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

Ken

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)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      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.
