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!

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
