I’m putting a swoosh boost gauge in my R32 GTR

Referring to the attached photo any tips on what I can put where?

I was going to do it like this but would appreciate any better ideas

Red (B+) = straight to the Bat +

Black (ground) = to any earth

Orange? I’m not sure about?

Yellow (ACC) = to the Cigarette lighter +

Brown (small lamp) I’m not sure about?

Below is all I can find

There are 5 wires that come from the gauge:

Red wire - find a power source that ALWAYS has power going to it.

Black is ground - no explanation needed

Brown - dimmer switch basically. Find a wire that turns on only when you turn on your headlights/parking lights

Yellow is for the ACC key switch - any wire that gets power when you turn your key to the ACC position

Orange is for the "ON" the car power line that will not be disconnected at start of engine, from key switch - pretty much explains it. I'm assuming they added this wire to your gauge because it has a start-up function. Because I don't see why else you would need 2 different ign sources

U can find all those wires easily in the main harness for the radio and the park light signal from the light that goes around the cig lighter.

Not sure about the orange wire though although u can join it with the yellow and put it on a switched source which does not cut when starting.

U will need a multimeter or a test light to verify...... other wise go to the professionals!!!

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
