yah... but...

isn't this way of placement is defect?

tot of using a gauge holder on the dash, due to the untidyness of the wires.

nope have been through booze buses and rbts and they dont say anything

pods look shit on the dash brackets look better

if you know to hide and neaten wires it doesnt look crap

what brand etc is your gauge on the right top of the steering wheel? im looking for something exactly the same as that. and where did you get it from?

ta

looks like a HKS gauge :turned:

anyone else have any pics of tripple gauge installs? im looking to do mine soon, only with blitz gauges.

Personally i think having 3 gagues on the pillar looks a bit much.

I didnt read everything but the way i see it, if your into the track, like i am, having the gagues on the DIN of the headunit makes you look away from the road for too long, as you almost have to turn your head and look down. (actually, even on the street, where it could cause more problems!)

Whereas on the pillar you barely have to glance at them to see whats going on.

This is the Setup on my old ITR. I custom made the pods, and it didnt obstruct the view too much as to become a problem.

If id had my way they would have hugged the pillar more, but it was hard work as it was :P

Yes POS Autogague ones :P But they were more for piece of mind that i wasnt going to skyrocket oil temps or loose pressure, i just read them as if it went a hell of alot higher than normaland kept going, it was getting warm. (Read 90deg normal, 140 after 20-30 mins track :D )

I dont have experience with Dash mounted ones, but IMHO they look like ass unless you have an OEM gage holder like R34's have. Then it looks nice.

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
