Dion, if u read this. Was just looking at the engine u brought, you do know u have to pay aus customs, quarantine, agent fee's, docking fee's, storage fee's on that engine when it arrives here? roughly another 800-1k on top of the buy it price which streeter has quoted u.

ouch.... i hope he did realise this, he seemed to think it was a fair cheap engine

Yeah, I did know this, and Im still in front of buying locally because I'm not just getting an engine..

Hmmm. Well in the process of my alarm installation we've found my car used to have a boost controller, turbo timer and some sort of temp gauge. Also my standard boost restrictor has been removed.

Now with that removed and a catback exhaust my installer seems to think I'd be running atleast 14psi and he says I'm risking detonation because my timing or something might not be right and that I should hook up a boost gauge to know exactly how much psi I'm running and he can make it so I don't run the risk of detonation.

Is he talking shit or should I be concerned?

Well I took the R out for a drive after work. No detonation what so ever and on the STD boost gauge it makes it all the way up to the second to last line. So I don't think that is 14psi. I think I still might chuck it on the dyno just to check my AFR settings.

[Damo_R34]

i think the top line of the standard boost gauge is 700mmhg, which is around 13.5psi

I want a boost gauge.. But where the standard GTR cluster is. Anyone know of any? Or where others have mounted their boost gauges?

nismo 1 looks the goods but it reads boost in kg/cm2

I had the original aftermarket boost gauge bolted to the left hand side of the dash cluster which was not very regency friendly, and dog ugly.

Mounted this one and an oil pressure gauge where the clock used to be.

defi din gauge pack

you can order them with whatever gauges you want, pull out the old gauge pack, install defi's.

I want to try to keep it as STD or original as possible. Might try and get one of those Nismo clusters.. Don't really see much else out there

Edit: Yeh Dave.. Exactly what I'm looking for! How much that set you back? PM if need be.

dont most people just replace the stock boost gauge with a different 1 that can read higher, id hate the look of sticking 1 randomly on the dash

Yeah I hate that too Dan. No point having two boost gauges! Just replace the standard with one that runs at PSI or BAR and is more accurate

Easier said than done, all 3 gauges in the centre are electronic based gauges which use the same circuitboard. It could be possible to replace the fascia with a psi or bar version however I've never seen one available for purchase. Most of the time people replace that 3 gauge cluster with either defi electric gauge 3 pack or 3x 52mm individual mechanical gauges

Ive got this sort of thing:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/RADIO-SLOT-POD-3-x-...=item19b78f0f2d

using oil pressure guage, my aem wideband ratio guage, boost guage

not installed yet, then will sell my apexi boost guage

[J - Rad]

Yeah what I meant in that comment is replacing all three. Instead of having 2 or 3 gauges around your dash, just replace the cluster with something better
