OK hear goes for my tutorial , there are going to be two things missing which ill update one later. 1. oil temp sensor install (because I'm waiting till my cars ready for a service and ill do it then as i have to put in a oil filter adapter to install the sensor) 2. wiring (because i used the wire harness from my turbo timer because its never worked since i got the car so even if i showed you you would have to do it different) OK to start i had to buy a new boost gauge from the one in the first post because the sensor was faulty , so i decided to skip the sensor version and went to autobahn and payed $60 for a "drift" mechanical gauge, it will be more accurate anyway. before!! step one remove the air vents using a small screw driver to pop it out. now remove this plug and put the vents aside some were. next remove these two screws. then lift and pull forward. undo this plug and your center cluster should be free to take out the car. now the center cluster is removed you want to take out the original gauges just undo these two screws. now you ready to start , i got this from bunnings because it wasn't too expensive but its made to hold sheet metal to trucks so its pretty strong, but still can be removed if needed. use the silicone to stick the guages to the cluster surround, make sure you prop them up and put them in the right way . now to wire it in all you need to do is make sure the red wires go to accessories (wire only get power when you turn the key) and the black wires go to earth. on the oil temp gauge the green wire needs to be feed into the engine bay and connected to the supplied sensor which will be screwed into the oil filter adapter , and if you decide to go with a mechanical boost gauge like i did then you need to run a vacuum hose from the back of the gauge into the right side of the engine bay (through the fire wall). then put the center console back together the same at you pulled it apart . in the engine bay use the supplied T piece and install on the hose coming from the intake plenum . and now it should look like this , keep in mind i had to buy a new guage because the other one was faulty . after any questions just ask any criticism please keep it to your self an easy hint for you to get the wires and vacuum hose through the fire wall i went to bunnings and got a meter of this stuff called spaghetti its red and its used to put screws into bricks. feed that through the firewall and tape the wires and hose to it and pull through.

Well im headding down to bunnings in the morning to get sillicone to make a start. Just for starts the 3 guages cost me $95 all up including postage. Its gonna cost anothe $50 for the oil filter spacer (to use oil temp sender). But all in all wont cost too much

yeah i just tryed the hot glue but it diddnt hold so i recon ill use a silicon as well . lol its all trial and error from here on . but ill get it done and show photos if any ones interested ??? if no one shows interest ill skip the tutorial and just post the finnished pic

when i mean mechanical i was wron in the definition , sorry. yeah i ment there is a sender for the oil temp and the guage is connected via a wire . sotty014 i noticed you ran in to the problem i just ran into . the 52mm guage is just that little bit smaller !!! i was thinking of setting them in there like yours but i might set them back a bit . how did you mount ? im going to try useing hot glue around the back of the guage and an L bracket on the back of it holing the guage sturdy . but good job there i hope my guages turn out to look as good

hi guys im planning to change the three guages in the center cluster to mechanical guages they will arrive this week (1 digital boost (psi) 1 digital voltage meter and 1 digital oil temp guage) im going to attemps to replace that standard cluster with these because i dont want A piller guages , if someone has already done this i would love a link to there tutorial as i can find one , but i will take photos as im installing and if sucsessfull i will post a tutarial , and show you how it turned out , the only part i think i need is an oil sensor adapter does anyone know were i get one of will autobarn stock them ? but give it a week or two and ill let you know how i went .

yeah i cant find it . dont worrie about it im gonna fiberglass my boot to fit a sub box in so ill just make a box for a pod filter while im at it

im home now so ill try find the page i saw

I think they called it an m25 or something like that i dont know much about the staga

FIRST READ THE POST MY PHONE WONT LET ME TURN IT OFF. AND TWO I DONT KNOW WHAT MODEL. IT WAS ON ANOTHER SITE THEY WERE USEING THEM. I WANNA PUT ONE ON MY R34 GTT. A

