  1. Thanks for the help guys, still not getting it. All good, I'll just have to take in to someone ??
  2. I'll be honest I don't understand any of that. Don't get me wrong, I'm solid with wiring and connections and diy maintenance I just don't understand the parts and where they are but it sounds like you're saying it's a PITA. Engine bay is pretty chokers, any other suggestions?
  3. Hi, Trying to install a boost gauge in my 89 R32 GTR. I've searched the forums and Google extensively and there is a lot of great information about teeing into the stock boost gauge line as shown in the attached picture borrowed from a diy thread on this forum. Problem is that line has been removed on my car. There are some other diagrams but I'll be honest, I don't get it. As I am a simple person and visual learner, does anyone have or can anyone take a photo showing me where that line used to connect to the engine? That way I figure I can skip teeing into that line and just connect the tube directly to the engine. Thankyou in advance!!
  4. Thankyou for the suggestion, didn't know this kind of pack existed!
  5. Hi, Trying to suss out some replacement clips for the interior. Heaps are missing but at this point just looking for the ones used to hold the floor boards down as pictured. (Which incidentally I think might be the same in other areas of the car like the boot trim). Anyone sourced replacements? Any help is appreciated,
  6. Hi, Looking to replace all the fuses in the fuse box on the drivers side of the engine bay. Although not blown I can see build up on the metal part of the fuse. The 'regular' fuses I'm fine with. Did some googling in the other ones (orange and green) marked 'pacific' and the other larger ones (including the one completely missing that I hope is the reason my high beams don't work) and can't seem to find replacements. Does Nissan sell them? Any help is appreciated,
  7. Not keen on running E85 to be honest. Has to be achievable on pump gas Thanks mate, I will check it out now
  8. I'm not adverse to spending money, I just think if GCG are for example selling the GTX3076R for sub $2000 (admittedly for the RB25) with a 350-550hp range then there must be something in that price range to suit my needs for the rb26. I have also emailed gcg to see what they can come up with.
  9. Thankyou for the suggestion. Just had a quick look, with a power range of 450 to 800hp it seems way out of my needs, especially coming in at $3,200. Does anything else offer good spool up time, more of a 450 top range and come in a bit cheaper? I do realise that a 450 to 800 HP window is a great investment at $3200 if you think you might upgrade later but I'm 100% confident I'm happy with 400-450hp
  10. Hi, Have a new R32 GTR in the stable. It's a long story but suffice it to say I have very very little information on this car and it will, in the near future be heading to a mechanic to see exactly what has already been done. It already has a big single turbo conversion that is super laggy, full boost at like 5100rpm. Straight to the very weird question: I only want to make 400hp at wheels, I want the absolute best street response up to that power level. Putting twins back on is cost prohibitive. Best single for my purpose? Thankyou
  11. It's a Just Race Parts 10 in 1 gauge which is currently on the way so not yet installed. From all accounts it's a very capable multi gauge and the service thus far from the designer / retailer has been on point. I appreciate your input on the figures, interestingly I am also hearing that on some RB's 10 psi at 1k rpm isn't unusual?
  12. I understand what you're saying, especially in the context of 'learn your own engine'. Surely though there is still a rough oil temp people would suggest is an ideal minimum before driving. And by the same token a water temp and oil temp level at which it's advised to allow the engine to cool down or shut down to avoid damage. Likewise an oil pressure that if dropped below should be an indication there is an issue. Considering aftermarket ECU's such as Haltechs and Motecs can be used to set limits and take action on a number of inputs I just would have thought those inputs would be more 'common' or 'available'for lack of a better term. None the less I appreciate your advice and will see what I can ascertain from my own car once the gauge is up and running.
  13. Hi all, New here, and new owner of an R32 GTR. I have recently bought a digital multi gauge to monitor my boost, oil pressure, oil temp and water temp. An added bonus of this digital gauge is it allows for the input of minimum values before it's safe to start driving and maximum (or minimum) values which, once reached would set off an alarm so you can act accordingly. Despite my best efforts (including searching via the forum and google) I can't seem to find a solid answer for the minimum and maximum ideal values for oil pressure, oil temp and water temp (not boost as obviously that is dependant on the vehicle). I know this may change with engine builds, oil types etc BUT, I am thinking there must be a best guess value for these assuming a stock rb26dett? If I have missed a thread where this is covered I apologise but am happy to be corrected!! Any help is appreciated,
