Hi mate, seeing as you bought the guage off me I thought I best shed some light on the installation process.

I own a R33, but most Nissans and particulary Skylines are all generic.

Most skylines in the drivers side wheel arch have the wiring loom bung which connects the fusebox in your kickpanel, next to the accelator to the fusebox under the bonnet.

If you turn your wheel full lock right and remove the inner guard plastic thing (if you have one) you will see some black plastic piping along with some other assorted wires (most likely aftermarket alarm wires)

If you pull the bung out you will have access to your cabin, this is how I have set mine up.

I suggest getting a coathanger, cutting it, and zipting the vac hose to one end of it and poking it thru, (screwdriver or any other long non-bending thing works well too)

Then its just simply a matter of hooking it up under your bonnet, then running the vac to your gauge where ever it is in your cabin and ziptieing the excess hose out of the way from sight and feet near the pedals!

Goodluck any other questions shoot me PM or post here!

I might mention to get it into your drivers side wheel arch, you need to run it back towards the firewall behind the RHS strut tower, you will find a few holes there, or just a large one just run it thru there,

One other thing, ziptie it to your loom, so it doesn't come loose and hang onto your tire and wear thru (or get ripped out)

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
