Hehe, yeah it was a bit pricey. But the end result speaks for itself, plus I'm not the most confident of people when it comes to D.I.Y

As this is a car I'll be pretty much planning on keeping for years to come I'm taking the approach of doing it right the first time to save any hassles down the track

Hey guys.

I picked up some gauges recently to evaluate for market with the express intention of mounting them in the standard location.

They are "Defi Style" gauges with peak recall, smoked face, etc etc etc.

Anywho, they are 60mm and lot and behold the fit EXACTLY, and I mean EXACTLY in the opening in the standard 3 gauge hood!! Bonus!

Here are a couple of pics. They aren't wired in yet, that's for my sparky, but they are installed and all the cables are run.

To hold them in place I bent up a piece of 25mm wide mild steel and put some nutserts in there to hold the bolts in.

Hey Bass,

where did u get those defi gauges from? Keep us posted on ur progress, i'd like to see the gauges in car and working as im looking for similar type of gauges since my factory boost gauge has been playing up lately.

Hi mate,

I'm evaluating these gauges for quality and accuracy before I bring them to market.

Can tell you my source just yet, but they have the peak recall, warning light, opening ceremony etc etc.

I will definitely let you guys know and post pics and videos once they are running.

My boost gauge was "intermittent" in it's working condition.....

they look alot like my gauges bass junky.

mine are stepmaster swiss movement, and have warning light (whole gauge flashes red), warning sound, opening ceremony, no peak value but the warning is adjustable to any figure. also mine are blue or white led gauge, depending on how you wire them

mines white when headlights are off, blue when on :rofl:

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
