I think I am leaning more towards PSI... ...

Think I've picked up a profec B II so I won't need a gauge really as you would hope a EBC will hold perfect boost everytime lol, and I am not mounting it on the dash... Hiding it in the glovebox me thinks

[Krishy]

Wayne you will find that the Profec B Spec II needs to be tuned properly otherwise it can cause spikes.....you can always have a gauge to monitor whats happening

my factory computer is playing tricks with my car, so i am biting the bullet and puting the PFC in Finally.

Party time for me

I hate tacky sh!t in car interiors, no where decent to mount a gauge in a GTR other then the steering collum without it looking sh!thouse even then it doesn't look that good... Argh

[Krishy]

well then keep monitoring the el stocko gauge bro

you could always mount a 52mm gauge where the ash tray is supposed to be

[Inline 6]

thats why they mount them on the bonnet, nooo that looks tacky to. theres a decent mounting point over the a/c. just rip out the old 1s there

anyone got a garage out the stix i can start storing random 260c's i find for sale for a later rebuild operation

spotted this, no electric windows or psteering though.

Bonnet mounted gauges have to be good for a few extra Kw's surely....?

Rego went up in price... very nice. 3 months is now $196 / 12 months is $735....

living in the country does have it benefits $154 per 3 months :laugh:

and the not so benefit is that it gets spotted more times in the garage than on the road by it's owner

[craig R33]

hehe stupid bank

i called to cancel a monthly direct debit to a charity.

the charge to do so was $15!! ffs

then she proceeded to tell me that i have been conditionally approved for a credit card up to 8g and asked if

i was interested, my reply '' if you waive that $15 fee ill consider it''

she did too haha stupid peanut, i dont want no credit card hehe f*k em

I thought that it was against the rules to spot your own car

No way am I molestering a GTR by removing the factory gauges... And krishy the std gauge is already almost maxed out with the amount of boost I am running atm so when I am running anymore boost the std gauge wont be of any help aha

[Matty 31]

At least you guys aren't paying rego on 3 cars

bad enough, chucked 3 months on the 31 just so i can have it in my name. Plus got the trailer too

You could possibly consider what I did, buy an aftermarket oil pressure and turbo in psi gauge and mount them where the GTR clock is (lets face it, who the frig needs a clock?)

which is what they look like at night, here is a wider shot - i chose VDO gauges since they look similar to the standard gauges in regards to color, font and font size;

Which is the wider angle and then this is a daytime shot (before fitting gauges)

one gauge removed already and the other one still connected. benefit of having the gauges mounted there are that theyre totally legal and dont require you to sacrifice an aircon vent (i did have a water pressure gauge mounted in the right hand aircon vent but i removed it because a) it was broken and b) this is australia thanku, i need my damn ac..)

Or, you could mount extra gauges in the glovebox

nice setup there ben. want to do my new dash layout in the skyline?

could certainly give u feedback if u like email me ur schematics dude

i'll be drawing up a plan on friday as per my dash space (incorporating a larger switch panel as well) so will knock it into digital form then

also depends on how rugged u need it to be - you're gonna be using ur 31 for strictly track work eh? means u can probably get rid of the majority of your centre console and fit a 3x3 gauge display, fit it and the entire dash in red led's

or you can have the glovebox with everything that would be relevant to a copilot/tuner and just have the fundamentals for the driver to worry about. or you could drill loads of holes in the dash to fit as many gauges as you need

but then again, if you're racing, some of the a pillar gauges arent too bad, and you can mount gauges to the sides of the console in most cases without creating too much of a crash hazard..

depends on if u want it legal or not >

strictly track only. there's not going to be any heater controls / vents / stereo / etc. Got an RSM, now just need to get a heap of gauges that are the same and can give me the info i need (Boost, Oil Press, Oil Temp, Water Temp, Volts, Fuel level (for the cell, thats if i can put a sender in there somehow). Maybe a med sized tach, got the RSM giving me speed/tach for now anyway

If you're going racecar 100%, get mechanical gauges and mount them where theyre most visible to you. Some would argue electronic are best but I prefer to have each gauge as independant as possible, and preferably to not rely on the electrical system.
