Hi guys, i am thinking of getting defis for my er34 soon but as my car has the lcd screen option (am selling the screen to someone in the forum already) thus i have a pretty level surface if i want to have the defis sitting on the centre console but now the thing is, im not sure if that is legal and if it would get me a yellow "post-it" :down: another choice i have would be to have the defis on the A pillar whichever option is legal? im looking at having 3 gauges by the way. pics of three gauges (not factory ones) sitting in a 34 would be great.

lol~ well, im trying to "minimize" the chance or else my gf will force me to sell the car!! has FMIC, 3", dump pipe and BOV now already... going to the pits = sell car or 3 years of naggings... :down: both looks nice to me but havent see much of 3 gauge pod holder though... cos next i will be getting a boost controller so i guess that may be sitting in front of the speedo or somewhere else....

lol GF's opinion on YOUR car = nothing

my girlfriend hates my brother's TME EVO because it looks like a 'done up' Lancer *shakes head*

doesn't like this because of THAT, doesn't like that because of THIS

lol don't worry, you'll hardly get picked on for having gauges, just tell her cops don't mind...

try and say whatever you have to say to make her believe or think the car is perfect and won't get picked on

lol then you can keep the car AND the girlfriend, win win :D

but the factory facia is not able to fit the defis in i heard... what about smaller sizes ike 52mm instead of 60mm? This is the reason why i am trying to get the factory facia cos i wanna put the defis in it but was told by some that it will not fit... ;)

Three gauges on the piller will be a bit much I reckon. I have the GReddy pillar mount on my R33 with two gauges, and it looks good, but three would be way to cluttered. Don't think it would fit too well. Go for the the top of the dash where the GTT's normally have it. I like that look on my R34. Just hoping to change for white faced dials at some point. For the three on the dash as well as the guage cluster ;)

why not get a GTR cover and make a custom panel to hold them in, should fit 4 if done right or 3 and the turbo time etc.

Something like this

Then get a fiber glass panel made to put the guages on.

i like the look of the R34 GTT style guages on the dash looks good like that i think greenline sells a guage holder that goes on the dash :D they also have one that goes around the speedo thingy ill post a pic !

I like the looks too and it will certainly look very legal. would you be able to get me a pic of the holder greenline is selling? i really wanna do something to my car before my pay finishes. :blink: or i might get a DVD player 1st. Was thinking of maybe just a turbo gauge by the right side (mearcat) and forget about the rest. but was worried that i might need the rest next time... hahaha... im so full of contradictions aye... my bad... yea, chi100188, would appreciate if you can get me contacts and pics so i can think about it. Cheers mate! looking forward to a cruise and my day off to clash so i can come along and see everyone's dash!! hahaha

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
