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

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

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

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 :laugh:

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

spotted this, no electric windows or psteering though.

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

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 :)

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 :)

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 >:pirate:

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.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
