Damn i wish I had spare cash lying around atm >.<

If you want one but don't have the cash don't worry too much because if we don't get 20, but get close, dez and justin are going to buy a few more sets to make up the numbers, and they'll just sell them on here when the group buy is over

Payment made :blink:

Let me know when you've received it :nyaanyaa:

I'll mark you down as soon as its in champ :domokun:

Hey i want to buy this for my brother as a present, can anyone do the recalibration for me? if so, consider me down.

If you know anyone that knows how to use a soldering iron they'd be able to do it for you...if not, an auto elec would almost certainly be able to do it with the provided instructions, and it should really cost VERY LITTLE as its just a bit of solder...let me know if you want to be included and i'll put you on the list :domokun:

Where are you located?? I'm going to be doing mine and helping a friend with his... one more won't hurt :blink:

I'm in WA, so probably won't help you tho

Haven't you received my payment :)

I paid on the weekend, should've come through. Let me know when you get it.

hasn't shown up yet mate, I'd say it should by tomorrow though. I'll update the list as soon as it does :(

I would be interested in a black set if they come for R33 S2... S2 dash is slightly different to S1. If this is definitely available and proven for S2 PM me.

PM sent.

Hey guys,

Payment was made today, should clear tomorrow, was made right on cutoff (4pm) if not it'll be Friday.

Hey I'd also like to know if there is any problems fitting these to a series 2 as my car is also a S2. To look at the pictures supplied the faces look identical, I suppose the question is whether we will have problems with the calibration, is it as simple as bridging out a pad like in the series one clusters???

Thanks,

Jaron.

Guys as i've just told Xizor in a PM, the series 1 and 2 clusters are identical with the exception of the way the warning lights are grouped (individually seperated on the s2, grouped on the s1 as pictured in the first post of this thread) these warning lights do not affect the speedo/tacho/fuel/oil/boost etc faces at all, and the kits will fit the same way on both s1 and s2 :)

Payment list has been updated.

Jaron: I'll mark you off as paid as soon as the $ shows up in the account :)

19 people on the list now guys, 6 payments confirmed and a few more on their way!

we're lookin good, just need everyone else to pay up and we'll all be enjoying our 300km/h speedos in no time!!!

i'm "xizor's mate"

nice to meet you all

these are easy to install, if anyone is around sydney and wants a hand let me or xizor know. you really could diy quite easily tho.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
