Gauges In Din Pocket Area

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:

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

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
