where can i get gauges to fit in a slot where a head unit normally sits as i have an empty spot after installing my new stereo, or can ya get like a plastic holder tray thingy to just put small pieces of paper, a little mobile phone and other miscellaneous items as a small storage type thing, its just i dont want a gaping hole in my centre console :rolleyes: and if you can get this stuff, where and how much ?

have u ever seen the inside of a GTR before? u do realise that u can buy the 3 guage cluster that sits in there... probably expensive unless u can find one second hand at a decent rate. im sure if u hunt around u can find something

I've seen someone on SDU manage to squueze 3 52mm gauges in the centre bit under the stereo.

Looked great. It was a very very tight fit, and I think he had to angle the gauges towards the driver slightly to fit them in!!!!

The problem with getting the GTR center doova is that it goes right up the top where the air con is. It has that corner bit (top right) missing to fit in there, but so does the air con :D

So if you move the air con down, or put the GTR doova under the air con, the middle one will have the corner piece missing as well.....

Another thing about the GTR console is that it takes 42 or 45mm gauges, which are hard to find. And there's no use using the GTR gauges cause it has the 4wd gauge on it which will be usless on a GTS-t :)

also jsut wondering,i have a pioneer 6450 head unit that i just installed today and i mounted it with the two standard screw holes on the bracket, and its a good 2 cms in the dash so its ugly at the moment, whats the best way of bringing it forward to fit snugly to the front ?

Scotty - you can get 45mm gauges here

Don't know if they are any good or not, plus you'll have to mod the plate a little to get them in.

Anyone else know where to get 43mm gauges??

Or you could try this:

*3 Gauges on top

*Air vents

*Climate Control

*A/M Single din stereo

*Centre-console-plastic-compartment-holder-thingy-doova-tray-box

*Cig lighter / ash tray...

Just an idea :wave:

ps. the tray fits a mobile / charger / handsfree or small sunnies, but probably not all at once :) [a single din-sized box]

i dont mind the original, its better than any other car i have seen, but until i come across one i like better im sticking with the original, but i know i do need a new boot for my handbrake and possibly even the gear knob as they are pretty ****ed :P

btw just successfully install my two front 6"ers yesterday i did the head unit and the amp in the bootr, now im off to bunnings to get some MDF to raise my 6x9s on the back aprc el shelf, not to mention carpet it, boy o boy this is gunna be a pretty big job :)

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
