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

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
