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.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
