For those of us with an SAFC, we know they're not exactly subtle when placed on top of the dash for maximum viewing pleasure. I'd like to get an idea of where you guys/gals are mounting your SAFC in the cabin. On/in the ashtray, in the spare DIN under the radio, under the steering wheel near your knees - the stealthier the better.

Please post your (reasonable sized) pics.

I had mine mounted above my left knee on the underside of the dash until I sold it and replaced with PowerFC. It took better quality double sided tape than what came with the unit though. But once mounted properly it stayed and looked really cool. Didn't look out of place at all. And I could fold it up flat if needed, although I don't think I ever did. You couldn't really notice it at all through tinted windows at night.

I wish I still had it for the bling bling aspect :rofl:

Excelllent idea JimX. I reckon that's about as stealthy as you can get without making custom brackets/mounts for it.

I finally installed mine just above my left knee and can see it perfectly through the steering wheel day and night. As JimX said, I can flip it up to mostly hide it and also needed some stronger 3M mounting tape to keep it stuck there. The tape that came with the unit lasted all of 2 days before it started falling off.

Because my SAFC is the black model not blue/silver, it blends it a lot better and not as visible too.

If anyone is curious, the little gauge sitting in the ash tray area (bottom left of pic) is a custom made multiple temperature gauge. Plans for it are available for anyone who wants them.

Hey adam,

I got the nismo gauges from a r34 which a dealer shop had imported and they needed it to be complied....sooo i did a few exchanges with my stock parts . :)

Yeh i was planning to buy a single din plate for it, and cut it around so it can fit the avcr

oh yeh...i need a better head unit...lol

    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
