hey there guys i got a R32 GTS-t, and i got a FMIC, Pod, 3inch from turbo and a GTR fuel pump. I am wanting to install 5 gauges, but i dont know what i should be keeping an eye on. all i can think of is Boost, air temp. i am after the HKS range of gauges too

Boost/vacuum, oil temp, oil pressure would be my vote :O

The oil pressure gauge saved me an engine rebuild - the motor was dumping oil and I managed to pull over and shut it off in time.

Why air temp? If you have a consult cable and a pda you can view air temp and a lot more :sweat:

sadly you cant on GTST. GTST's don't have air temp sensors.

i would suggest (listed in order of importance):

oil pressure

boost

oil temperature

water temperature

fuel pressure

exhaust gas temperature

that's if you must have 5. personally i think 5 guages looks a balls unless you mount them very neatly. the first 3 or 4 should be all you really need.

Gordon if you're after gauges to monitor the engine, you could install oil pressure, boost pressure, and fuel pressure and also fit a digital temp gauge for the oil, water, exhaust, air, etc. temps. There was a guide posted a year or so ago by a user named "meerkat" (I think). Great idea, fits nicely with warnings for out-of-range temps.

If you're after gauges for show, fit 5 of whatever right in front of the passenger :)

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
