New S13 CupHolder....OEM fit/look - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ae86driftn · 03-04-2006, 11:10 PM

Search,but didn't see that anybody else had tried this holder.

It's from the early 90's b13 sentra's. Fitment is pretty much perfect in the stock radio area-with a little trimming.
It only holds cans and med. size drinks,but thats perfectly fine for me.With a little trimming you can probably be able to fit larger drinks....

and since the bezel angels or slopes, condensation falls near the shift boot not on gauge/electrical stuff below it..

When my friend first saw it,he thought I had bought a flip up DVD player.

It's dope to me. most OEM cup holder I've seen so far.....

enjoy

silviaz · 03-04-2006, 11:14 PM

OH MAN!!! THANKS !!!! You should sell your idea lol.

projekt_s13 · 03-04-2006, 11:20 PM

i know it would make profit. Im gonna go get one cuz i hate taking my ash tray out and tossing it on the passanger floor every time i have a drink.

midnite_180 · 03-04-2006, 11:30 PM

did that with my old s13, my new one is a LE and comes with cup holders ill post some pics later on.

altimas · 03-05-2006, 12:21 AM

Looks good...then again, that looks like the exact cupholder that came stock on a U13 Altima.

edit: someone should post a list of cars that had this cupholder, that would make junkyard searches easier.

s14slide · 03-05-2006, 12:28 AM

yeah, used to have one like that. A friend still does. I took it out because I found out the hard way when you smack the brakes pretty good (i.e. emergency), medium sized drinks over half full will take flight up the dash and cause head units to smoke. I don't like it when two hundred dollars goes up in smoke. It probably wouldn't have happened if it didn't sit at an angle. But other than that little flaw, it works great for the morning commute.

Andrew Bohan · 03-05-2006, 12:59 AM

^ that's one of the reasons i don't drink and drive

sileighty92 · 03-05-2006, 09:05 AM

good info on the cup holder.

mannnn....I do the same thing and it's a pain when you have a large drink. Kinda hard to shift

vvtisupra · 03-05-2006, 11:18 AM

how do you see your gauge and why did you put your gauge that low ?
Whats the point of having it there ? Do you look down when you drive ?

StudentDrifter · 03-05-2006, 02:32 PM

Time to go to the junkyard.

neilsan · 03-05-2006, 02:36 PM

That's pretty rad, I just might relocate my boost controller for this thing (I need my cd player)

that's not where it. it's an extra gauge I had,that I put in there,because I didn't want to take a pic with a big ass hole in my face plate.the spot is acutally for a/f gauge.

Chinoliro · 03-05-2006, 06:10 PM

i have one
came off a sentra
5 bucks at you local junkyard

reefer1114 · 03-05-2006, 07:27 PM

i always got my girl to hold my drinks...that and you can always take off the ashtray and stick it in there. just makes shifting awkward. yep

nissantuner22 · 03-05-2006, 10:25 PM

sports cars dont come with cupholders

Andrew Bohan · 03-05-2006, 10:31 PM

How often do you look at your gauges? I have 3 in that same spot. Rotate the gauges until the WOT value is @ 12 o'clock. All needles should point up when going fast, it's not too hard.

BlackSilEighty · 03-06-2006, 12:10 AM

I have one from a 91 Maxima in mine. Slides into the bottom DIN and fits flush to the CD player.

OKRB20DET · 03-06-2006, 08:48 PM

....wow at your shift knob.

ranisron · 03-06-2006, 09:11 PM

well, guys... you can also try the Altima 93-97 cup holders... It has the same design as to the sentras...

I just lay my drinks in the back seat floor, with some books to sanwitch the drink up.

OdessaS13 · 03-06-2006, 09:28 PM

if it ain't in a sealable bottle it ain't goin in my car

s13dan · 03-06-2006, 09:55 PM

lol, I shove all my bottles in between my back seat and front seat on the passenger side. the way the tranny tunnle is and if i move the passenger seat far enough back will keep it right in place.

BlackSilEighty · 03-06-2006, 10:37 PM

Take out the ash tray and set it in there. That's what everyone I know does.

Edd240 · 03-06-2006, 10:43 PM

ha that thing does kinda look like an indash lcd screen...i just put my drinks in that lil slot next to my middle console department which makes it uncomfortable to shift >=/ ..not the ashtray....yet again i have an s14

Dutchmalmiss · 03-07-2006, 01:22 AM

if it's a 12 oz can, i just drink a little and force it into the side pocket on the door. holds it in tight for me. just don't brake hard. maaan, if only there were usdm cup holders like the jdm oem ones that attach to the center console compartment.

axiomatik · 03-07-2006, 11:15 AM

for small drinks, I use the ashtray hole, for big drinks, I'll flip down the back seat and set it on the driveshaft tunnel behind the center console. With both front seats pushed all the way back, it gets cradled there by the three seatbacks.

zaneithan · 03-07-2006, 01:50 PM

thats what girlfriends are made for, to hold your drink while you drive

drew935 · 03-07-2006, 02:31 PM

+several people for the ashtray holder lol. I did bid on one off ebay with a cupholder/ tray in one unit. It went for like 100 when the bidding was done though. No way on my end
