Dunno what gauges to get yet.. I like the HKS ones also. And they are a bit cheaper to i think....

Dunno where to mount them either. As on the A piller is a defect, above the dash is a defect. And having a gtr there in no din pocket...

What's legal and what isnt regarding gauge mounting?

i'll probably buy a boost gauge soon, dont think id get any others for now but i was just wondering, what was allowed and what wasnt as far as mounting a gauge goes.

basically (in tassie, prob be the same everywhere else), anything that is 'obstructing' the view, i.e - a-pillar, middle of the dash..

but i've seen some people mount them infront of the speedo/tacho and thats fine...so i assume its anything above the dash lining or whatever..

cheers

I even believe here in South Aust you cant have any mounted to your steering coloum or infront of the dash gauges either

oh ok yeh prob 'obstructing' the speedometer or whatever haha but yeh ive had gauge on the a-pillar and been pulled over heaps of times and haven't had any troubles..but yeh, i think it all depends on the cop

they look really good, where abouts did you get them and the gauge pillar from?

hi m8, bought the guages four or more years ago from import solutions in the uk, they were originally on my rover 220gsi turbo, they are the 52mm ones, called direct bright meter, dont know if they are still made?

the gauge pillar i made myself, took ages, but definitely worth it :)

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
