If you email them to uq1 [at] hate-tank.NOSPAMMERSORYOUWILLDIE.net (remove the obvious) and I'll host them for you :D

Jason.

guys i got a set of white faced gauges for my R32

they arent luminous

they light up like the standard ones

ill find out if i can get em for an R33

i have pics but cant post em so send ur email and ill send em to you

As far as I know the actual gauges themselves are like, glow in the dark type material, and they can change between blue AND green, so I don't think its that easy.

I was hoping I could just put them in, leave the standard globe behind them, and not connect the fancy illuminating globe thingy .. I'll have to have a good look before I go ahead and do it, cause limunated thingies are just ... wayyy too ricey for me :D

done  

hey wouldnt ya just have to change the colour of the rubber cover on the globe and then it would be white light  

just a guess

oh well, I'll look in to it a bit more and let everyone know once I hear back from UAS.

I'm off to watch South Park.

L8r.

Jason.

yeah i know what you mean but i do like them during the day.. i guess i would be able to get used to them at night.

Heya Jason!

I would be interested in the white face that light up blue. rice or no rice i like them :-) I am also chasing after a lit up blue 60 mm boost gauge so that should go nicely with it :-)

Can you let me know how you go with the lit up ones and if spoiler shop can install on a saturday you know how bloody busy i get!! mid jan would be sweeet timing for me!!

okay okay okay enuff is enuff,

i will organise to get the white ones only.

gimme tomorrow to do it.

if I cant i will post up that I cant.

i take it people will be happy with a replacement dial so to speak that slides over the stock one and looks the same except white.

that way nothing major is removed and walla it looks the goods.

can someone post up a rough number i am looking at.

say 8 or 10

And i am sure in about 5 minutes RUSSELLLLLLL from STREET WEAPONS will say that he can do it, cos I know he can.

but if not wait here for me tomorrow

LOL

cam - pretty sure Jase put his in by himself. Have to be thinking the same I reckon.

I'd be keen for the luminous ones - but less keen for the white-faced ones that glow plain at night.

and after xmas sounds good. when I have two legs again. :)

the luminous one are electro luminescent and I am pretty sure they are very opaque so the standard lighting work work well as thepoint of the gauges are to glow and then the dark text etc no light penetrates so it becomes visible.

I can prolly organise the plain whites cheap, and hell yeah zanda i aint paying for no installation. why would you?

alot of the luminous ones have no boost.

the white faced ones i am trying to organise (that dont glow, just light normally) are basically going to be made from someone donating their dials for a day or 2. so anyone with their car off the road etc better be nice to us

1: Not sure :)

2: The second post was of a GTR one, don't know why it doesn't have a boost gauge.

The first two pics were R33 GTS-t's

2 questions,  

1) wouldn't the facia of the dash protect the light hitting the windscreen?

2) The dial shown have no boost gauge.(2nd post)  Is that EXACTLY what their like?

Thats it :)

Any news on the plain white faced ones Riaz?

I'm still waiting on UAS to get back to me regarding their prices etc...

no boost gauge in the gtr one cos the gauge sits in the centre panel din space where the climate control sits.

okay who wants to lend me a dash for about 3 -5 days.

the guy needs the dash to get it scanned etc and see what difficulty there is in producing it.

they acutally replace your ones dont slot over.

can do any colour and with any graphic etc

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
