Cup Holder Struggle is Real. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Kouki_Mnster · 03-24-2015, 09:24 PM

In all seriousness what the H**** was Nissan thinking giving the S14 a rectangle for a cup holder, I don't drink juice boxes. In all seriousness I spill coffee daily and wanted to know what is the best cup holder conversion option out there.

I know there is the OEM option that cuts it into squares, but is there anything else out there?

Any thoughts? For anyone about to flame me for this, put a hot coffee mug in your holder, install a diff and see what diff chatter does to hot coffee.

Thanks guys

I use the fuel filter holder from my front clip, it's probably not something everyone would do, but I have never spilt my coffee.
I use a contigo mug, and it never let go once.

Drink your coffee, THEN take your car.

Best way not to spill coffee. And it is free !

Deal breaker, mobile coffee and redbull is a must.

Step 1 - Place Cup in lower portion of arm rest opening

Step 2 - Jam handkerchief, rag, or what no behind the cup to fill the rest of the opening.

Step 3 - ?????

Step 4 - Proffit?

Mind=blown /\ I want! Where could I aquire such a gem?

I have three of those 2 carbon fiber one metal painted in crinkle black I will sell two if I can find in my mess of a parts garage I assumed that was the first thing everyone did considering no one that drove Nissan in the 90's never got thirsty

Kingtal0n · 04-05-2015, 03:42 PM

Its either coffee... or the diff.

You dont get to have both!

If this is your biggest concern for your car, its time to sell it for top dollar because its complete, and start a new one.

Where can i get that cup holder # struggle

kenny.bickley · 04-08-2015, 06:52 AM

S13 struggle here the only thing I can think of is those cup holders that slide into the lip of your door windows

DeSantes · 04-08-2015, 08:00 AM

I'm with smoked240, I just remove my ash tray. The space seems to hold everything pretty well for me.

I've seen s13 specific inserts for the ash tray area made by members here. They seem to come and go though.

Just ordered the cupholder from twisted

Each time I go in my friend's car with a 2-way I get more and more used to it. The rear doesn't jump or hop so much as just make crazy sounds. They remind me of amusement park roller coaster noises. I wouldn't mind it so much if I could turn it off once in a while.
