Hey Guys,

For a bit of Fun click here to have a bit of a play with what we can get done at speed hut when they have completed tooling etc, each person in the group will be able to do whatever combination of things you want.

Cheers

Another couple of Mockups requested by johnny, Although i don't think we'll get away with the car outline... i think its a bit too detailed and might not look any good and i don't have a hi rez version of it to go by unless someone has a good quality scan for me?

We're getting there, i have been in contact with Speed hut and they need an actual Guage unit... luckily i have one spare haha so ill get that sent to them as soon as possible.

Im hoping to get Nismo on the left side, and 260RS on the other, or Autech Version on the left and 260RS on the other.

Dont see the point of having two graduated lines both saying speed in KM/H... ie inner and outer both with same thing.

Also how about upping the redline on it....? instead of red at 8000 say red at 9000? or orange from 8000-9000, then red from 9000 onwards? Just for a bit more wow factor there... Just puttin the idea out there!

The point was to have MPH on the outside and kmh on the inside i just got bored for doing it so didn't really go into detail and get the exactl conversions was pretty much to see how it looked. Im pretty sure you would want to keep ur 8k redline, but yeah maybe orange stripes from 8-9 then solid red after 9. Might see if i can slap something together tomorrow :stupid:

Hey Paul,

Is it possible to maybe design gauges for R32's/R33's. It seems that solely with Stagea owners we won't really get there (we've given it plenty of time). So is it possible to maybe change a logo from lets stay the stagea unicorn to a nismo logo or something along those lines for the 32's/33's. Or are the dimensions different altogether?

Since we have a set for the S1's/S2's and a set for the 260's maybe a set for 32's/33's wouldn't be so out of the question? I'm sure there'd be plenty of interest.

Thanks man

Hey Ian sorry to hear about your car man i understand why your pulling out :D.

D3RV - the R33/32 guages are quite different to the stagea cluster so a universal type that will fit both is impossible. You would need to start your own group i think if you wanted to get that sorted but it suprises me that there isn't already a supplier of skyline ones as the car is much more popular.

Neil, i have had a look at the 260RS series 2 cluster and can't really see any difference... I would think these ones would be okay as the shape is the same.

As un update for all i have posted off the spare guage cluster i have and the center consol guages aswell (will be a hole in the dash for awhile) so hopefully they will arrive soon and speed hut will put up a section for everyone to put their names down.

Just added this topic to the GTROC in the uk so hopefully it will generate a bit more intrest and some more people will add themselves to the list and we can get the numbers up to the needed amount to have them made!

*FINALLY AN UPDATE*

Hey guys,

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to this thread have been flat out and a bit lazy :blink: the update is i have sent off to Speed Hut a guage cluster and my centre consol guages... I suppose i have been a little discouraged because the number of sign ups is only at around 13 or so... when we need atleast 25. I wouldn't have thought it would have been so hard to get the numbers but it seems it is. The good new is as soon as speed hut get the guages they will put the stagea up on their "waiting number" list. Once that happens everyone needs to go on there and commit to buy. The good thing about this is that you guys as the few that have signed up need to spread the word to any stagea owner you know or see to go onto speed hut and sign up...

Ive already forked out plenty of coin for the extra guage cluster and the postage... not to mention they can't guarentee ill get the stuff i sent em back... 

Spread the word people :) 

Cheers

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
