Here is the unit im talking about, this pic shows a carbon fibre look on the front but the one i saw in super cheap is plain black.

Has anybody used one of these?

If you have, i have a few questions.

1) does the cup holder have something underneath it to stop the can falling through?

2) is there enough room for it to be out and have drinks in it and not crunch your knuckles against it in 1st, 3rd and 5th in an R33?

3) is it easy to fit?

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a link to the product page http://www.aerpro.com.au/list.php?pcode=FP...o=&cat_sno=

I used the aerpro universal pocket without the cup holders and they fit in my R34 perfectly. The one i used had 3 different surrounds for it and i had to chop the edges a little on the smallest one to fit in but apart from that was fine. might cut it real close to the shifter with the cup holders though.

hey mate,

bought one of these for my r33 ages ago, cost me $49 only to find out that the holes dont line up properly :rolleyes:

it would require redrilling holes into the metal bracket which i couldnt be bothered with at the time ay...

1) yer as you pull it out a small frame folds down to hold the drink.

2) when you have drinks in it i think it will just be in the way - i had a short shifter n with a maccas drink it would just hit.

3) mine just sat in there when i had it - you can make it fit so that the thin frame that pops on the front of the din unit sits over the plastic frame surrounding all the aircon unit and cd deck etc. however then its not bolted down. mine jammed in though so it doesnt really move.

also the small draw above the drink holder is not much good lol u cant get your fingers in there to get coins etc out and cd's just dont fit haha

cheers Jon

    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
    • Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!  
    • While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.
    • Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
