Been looking for a pod holder for my S13 similar to the pictures below. I plan on running my aem gauges but im not sure if they sell someting for 52mm gauges to fit the single DIN pocket. I dont like the pillar pod holder and I dont wanna get rid of my center A/C/. I have searched every where but cant find one like this with the angle to the drive side. if not can you refer me to somewhere that has a guide on how to make one :)

First thing you will need to do is unscrew the rings off of the AEM gauges and hold them up there to see if they will actually fit. AEM gauges use an oversized bezel... height and diameter. Typically, even small diameter 52mm gauges will not fit "properly" into a DIN opening without molding them in. However, the S13 radio opening is a slightly oversized double-DIN opening. So it is possible to squeeze (3) small diameter 52mm in there as long as you drop or raise the radio all the way to the edge of the trim... by making your own mounting holes in the OEM brackets. Or you could probably oblong the current mounting holes to give yourself more adjustment. Also, when I say mold the gauges in, I'm referring to this below... S14 radio trim for reference:
