Dick Smith (at least used to) sell a digital gauge. They were about $25 or so, and are fairly accurate.

It really doesn't matter how accurate the gauge is, as long as you use it consistently.

blue point tyre guage is the go. around $50, nice big dial so easy to reed. and release valve to bleed pressure to desired level without getting hot air burning your hand.

I'm after a decent tyre pressure gauge, mainly to check tyre pressures when at the track, something reasonably accurate... Anyone recommend anything or are they all the same?

go to autobarn or WOOLIES (Perth) and get the Digital Michelin pressure reader. Man, I bought one and used it for over a year. I got no complaints!!

Very accurate and my baby's 4 tyres get tuned to 36 psi every 2 weeks! No complaints and max of $50 only...

cant really recommend one but i can tell u not to buy a normal snap on one. they are cheap feeling and look like ones u can buy from the dollar store :P (they are about $18)

looks like the higher model one that beer baron recommends seems a lot better.

i still reccomend one like the blue point one i posted above. because it's on a hose you can hold one end to the valve and the dial in your hand which is handy if your valve is upside down or you have dished rims. plus as it has a release valve you can release excess pressure whilst you are still getting a reading.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