OK BEFOR U START ON ME YES I HAVE DONE A SEARCH AND NO I DID NOT FINT THE ANSWER .!!!! I WAS READING A POST ABOUT THE STARGA (SHOULD HAVE CHECKED HOW ITS SPELT BUT IM CRAP AT SPELLING ANYWAY) AND THERE BIG ON PUTTING AN AIRBOX FROM THE V35 ON THERE CARS. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL ITS BECAUSE U GET MORE AIR AND THE INDUCTION/BLOWOFF SOUND YOU WOULD FROM A POD BUT WITH OUT HAVEING TO USE A POD (SORT OF WHAT I WANT) I WAS WONDERING IF ONE OF THESE HAVE BEEN FITTED TO AN R34 OR IF NOT DO U THINK ITS POSIBLE ? I KNOW SOMEONES GOING TO COME IN HERE AND START ON ME ABOUT ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS OR 'USE COMMEN SENSE' BUT I THOUGHT THATS WHAT FORUMS WERE FOR (PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW ASKING PEOPLE THAT KNOW) ??? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. SORRY ABOUT THE UPPERCASE AS IM USEING MY PHONE AT WORK AND IT ONLY DOES UPPER CASE FOR SOME REASON.

im looking do do the same thing can anyone tell me whe size the threds are ?? or are the aftermarket sensors different?

YEAH PAY.S GOOD BUT THE WIFES PUT HER FOOT DOWN AND SAID SHE LET ME GET THE CAR I WANT BUT NO UPGRADES TO THE CAR TILL SHE GETS THE UPGRADES TO THE HOUSE ONE DAY !!!!!!

THANKS MATE WILL DO (ONLY FOUR HOURS OF THIS SHIFT LEFT GOTTA LOVE NIGHT SHIFT).

THANKS FOR INFORMATION. NORMALY I WOULD DO AN EXTENSIVE SEARCH BUT WHEN I TRYED ALL I GOT WAS A POST ABOUT STEP 1 AND STEP 2 ON UPGRADING. IM ON MY PHONE AT WORK SO THE PAGE LOAD TIME IS LIKE 10MIN.S SO I FIGURED ASKING THE QUESTION WOULD BE QUICKER THAN TRYING TO SEARCH WITTH THE SLOW PHONE SPEED

HI FOR SOME THIS MAY BE A STUPID QUESTION BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF I GOT HOLD OF A POWER FC THATS NOT ORIGONLY MENT FOR AN R34 GTT NEO CAN IT BE LOADED WITH THE SOFTWARE TO RUN AN R34 GTT NEO. ?

lol i love this topic i got my r34 gtt 4door manual about 3 weeks ago and the first thing i did was go on ebay looking for a boost controller, but one of my friends said in stead of booting your standard turbo first up maybe look at the big three. SUCK BANG BLOW, so instead of buying a boost controller and boosing it im going to get the air going into the motor cooler (fmic) the spark stronger (better coils and spark plug) and get her farting better (split 3" dump pipe and hi flo cat) after i do all that and by then ill be use to the normal 5/7psi then i might up the boost, but thanks to this thread i might consider changeing the oil cooler as well cooler oil means cooler turbo means safer to run,

just my luck i found one but its little out of my price range http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISSAN-SKYLINE-R34-...=item4ceda1ab17 but its exactly what i would want

awsome do you have a link ?? ill try google anyway

well as i said im very new to it all and im sure youv all had this question a million times , i guess ill look around to getting a front mount some time in the future, iv got to change my front bumper first (i have a series 2) will a front mount hide nicely in a series 1 bumper or do i have to go a nismo bumper or something?

that would be great because everyone i find says in brackets (not for r34)

lol yeah im in melbourne and wanna avoid the defects, cops here see so much and an led light and they will pull you over to give the car a once over. see what i dont understand about the front mount wouldnt it be less affective as the air is heated twice before it hits the radiator (inter cooler then oil cooler then radiator) thats what i want to avoid you know it great to give more power but woulnt it make the car run hotter or has this already been explained before ? sorry new to turbos !!!!

hi i see full dump split/dump pipes everywere for all the other modle skylines but none for the R34 gt-t it there one out there that fits or is there a reason i cant find one?, your help would be great.

right i get you now thanks for your help so the other thing is if i were to do it could i use one off the left of another car and just flip it to fit the other side ?

are you still selling or is it sold ?
