Hi all,

I've been intending on purchasing an oil temp and voltage guage for my N/A R34.

I came across a genuine triple guage set from a R34 GTT on ebay for a bargain so i decided to purchase it.

Does anyone here know how to wire it up? especially the oil temp guage. I imagine the volt meter would just splice into the cigarette lighter wiring.

-> and for those wondering about the boost guage - I'll probably just leave it (not wire it up) or find a clock of the same size :blush:

Cheers

Oil temp you'll need to grab a sender unit off a GTT or a GTR and screw it into the side of where the filter goes..then wire to the gauge.

Grab a boost sensor of an R33/R33 and wire that to the boost sensor, at least it'll show vacuum.

Thanks for that. Would you happen to know the part numbers? and are these sensors easy to install - in terms of no drilling or needing to fabricate anything?

Yeah thats true. I just bought 3 cups, and 3 gauges which came with the car but were'nt installed.

Got DRC to install them for me. Just 100 bucks, i didnt mind because i didnt want the headache.

thats cheap as, i wouldnt wire in three gauges for a 100 bucks lol

No idea on part numbers, just got to a wreckers....boost sensor is drivers side rear-corner on the engine bay behind the strut tower, the oil temp sensor is a small can looking thing with a wire going to it, joined to the alloy ring that the oil-filter screws into.

Should be zero drilling, just running wires

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
