Cupholder from other car into eg?

[crobaa]

Hi guys, I have an eg with jdm dash and center console so the adm cupholder no longer suits & I dont have the jdm cup/coin holder. Has anybody modded a cupholder from another honda (integra, prelude, ek etc...) or even a totally different car to make it fit?

A member on here has done it with a cupholder from a daihatsu into his ek. Looks pretty neat, ill link his thread here once I find it LOL.

u will have to relocate ur headunit to the jdm console and put the cupholder set into the old headunit slot

[crobaa]

Yep thinking I might do that ^ thanks

i have the same setup as you. i just go on ebay to buy those single din cup holder for Honda. you can put them either below the air vent. or the top of your double din console. they both fit pretty well. but you might find if you fit the cupholder in the double din compartment. its quite annoying when you drive manual. otherwise you can try CRV cup holders. they will fit into your eg ok. like i said they not expensive at all. max $20 inc shipping. :) good luck! and post some pictures!

Yup I moved my head unit to the double din part near the shifter, bought a cupholder off eBay for the original head unit location. I still have one spot left on the lower part, might get a 3 gauge single din holder

[whitecomet07]

okay one more hint for you. if you are looking to get a 3 gauge single din holder. look for the Nissan Pulsar ones. they have good fit. cheap in price. and there are a lot of them around. the holder is tilted in an angle so its easier for the driver to see. as to what gauge to put in. its up to the guys imagination :)

[crobaa]

An aftermarket one to suit pulsar or oem? If so which oem one? On eBay there's aftermarket metal ones to suit a single din slot and their angled towards you too. Kinda looks like stairs if you turn it around lol. It's about $18 delivered

[whitecomet07]

there should be an Nissan OEM one for pulsar. its not an aftermarket item. but yeah.. its really up to you. $18 sound like a good deal! does it include gauges?

[crobaa]

Lol no way including gauges. What model pulsar is it from?

The gauges I'd ideally want are oil temp, trans temp & oil pressure (or water temp)

[whitecomet07]

the pulsar with the SR20 turbo in it. one with the vent on the bonnet. forgot the name. they used to call it the mini-zilla. haha. i think that has boost, oil temp, oil pressure in it.

[whitecomet07]

if you are lucky you will find one for $30-40 including the gauges.

Pulsar Gtir oem

[crobaa]

Yep it's called a gtir. Looks ok but boost would be useless so id have to buy a new gauge, then it wouldn't match so I'd have to buy 3 new gauges anyway lol. Thanks for the idea though

How did the ebay cupholder go?

Thinking to grab one also but worried it might be crappy made

This one (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Universal-DIN-Storage-Pocket-Can-Drink-Holder-BLACK-/250876223539?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a69636033#ht_2359wt_1185)

I got the cheapest one, it's called jb lab cup holder. Cheapest buy it now from eBay $16.99 free post. They all look identical just different seller or brand. I strongly suspect their all identical which is why I bought the cheapest one. That DNA brand is nothing special anyways.

[EKVTIR-T]

Cheers for that

I just went to a wrecker.

the one I went to collected them from different cars he dismantled.

just visit a few places and they'll show you what they have.....

A bit of DIY ingenuity will get it looking nice. better than buying ebay cheapies....

Will take a pic of mine when i can.....

don't know what car it came out of thoug.h

[crobaa]

Normally I like DIY. But when it's more work, costs more, won't have as nice fitment I can't see the point. Especially for something like a cupholder which is unlikely to break. Can't go wrong for $17, guaranteed to fit and looks nice. All it has to do it hold my cup

Bro real racers with JDM double DINs have passengers hold their cups for them.

[crobaa]

Yeah but I like Asian chicks man and their cleavage can't handle a cup

[Bludger]

Can't you put your drink between their legs?

why attempt cleavage

lol

this guy knows. but then if the drink is cold it's going to be cold down there and it'll feel uncomfortable :(

[crobaa]

Na the cup would get all moist and soggy
