I looked but didn't really find anything useful so I will ask. I want to get oil pressure/water temp/boost gauges but when I fit them I would like them to sit beneath my head unit where the din pocket goes. Is this possible? If so, how can it be done? I reckon they would look mint there. Any other suggestions?

Cheers,

Evan

been done plenty of times dude, might be a tight squeeze for 3 guages unless you allow it to take up both pockets although i think i have seen it done in the one pocket, you could try using some aluminum sheet and just cut the holes for the guages where you want them to sit, the fix the plate in place where the din pocket screws go

Hey,

Yeah it can be done pretty easy. You could get the Defi din Gauges or you can get the justjap gauges. Justjap do a package where you get 3 gauges (boost, oil temp, water temp) and a metal plate that will fit under your deck. There are also 3 different type of packages with different gauges. Cost $175 all up for the Justjap package or around $500 for the defi din gauges :thumbsup:

Just make sure you dont buy the din GTR gauges... i did that and then found out that i couldnt use them in my gts-t...lol

Terrific, thanks everyone for your replies. I like the defi gauges a LOT but damn theyre expensive for 3 gauges... Any experience with the jjr gauges? Are they accurate? And it doesn't quite specify if they are electric gauges or mechanical. I don't really like the idea of hot oil and water lines going thru into the cabin of my car...

Cheers,

Evan

Yeah the JustJap gauges that come in the package are mechanical, but you could buy the metal plate for $20 and then buy the electric gauges seperate. They sell the electric gauges as well for $90 each. Ive used a Autogauge Boost Gauge in my R32 before and had no problems :thumbsup:

u will see i just got a 3 din c/f surround and passed all my gauges through there...

dont ask me where i got it from, a mate gave it to me so i guess try autobarn or just jap???

Does anyone know if that Defi DIN gauge set can actually replace the original gauges in the GTR?

Also does it come with a boost gauge? it doesn't say

The defi din consists of 1x Pressure and 2x Temperature.

So you connect the pressure to either boost or oil etc

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs
