I have found that a standard 3 guage DIN panel would not fir into a SII Stagea. A little find of fiddling and I have managed to get 3 guages mounted above my stereo rather neatly.

Thats what I want. But wot fiddle?

I'll be doing that soon, too! I might move the air-con controls to the middle though, the guages up top, and put the stereo in the bottom slot.

Did you buy a DIN-slot holder for the guages, or did you make one up?

66yostagea - Because the DIN guage would not fit I had to make up my own panel.

GoldZilla - homemade using 2 thin pieces of MDF, cut to different sizes and glued. Then had a local signwriter profile cut the holes accurately (very little room for error). Cost me 1 grazed knuckle (left hand) and $15 for profile cut.

The smaller back section is a 'snug' fit into the metal frame and all is held in place by the front plastic facia - quite solid.

Was it only the SII 'S' that had the three gauges in as standard? ie the ones mine has? Or was it somthing introduced in all the later SII's??

Luv your work. Do u feel like getting a few more made up being you know the dimensions?.

Sorry team, I would love to assist but I am down a store manager and end of financial year is nearly upon us all. The Stagea will be going onto the back burner for at least 2 months.

Know that I have the unit fitted I am inclined to lean towards a black/dark gray perspex. If I get one of these made up in the future and all is good I shall see if a small run can be done.

Yep, as far as I am aware only the series II "S" type manual comes with those 3 centre guages.... also has some different front seats too :P

What size are the gauges you put in there? 60mm...

Id be suprised if you could fit 3 defi gauges in a small holder like though as they are 60mm gauges which is quite big

The Defi guages I'm aiming to get are the 52mm ones, and if I manage to get the panel right when I make it, I might make a few of them to sell onwards.

Interestingly my boost guage is reading 8.5psi. I thought max was 7psi standard. I can only assume that a split dump pipe and full 3" exhaust has allowed things to breath a little better. Either that or my boost guage is skewed. Apart fromt the above mentioned exhaust, the car is standard.

  • 6 months later...

marc2, I know we are going back 6 months but did you have any pics of gauges and front panel before fitting? Has anybody nutted out how to fit the R32 GTR 3 din gauges? Can I modify the standard front panel mounts or just make up new panel? Has anybody seen S2 Stagea manual 3 din gauges 4sale?

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
