i was also planning on putting on a boost guage

but i found these Din slots that for 3 preety sure they are 46mm guages i wouldnt mind putting 3 in there one boost =) and another 2 that will be good to have

It's cool to post on here, I think most people are general Nissan performance enthusiasts anyhow? I was gonna buy a Skyline, but ended up with a 200 but still post on here.

Maybe you're just getting used to the power now? Anyway, sounds like a nice ride, post some pics if you have any.

Cheers

If it were me I'd spend the rest of the cash finishing off the exhaust...

- 3" dump pipe

- 3" front

- 3" hi-flow cat.

If u want to keep standard boost for a while, then this will be the bottle neck you should take of first.

$1K should be more than enough, it should cost you around the $500 - $600 mark.

Then go get yourself a decent panel filter (~$100 new)

Then a boost guage

And finally, boost it up a little.

That will keep you smiling for a few weeks.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
