i know they must sell these universal style cup holders that connect to the vents on the dash. anyone know where i can find them? definitely not interested in any cup holders that can only be purchased in japan.. unless they're cheap and easy to get.

here are a few P10 interior shots to give you a good idea of what i'm talking about.

I was interested in some cupholders myself. I found this shop by my area that carries them. They also have an online store. They are called Island Motorsports. Here is a link to the cupholders they have:

I got a used in-dash cupholder for the early 90's Sentra for $10 and popped it in my dash with a 1/2 DIN equalizer and it looks factory stock. Infiniti makes one for $100 that does the same thing, but it completely fills the opening, no room for my EQ.

I'll try and take some pics this weekend if you guys are interested.
Installation is easy too, just need a couple of 1" spacers from the hardware store.

It is designed to hold a couple of Cokes, sorry you 7-11 Big Gulp guys are out of luck...

Has anyone tried a '91-'94 SE-R or '91-'93 NX2000 cup holder in there dash? I have been thinking about it. Wanted to see if it was an easy install and how hard it was to cut the lower tray in half to make the 1/2 din cupholder work but still look factory.

If anyone has done this can they post a pic of the done deal?

Thanks!

Sure I'll post a pic this weekend, or I can try to take one in my garage tonight.

Ok, here's some pics of my cupholder. The pics are pretty grainy but you can get the idea. The cupholder fits just above the ash tray and below my 1/2 DIN eq/crossover. It is fully retracted into the dash here. Looks very factory stock.

Here's a pic with the cup holder pulled out. A metal bracket pops down below to hold the cup/cans up and there are two metal thingies that can flip up or down for thinner sized cans (Red Bull sized cans)

Hey A380Driver, I am sure they sell that type of beer at you local grocery store or carry out. Heh!

Actually, that is the stock cup holder for the '91-93 NX and '91-94 Sentra's. Same one I had in my old NX.

aluke000, how much did that cost you? Did you get it new or used?

Thanks for the pics. Looks great!

Used $10 shipped from an early 90's Sentra. Probably 5 bucks from your local junk yard. Standard part, so they should be easy to get. If you don't happen to have a 1/2 DIN audio component, you can probably get a 1/2 DIN blank from an older Z car or any audio shop that will fill the same spot.

Install is easy, just need two 1" nylon spacers from the local hardware store and longer screws.



And that's a Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve Hefeweizen for my poor sick granny :frog: (just kidding, granny prefers gin)

I looked everywhere for one of those dam cup holders. Every Sentra and NX2000's that I found at the junk yards were completly molested. I did find the passat cup holder but am having second thoughts about the whole bolting process. If it looks stupid I don't want holes in my car if I decide to remove it. If anyone has the passat cup holder installed, will you please post pics? thx

Geez if I knew the Sentra cup holder was going to be soughtafter, I would have gotten more than one. The guy had three when I bought mine. Heck I paid more for shipping than I did for the unit itself...

Lucky for me I still had some stuff from my old SER and found a cup holder. Is this the same one you installed ALUKE?

That looks like it all right. Get yourself a 1/2 DIN blank or pocket and some spacers and you are good to go.
