Hey guys,

Recently picked some gauges up. Oil Pressure, Water temp and Boost gauge.

Ive searched and got a DIY for the boost gauge which seems easy enough. So im kind of looking for info in regards to the other two.

Was wondering if you guys could give me a quick run down on installing and/or any extra bits i need? I heard i need to get a sandwhich plate for the oil pressure? If i do need this, any idea where i can get this from and approx cost?

What about water temp?

Since my car (r33gtst) already has oil pressure and water temp gauge, cant i just splice into those senders? Or will this stop the gauges in my dash from working?

Thanks in advance for the help guys~

Brendan

hmmm brendan u need a sandwich plate for the oil press gauge china ones are like $20? but they're crap :banana: when i had it on my car the thing popped off while driving and leaked a sh*t load of oil out....because there wasn't enouhg length in the oil filter bolt thingy and also the cheap ones leak cause the rubber seal doesn't seal properly....or something but if u buy a G-reddy one for like $60 it'd be fine....water temp u need this tube looking thing that connects wiht u rradiator hose and u screw the gauge sender in it and thats it if u go on nengun and search it up it should be there :)

Cheers

You can put a T piece where the stock sender is and run both from there, that's how I set mine up. (for oil pressure)

Did you get a water temp gauge from Jshop? I was looking and couldn't find one :D I grabbed me a water temp sensor housing though, they were hanging on the back wall.

Hey guys,

Yep i got them for J shop, cheap as.

Intalled my boost gauge without problem yesterday.

I also picked up the sandwich plate...

And now waiting for my buddy club water temp adaptor to arrive. (Yes, i know getting branded prodct for such a thing is wasting money, but hey it will match with my nismo radiator cap and greddy air diversion plate ya! )

So when my water temp adaptor arrives ill install oil pressure and water temp.

Thanks for your advice! and offers to help me install them! Ill give it a go my self first, if i run into trouble, ill come knocking for help haha! :blush:

Im just a bit sad, that my 1500km old mobil 1 0-40 oil will be lost.. well some of it anyway, ill try and catch as much as i can!

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
