Hi guys, pardon me for being a newbie. Just bought a R33 series 2, comes with a standard headunit from Jap. I am thinking of putting a single din gauge cluster at the location of the A/C unit and have the A/C unit at the middle and lastly locate a new head unit at the very bottom. is that possible? anyone done that before?

any input would be useful. cheers

possible, but not really easy. the dash sorta curves at the top the the ac goes, and ud have 2 chop it... other than the cosmetic work, yes u cud

How about leaving the A/C unit as it is and have the gauge cluster in the middle (Like the GTR) and head unit at the bottom. Do i need to relocate the sterro bracket for that?

nope. will fit straight in. use 2 5/8 guages ,a bit of steel plate bent to suit the area and a bit of angle cut pvc pipe and you have it.

thanks Roger, however how do i get the head unit clamp on the bottom section? would it be just sitting there without any part secured to the dash?

If you where to purchase a R33 GTR A/C control unit, it will fit in the middle as it does not have the corner missing like the Gts-t's.

You can even buy the GTR three gauge cluster and have it modified with your gauges of choice, inserted. This would also maintain the OEM look.

Don't think it is really that hard.

The Factory head unit has a plate on either side that can also screw into you new head unit.

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
