Ken, I've seen the 33 ones and thought they looked pretty good. they sit in the middle angles towards the driver. where do the R32 ones sit?

The R32 ones sit on top of the instrument bezel and curves over the lh side next to the wiper switch.

Our Targa Prepped R32GTR has one on but it's in Tassy atm so no pics sorry.

These ones are made from injection moulded plastic with a stippled finish on them and all that is required is 2 or 4 small screw holes in the dash. As the R33 ones sit below the w/screen line, they cant get defected for vision impairment.

They even come with some double sided tape but don't know how strong that would be.

cheers

We have one here for an R33 GTS-T and they sit on the middle of the dash.

$200 and it's brand new.

BTW, they do them for A31's as well.

Cheers

I'd love that.

Dono if it's worth $200 for it though, why is car stuff so ridiculously expensive? I might have to get contacts in japan to source it myself and see how much it costs.

all about the same price, $200 which isn't bad considering it holds 3x 60mm gauges and most pillar pods hold 2 and are around $150-$180 for good ones.

Cheers

Ken

can you get some that hold x2 or can one be cut / removed ?

On an R33 since you wont be cutting holes, You would have to route the cables along the base of the windscreen somehow with some black conduit or something.

Would love to see one fitted, I'll be happy to get rid of my pillar guage. (single 60mm pod, $60 from Rocket Industries)

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
