Hey guys,

As I dont smoke and have no need for my ash tray - who has put a gauge there?

What size gauge? i.e. diam vs length - max size to instal there?

And if you did put a gauge there - what did you use to fill the space in?

Are there any gauge holders custom made to fit as the ashtray replacement?

Cheers,

Chris

yeh i saw a ashtray made up to fit a gauge in it somewhere while ago for sale.

but i cant remember where i saw it. cause i was thinking of doing the same thing but cant remember where i saw it for sale.

someone else on here mite know who sells them

Its 80mm Wide x 21mm Height x 90mm Depth.

It Required me to cut out the back of the ashtray to fit it in. But theres plenty of room behind the ashtry for the connections and the vaccum line.

Thats in an R33 S2. I cant comment on any others

I got rid of my ciggy lighter, and placed my boost controller (Turbosmart E-Boost 2 60mm) there. Cut the hole out with a dremel then smoothed it with sandpaper. I use my ashtray for coin storage :P, I run the power for the boost controller directly from the ciggy lighter plug. I moved the plug for the lighter to the centre console bin, using the cap style one. The only problem is i cant see the BC when in 1st, 3rd or 5th, but no big for me as the Eboost has audible overboost alarm, plus i am modding the dash with the optional eboost warning/shift light kit.

Can get and post a pic if you need clarification.

cheers

PM me

$40 for the singal holder

and price for 2 gauge holder unknown as still designing it

cheers

guys and gurls

i used to have my boost gauge where my ash tray was... kinda sucked having to look down when tuning boost etc...

In an r33 the best place to put it is in the air vent on the R hand side of the steering wheel...

i've mounted a boost gauge(PSI) in the same way EvilINGT hads done his e-boost, and i have also got my turbo timer hidden in my ashtray so people cant see my timer.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
