Quick one on how I did it;

Cut out a peice of thick plywood to size, prepped it, painted it matte black and then glued the shithouse out of it on the back, but the gauges can still pop out if need be. (the whole unit will be resprayed next week). Cut the holes to size, popped in the gauges and off I went.

The reason you need the ply is because the gauges are too small for the hole in the stock gauge pod..in fact the stock gauge pod is not circular, slightly oval shaped. But you cannot see any gap at all around the gauges, but I painted the ply black just in case.

To install the turbo timer, all i did was pop out the two existing switches which were located there. (fog lights and a blank), and cut out the middle between the two with a knife then sanded the edges smooth, the greddy full auto timer is a direct fit in there, i didnt need to brace it in the back or anything as its a really tight fit.

man i wish i thought of that, i might have to move mine now :) , gauges look the goods too mate, i think that's next on my list, but i think i'll change the volt meter for an air/fuel mixture gauge. top job :P

Next gauge im getting is a volt gauge, but im cutting out the cigarette lighter and placing it flush there.

hey nice job on the turbotimer mate, I was looking at doing the same thing with my boost controller which is pretty much the same size to the turbo timer. Was there much room behind your timer when you put it in? And did you just stick the fog light switch on the blank switch panel on the left of the steering wheel?

Hey,

Sooo much room behind the timer, and i just ditched the fog light switch as i removed the fog lights all together too.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
