the only a pillar gauge holders autobarn sell are the autometer ones, which wont fit with a jap brand gauge and vise versa.

what type of gauge have u got? if u got an jap brand eg apexi gauge u can pick one up from evo-r in clayton, hey have em in stock and are the trust/greddy brand.

All good. Might even try the autobarn up at the Glen (even though it is very small) and see if they have then. Otherwise I'll go for a bit of a drive. As long as the person that i talk to knows what they are on about

Next question, maybe should start a new thread but I'll try it here.

I want a boost guage that lights up blue like the eluminescent dashs. I'm going to do my dash like that, so i may as well do it to my guages as well.

Any ideas would be great.

If there are no blue condoms in the packet, go to Jaycar and buy some.  :P

condoms over the globes dont even come close to the el gauge look.

i got the el dash and el apexi gauge on the a-pillar.

if u go to autobarn and buy an autometer a-pillar gauge holder and then get a apexi el gauge u r gonna get screw yourself coz the gauge wont fit the gauge holder properly!

If all goes to plan, I'll head down there on Friday and then should be able to put them in on the weekend.

Do you have a rough idea of the cost of them both?

i got mine over 1 year ago cant remeber exactly.

i got both the el mechanical 60mm gauge and gauge holder for about 300. If u want the electric 1 with the peak hold etc its about 450 by itself!

Evor aint cheap or are the jap stuff, but they work really well!!

Yeah, I just had a look at the apexi site, and they do look pretty impressive.

I figure that if i want the good looking stuff, I'm going to have to pay for it. And the apexi stuff is meant to be pretty good, so i can't see myself backing out of it just because of cost.

I was just thinking that maybe a few different places such as Evo R and Makspeed might have different prices for them and i might be able to save a bit of money.

Thanks for your help.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
