want them hidden, i have the CD slot for under head unit that i modified to have the switches sitting a lil bit back so noone can notice them. when one of the switches is on, a lil neon lights up behind them.

switches mounted on a perspex insert i made to fit in the holder. will take pics 2moz

I installed two black rocket switches where the useless coin holders were and a push botton switch where the antenna switch used to be to the left of the steering wheel. All look very neat and barely stand out :(

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
