R33 Gauge Levels?

Hi,

I've only had my R33 a few days and was wondering about the position of the hand on the Boost Gauge? Upon starting the car it rises to over +7, is this normal?

This is going to sound like a real dumb question, but I didnt really notice it before I changed the oil. The Oil Pressure Gauge fluctuates from about 2.5 on idle to 4 when cruising to about 6.5 when giving it a bit of stick, I just wanted to check whether these levels are also OK?

Thanks

Thats a relief, sort of. So its most likely an Electric Gauge problem? I'm not game to take off the dash myself, unless its mega easy.

Might be a job for an Auto Elec?

yeah i'd say forget about that gauge .. it should be at 0 when u are turning on ur car and about -4 like someone above mentioned ... it would be cheaper and look better and have better accuracy to just get an aftermarket gauge like hks apexi etc .. but go for jap ones though .. they are much better ..

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
