Ok, after seeing a few skylines on recent cruises, i noticed the rediculous amount of guages being used on the dash lol, though it looks cool, i fear it is hella dangerous, i sore one gogomobile using 5 on his dash, they were boost guages, radar jammers, gps's and some other ones that of which i dont remember, it worked out to be about 5 guages spread across his windscreen.

So was just wondering how many guages you own on your dash, and is it realy worth the vision loss (if they are mounted on the windscreen)

P.S im sure this is a repost, as every topic i post - is a repost

I got three on my dash (water temp, oil temp, oil pressure) - though 2 of them are not working now. I figure its best to have them there, specially when on the track, so that I dont have to look down at the center console to check the readings - and it did help when I was at sandown - till the gauges decided they give up on me.

Got the boost on the A-pillar - reckon I dont need anymore gauges aside from those ones (although I was told that I should look into getting an exhaust temp gauge)

3 in the DIN and one boost gauge on the steering column

Same here.

The three in the DIN consist of water temp, oil temp, and oil pressure.

I also have my screen for the wolf hand controller mounted in the ashtray cavity, but is hard to read when driving, hence the need for gauges.

None of the gauges disturb my vision through the windscreen.

I have oil temp and pressure top of the dash dead centre (cause if i loose oil pressure I wanna be able to notice it), and boost on the steering column.

I also use water temp, knock level, and inj duty cucle on th PFC.

nah I can see fine

That picture looks familiar from there, and which gauge do you actually pay attention to? :D

The A-pillar gauges are cool, but they do get in your way a little bit when turning right, the boost gauge mounted on the steering wheel is sorta useful :)

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
