Yeah I was thinking of putting it there in the corner of the windscreen, but I just didnt like it over there, so just ran a tiny bit more tubing and wiring and whacked it on the steering column and prefeered it there so left it there.

Mine doesnt have a cup or anything, just the boost guage with a single bit of normal sticky tape holding it down :) very proffessional look :P

I'll go get a gauge holder for it, one day..... :(

Where have ppl picked up boost from on inlet man.? I was thinking of picking up from brake booster vac line.

(what he said) :(

There is an unused nipple on the back of the inlet plenum, it has a cover on it, series 1 anyway.

heres mine.. good old double sided tape from manufacturer

id rather ti be easy to pinch that have everything ripped apart

I like this thinking, but I don't like the idea of it flying off and hitting me in the head in an accident. A 2 5/8" mechanical gauge would be a pretty serious weapon... Ouch!

Cheers

Tried to mount my boost gadge on the dash 2day with double sided tape and it wouldn't stay. So I sat it cup holder until I get time to make alu. bracket mounting from hand brake release. I really only hooked it up 4 tuning and to see what boost we r running after full 3" ex., K+N panel filter. I have got an R32gtst w/gate act. I am going to fit, so we will see if they hold 10psi then tune SAF-C. I will take gadge out once tuned. Go the Stagea!!!

Hijack alert... :thumbsup: I have started making some gauge pods for the Stagea which should be ready in early-mid Jan. Single pod and double pod to replace the clock and single pod at the base of the A-pillar. See THREAD HERE for more info.

i like the triple din cluster - are they the drift guages in the $175 kit...? can remember who theat was through.... looks good though.

Im lookin forward to mearcats guage holders, for where the clock sits.

I like it too, it's a shame you can't choose which guages you get when you order a Defi DIN-guage cluster, it would make it so much easier!

Not sure if those ones in that shot are the same ones, but Just Jap are doing AutoGuage packages as a group buy for that price...

:P The ones in Logans car are "drift" brand. Same diff, really, with the blacked out faces when turned off. I recently put three into a mates Exa -

They are a good looking guage, but im not sure of the accuracy on the Drift ones. I had a boost guage in my car for a lil bit, made some funny noises lol

you can't expect three gauges for $175 to be accurate... you'll pay easily more than that for one name brand gauge most of the time.

for example,I recently picked up three defi bf's to put into my stagea. water temp,oil temp, oil pressure and a controller II unit for $650.

will look good in the clock and pillar positions I expect.

Exactly, that's why I'd prefer to wait, save up, and get full electronic guages too. I love the Defi's, just wish I could afford them sooner (as well as all the other mods I wanna do). :P:laugh:

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
