A while ago I posted a DIY Tutorial of the fibreglass gauge pod that I made for my R33 - See HERE. A lot of people asked me whether would make them for other people but there is a lot of work involved for me. I have now looked into some pricing of getting a fibreglass company to make them instead.

I need at least 10 people interested in buying one of these to justify getting a mould and small batch made. Lead time on getting the mould and pods done is approx 4 weeks. I will keep everybody updated on their progress & ship out as soon as I get the batch made. Each pod will be supplied in raw fibreglass form with undercoat - ready for painting. See pics below. Note : The 4 shift lights in the pic are NOT included and will not have any holes cut in the front.

These pods will only fit R33 Skylines, will fit gauges up to 60mm (as seen in pic below) and probably won't constitute a defect for Police because it does not affect your vision due to it's lower profile on the dash. If there is enough interest I may make them for other cars as well.

Email me [email protected] or PM if you would like to express interest in these R33 corner gauge pods, or if you would like me to make a similar style for other cars (R32, R34, Ceffy, Silvia/180SX etc)

I have enough poeple interested now to get the mould etc made... but due to some unforseen delays due to the employees of my fibreglass guy, the mould for this pod will not be made until 2-3 weeks time and first batch of these fibreglass pods will be ready mid-September.

I have organised fot them to be prepainted in a dark grey to try and match the dash colour.

Any other takers?

siba33 - the shift lights are something completely different to what I'm selling. The four lights are actually attached to a AXAS/Hyperform shift light kit (they sell for about $150+ now I think)

As for the pod, I sure can make you one. They'll be ready soon. PM Sent...

There was enough interest for the R33 pods so I think I'll end up making them for the R32 in the coming month or so. I'll post up another group buy / for sale thread when it's approaching.

The R33 gauge pods have been completed and are now ready for anyone who wants them!!

Also I want to make a similar pod for the R32 ... so if there is anyone in Perth who is willing to lend me their R32 for a weekend, they can have one of the pods for free. I'll need the car for a full weekend and it won't be moving out of my (secure) garage for the whole time.

Email or PM if you are interested.

Got mine delivered yesterday and installed last night...

Threw in the HKS 60mm gauge and it looks immaculate... Well made, perfect fit. highly recommended. I'll post up some pics.

Installation took all of 20 mins... u need a hole saw (size obviously depends on your gauge), drill and a standard drill bit to feed the wires up through the bottom of the unit.... perhaps should of taken some pics of the whole process looking back, but hey... piece of piss to do.

Slap it in using the double sided tape to keep it stuck there (this is provided) and away you go...

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
