Just spent 5 hrs taking my old shitty bubbled and screw-hole riddled dashboard out and putting in a replacement. Got the new dash on but need to get some interior parts before I finish the job ;P Heres what the car looked like without a dash

Anyone know what wreckers are open tomorrow?

Wow that's a damned mess :) Not sure about wreckers opened tomorrow, I think you'll be very limited

Hey heslo, was it you or nightcrawler who replaced the stock GTR boost gauge with a psi/bar one in the centre din ? Im sick of mmHg and I want something that goes up to 2 bar or 28 psi... anyone know how I can do this on a 32 while keeping the stock volt/water temp gauges?

Cheers :P

Not me buddy but been wanting to do the same also, don't need the small boost gauge there, wanted to replace it with another gauge but can't find one small enough. I don't know if Andrew did this either but if he did would be interested to see it done

damn, i know someone did it... using the stock triple cluster, and just replaced the faceplate or the gauge mechanics itself... would be nice to get that stock gauge reading up to 2 bar, or even 1.5 bar.... would save my having to sacrifice an aftermarket gauge slot...

Just went for a testdrive, no speedo ;| Think I havent put the speedo cable into the dash properly... ohwell, tomorrow more stuff to do it looks like..

    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
