Hi guys, I finally got around to getting my guages installed.

Full credit goes to Maroun(spelling) & the boys down at Race Solutions in Penrith.

Has anybody installed an autoguage A/F ratio guage that has the warning light? I need to know how to turn off the warning buzzer as it's really starting to tick me off. The instructions say to refer to back page but there was never a back page when I bought lol.

I have to say, that install looks awesome mate :laugh:

Cheers! :)

As I said before, Full credit to the team at Race Solutions (next to HITMAN) in Penrith.

It was a bit complicated to get them fitted, the stock guages are a single piece with a flat window that sits behind the pod holes. They had to make a custom mounting bracket to fit them properly.

I'm very pleased with the result :D .

how come u didnt match em? they look crazi dont get me wrong but i would of matched em all.

how much did u pay for em all was thinkin about upgrading aswell

are you serious? If you look at the pictures it seems like the A/F guage changes colour...

PS awesome install and guages, ordinary pictures! :D

Thanks for all the replies Guys. Keep 'em coming.

Andru, they are all the same colour, I'm guessing the a/f guage turns red when the warning light goes off a certain number of times. Maybe it's to distinguish that guage to let you know something funny is going on. Don't know why it turned on, The engine was off & had the car on ACC :O only happened once so far.

Cost of install all up was $450. Worth it when you consider the final finish of the install & the fact that there was a bit more customisation compared to a regular guage install.

Cheers everyone! :dry:

Love the gauge carrier....do they do one for the R33 ??

That's the stock centre console guage cluster for the r34. You could probably buy a triple guage cluster & mount it in a similar position, but it won't look as good.

A defect in NSW too if the guages go above the steering wheel I think (Edit, Just read you're from the UK lol)

Its probably doing it because your engine was off. I have the same A/F guage, except without the warning light. If the engine is off, the reading will obviously be low. If the engine is on, and the reading is still low and the warning light on, then I'd say you o2 sensor is gone. Thats what happened to me when I had mine installed. Once the o2 is changed, its all good :thumbsup:

Good luck... great looking install :)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
