All the talk of interiors being dated is amusing as it is all very easily rectified. These cars generally are for modifiers and things such as new seats, whether they be Recaros or Brides are relatively inexpensive.

Most people change their steering wheels, gear knobs and add new electronic monitoring equipment, new stereos and generally make the driving the car as enjoyable as possible. So the fact that people are saying the interior is dated is unimportant, in the end it's all pretty bad because it is all pretty much plastic anyway.

So the only difference is whether you buy plastic from the early 90s or the early 2000s.

The whole dash/carpet/seats/everything inside the 34 is nicer than the 33, which is 100 times better than the 32.

Your R32 with a dildo gearknob, 15 colourful gauges, shiney plastic pedals, interior neons, and fag racing steeringwheel still has a crap dash.

That is the whole point i am making everything in the f**kin thing can be changed, but the fact remains, its still a cheap plastic interior.

Dildo gear knobs are not required neither is the other shit but if you dont like the standard gearknob or pedals they can be easily changed with items from lovely companies like Nardi.

The interior of the car is the part where you spend most of your time so you may aswell make it suit you.

That doesn't even make sense, it's more outdated because it's more common wtf?

The original post asked for information about YOUR car not what looks better or comments on cars you haven't owned, so many dumb kunce on here.

of course it makes sense something you see more often you get bored of a bit like your misses , R33s are uggs :D

Irrelevant, still funny though.

:ermm:

Interior? I'm too busy watching the road.

I was comparing performance stock R33 for stock R32...

Some people like a decent interior mate, that's why they make luxury cars...

Mate, doesn't it come down to the drive at the end of the day, or what you want out of it?

My silvia has f**k all dash, its got a few gauges.. But its still fun as f**k to drive. It might not have the interior gadgetry from hell or 5 buttons to turn the engine on but it still has aircon and other basic human necessities inside it.

Too busy watching road ftw.

Lol this thread has gone to shit.

Why don't people just list the things they like about their car and the things they don't. Not the things they don't like about other cars, thats your own opinion, the guy can decide for himself what he likes about looks.

Like i think the 32 dash looks far better than the 33 dash. Incredibly irrelevant for me as far as choosing a car goes. But thats me, other people clearly think differently

I agree who cares about interiors ! Lets try again

I like the r32 because of the sleek low look of it ! :ermm:

r33 its buffed muscle look (fatness) !

r34 looks like a sleek wedge going quick even when its standing still !

The 32 seems to be lacking in decent bodykits...or at least that is my perception.

your not wrong thats because the R32s styling means that only some bodykits will suit it which is pretty much the same with R34s. you have to pick the right bodykit for these 2 or you will ruin the styling of the car. why do BN or similar Drift kits look good on R32s and R34s?, its because the kit is sharply styled with pointy ends and is a lot more straight than curves think NISMO Z-TUNE with its front fenders or any skyline drift cars. making a boxy bodykit to match the car's bodylines is a lot difficult than most think. R33 kits are easier to find because their rounded shape makes it easier for bodykit companies to make up one that matches the bodylines of the R33 where as for the R32 and R34, their boxy shape means that making a kit to match is a lot of trial and error that very few companies can get right. even the R32 GTR with a Veilside EVO 3 Widebodykit we have for sale looks weird because the lower half of the body is widened but the top half is left untouched so the proportion is uneven. curved cars are easier to work with thats what ive noticed

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
