Hey Guys,

Firstly I did search but didn't find anything again!

Just a question regarding the 3 guages in the centre.

What size aftermarket will go in there?

How do ou get them out? Just pop the cover?

Is it as easy as hooking up the existing cables? (oil temp)

And also can i use the factory oil pressure sensor and wiring with an aftermarket guage??

Obviously boost and voltage will be easy. but the oil temp is the only concern?

Cheers

Josh

1. pop out the aircon vents with a flat head screw driver on the lhs

2. remove two screws holding the center gauge.

3. flip up to remove.

Also do a search on "triple gauge" in the forums, the conversion to non-factory gauges has been done before.

^^ perfect,

I tried every thing except triple guage,

Will do now

Thanks

No worries.

As for what gauges fit in there, 2" / 52mm gauges fit in there no problems. Some don't quite look right with the bezel on ( i think autometer might be one of these but don't quote me on that ).

The question about using the factory oil pressure signal - i had a look at the unit last night and there's just a loom going to the back of a sealed unit. I'm guessing one of them is the oil pressure signal and can be tapped in to but i'll have to check my manual to be sure.

Interested in seeing how yours turn out so be sure to post pics mate! :O

Speaking of this my tripple cluster rattles alot and is really annoying for me.

What should i use to put between it and the cars dashboard to get rid of the rattles? Some sort of sound deadener? and where would i get it from?

Use foam weather strips that you would normallly use between door jams. The type that you can peel off on one side to reveal an adhesive.

I use that on anything from the cold air ducts to the gaps around my panels when soundproofing my boot.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
