Lol where would i get one of them from though? I dont mind cutting the trim, im sure i can do a decent job of it. But i might just mount the gauges as they come, they have their own mounts or i can buy a holder. I would prefer a holder, they look better, but if its that much harder then ill just mount them on the top dash with their stock mounts

They pop up on ebay a fair bit, and in the SAU for sale section.

This might be a noobish question, but will this work if using a piggy back system such as the eManage Blue? I would imagine that the data coming from the ECU would be data before being remapped by the eManage and therefore probably wouldn't show correct data on the ecu talk... or am I mistaken? Looks like something I might add to my future mod list if it will be compatible.

it reads what the ecu sees. so if the ecu is being tricked into believing lower AFM volts, then it will show the lower AFM volts (and if thats the only signal intercepted/modified, wont make much difference). outputs like injectory duty % will be unaffected.

I got Water temp, oil temp and oil pressure in the Defi BF series. Pretty sure they are legal there also.

See thats probably what im gonna end up doing, just mounting the gauges without a holder, same place you have them. Is that cable going into your aircon vent from the gauges? Or how did you get the wiring through the firewall?

i think you may find that injector duty may be different. the SAFC is just a afm signal bender, but others like the emanage can alter the injector rates without just bending the afm signal (which also results in a timing change). the emanage just intercepts the injector signal from the ecu to the injector then alters it a bit to get the required injector duty.

ahh yeah if it also modifies the injectors or timing (if thats possible) then those outputs will also be inaccurate. but with that much 'trickery' going on, i wonder if it wouldnt have been much better to get a daughterboard/remap/nistune type setup.

back on topic, ive actually thought of making a digital gauge that hooks up to the consult port and allows you to set it up to read one of the readings (be it water temp, speed, volts, etc). e.g. a 4 digit LED display with decimal point. mainly because people are used to mounting gauges and not so much mounting rectangular displays. if only i didnt have a real job i might have made it already :P ive been too slack on updates to the LCD display anyway, so thats first priority.

Goes through the air con (had to drill a small hole) then into the controller unit (near my left knee area). The only wires which go through the fire wall are the ones for the sensors, and they go through the bit just above the accelerator.

Dammit, all this gauge talk has got me looking into supplying them again. I did have everything ready to go with being a supplier for SAGA and Swoosh but the LEDs got me too busy. I've contacted them again so may go ahead with it. Get the car back to commercial jet form :banana:

Yeah no problem, funny though I just found some stock from a while back, the SAGA/Swoosh equivalent of the Defi Link series.

I should put them up for sale. Boost Gauge, Exhaust temp gauge, oil pressure gauge and oil temp gauge. They all daisy chain together and come with a remote control (instead of the control unit DEFI uses) and include all sensors :P

They've only ever been out of the box to see what they look like, then forgotten about in the garage.

Dammit, you guys have started me ricing it up again :)

How's this, fits perfectly where the "useless" lighter was, it's RFID so knows when the driver is in the car....has a nice Aluminium bezel so matches the interior well.

1 push = Acc

2 pushes = On

or

Foot on brake and 1 push - Ign!!!

looks good dan! Almost looks like its meant to be there. I use my cig lighter though for my GPS though that's an easy work around.

Yeah, you can get those cig lighter extender things with two of them on, can go in the ashtray (where the lighter should be anyway)

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
