Adz2332 : Hey mate they are Apexi EL 2 (Boost, Water temp & oil temp) i think around $700-800 maybe??

funkymonkey : Yep, if that car is still in good nic, like i had it i would buy it again!!

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 :)

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
