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)

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
