Looking at buying a HKS Type-1 TT...buy price approx $340... Is this a wise move?...or for the cash should I look at another timer?

Also looking at buying a 5"Tach (Autometer/Autogauge). Nothing too flash...the one i'm looking that's $300. Should I steer clear of the cheaper gauges and wait for something more reputable?:confused:

Advice / opinions

340 for a turbo timer, ouch.

I think you should buy a cheaper turbo timer.. 100-150$ and get a better tacho, those autogage series are very budget looking although im sure they perform the same as the more expensive ones, they just dont have a u beaut silver surround and face.

well in that case, i would be about 80/20 in favour of buying it.... as for the monster tacho, i guess its just personal preference, same as brand... all aftermarket gauges that i bought are all autometer and ivee had nothing wrong with them... damn those jap brand ones are damn expensive!!

Sweeet....I'll get the TT when I get back to Brissy:D ...Then ponder the Tach a pay or 2 after that...really all I want is a shift light ($20 compared to $300). I would go for the shift light on its own if it was readily adjustable...can this be one without too much hassle???:confused:

Monster tacho in the middle of the dash in an R23 looks sshhhweeettttt :uh-huh:

Otherwise brands like Pivot and Autometer make individual shift light units, I know the autometer ones are still fairly dear though and they take RPM catridges to set the shift point. The Pivot unit looks cool and from memory you can dial in the shift point which is easier.

I know!!! when I went-a-lookin' the guy at the shop had an open one...I didn't think it'd fit ('cause I wanted to mount it on the R/S of the dash) and so he pulled it out - it looked terrible. So I went on looking for places to sit it and the middle of the dash was the sweeetest option...:D

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
