Oooo! post a pic when its done! :D u running a controller aswell ?

nup no need for controller . .

Defi Racer .

i would upload a pic now, but for some stupid reason its only giving me a 2mb upload size. its normally 8mb !

Either use Infranview to change the files size (it is free) or upload it to photobucket of something similar :P

hey hey 8mp limit is back !

here it is mounted, bracket is under the dash matt, with to slight slits to let the mounting point to the cup through. double sided tape underneath

regular workshop is full so its not wired up yet

Looks good TJ. :)

Especially with the mat hiding the bracket.

when you guys put the gauge in car, where do u guys get the power from? if the light of guage will be on when you turn on the head light

take the light power off your cigarette lighter. It has to be useful for something. LOL

currently got oil temp, oil pressure and water temp in Saber S2 for the girl's car. oil temp + pressure in the glove box, water and boost to go into the ash tray spot (all 60mm).

the series 2's scream at you when you go past a defined limit, hence why 2 of them are mostly out of sight.

will post pics when they're all in. still trying to get a suitable boost gauge.

BTW, did anyone try to put the GTR 3 guages cluster on their car, hard work? my one is series 1, so it got no guage in it at all and i like the GTR set

I've got my setup like Nick's (Goldzilla) but just flipped around (I've got my 3x Autogauge gauges on the bottom and my head unit on top)...I'm thinking of changing it to like Nick's setup...

Also although off topic....you guys got any ideas where to mount the the hand controller from the Blitz Spec-R boost controller. I've currently got it on my vent (used a clip from an old ambi-pur car air freshener) for whent he cops pull up, you can easly take it off and put it away but I would like to use my vent...any ideas

I'll take a photo of how its currently setup

I'll probably be swapping my air-con and stereo when I eventually (if ever) get around to changing my head unit - I'd like to install a single-DIN DVD unit, but seeing as I need room for the screen to swing out I might put it in the top slot and the air-con controls on the bottom (if it can be done). The gauges will most likely stay in the middle slot.

As for my boost controller, I've removed my ash-tray (I've never smoked, and don't allow others to smoke in my car) and used that spot to hold my Defi gauge controller and the GReddy EBC. This shot only shows the Defi controller installed, but I had to cut the back out of the ash-tray holder to get the gauge controller to fit (and run the wires, of course), and the EBC now sits on top of that. Oh, and I can still use the cup holders comfortably!

    • Seems to be the case mate , still an OK price for a grey import.
    • I’m interested in the carbon diffuser fins and Toshiba MFD screen replacement if they’re still available.
    • @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂 
    • Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.
    • They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
