Well, i finally broke down and bought the dash pocket from nissan, 30 bucks later the damn thing does not fit. The radio and the dash pocket seem to be mounted too far forward and leave no room for the shifter/ac/radio bezel to clip in its proper place. Could this be a problem with my brackets? If so, are there different brackets for the 89-90 as there are for the 91-94. It could also be the pocket because I think i told them i had a 91 when i ordered it, I actually have a 90 (bonehead mistake, or wishfull thinking, you pick). Any help will be appreciated because ive spent about 50 bucks so far just to fill the darn hole in my dash, im so close to just buying a double din cd player.

PS- just had another thought- it could be the actual shifter/ac/radio bezel. Were there two different version? one for a car with the equalizer and one for the car with just a pocket?

I have a 91. I purchased the Universal dash pocket from Best Buy for 14.00. They say it fits all nissans, toyotas..whatever. Worked for me.

does your 91 dash pocket have two mounting points on the front/underside of it? cause it looks like mine should

s0ldats: Just go to best Buy and talk to the guys in the back.....the ones actually doing the installations. (the ones up front are usually idiots) They'll know what you need for the car you have. I think it referred to as the universal pocket for imports. It looks pretty decent. I don't have the mounting face for the radio that was put in (before I bought the car) so I have a small gap and had to get creative. But it works and doesn't look bad.

dollar: I don't think I have two on the underside???? I'm at school, but when I get home I'll check.
