Hey guys and girls,

I've got an Apexi boost gauge that came out of an R32 GTR for sale. It seems the previous owner super glued the gauge bracket to the steering column surround so I'm going to include that too. Upon purchase you can also have the t-piece and a few lengths of vacuum hose I won't be needing anymore

Item located in Victoria (Knoxfield area), inspections welcome and the gauge works perfectly

Asking price for everything is $150

Please contact me via comment within this thread or via PM and I'll get back to you ASAP,

Cheers,

Sean

hey Sean,

is the gauge still up for sale?

If so send me your mobile number and i'll give you a call about it.

Cheers,

Marshall

It sure is mate, I'll PM you my number :(

Sean

I cant seem to see any plug/s for illumination :)

Hey bud,

Sorry, I'm not the best with a camera :D, I'm 99% sure there is a small white plug just below where the vacuum line goes into the back of the gauge which I can only assume does the illumination (I'll check for you when I get home)

However I never actually had the power cable that connected to this gauge (it came with the car), this would have to be sourced from a wreckers or something like that

Cheers,

Sean

Hey Sean,

Thanks for the reply mate, well if there is, it will only be a standard 12V electrical mini plug, anywhere like jaycar or a comp shop will have them, just if it helps your sale.

Mate im interested, but I dont want to offend by low balling you, could you PM me with postage to Geelong?

Thanks Bud

Bri.

Hi Bri & Marshall,

As requested I've taken a pic of plug at the back of the boost gauge (sorry for the rough image, just using my mobile phone....camera has gone walk'abouts lol)

If you can't make it out in the pic, the plug at the back has three small pins, the plug itself is very small, around half the size of my pinky fingernail (hope that clarifies what kind of plug it is :down:)

Bri,

Sorry for not getting a PM to you today, run off my feet at work, however I had a chat with Marshall on the phone (on the train home a few minutes ago) and I've agreed to drop the price to $125 (that'll be the lowest I go). If you want everything posted out to Geelong, (according to Australia post website) it'll be around $6 for normal post and around $10 if you want express with a tracking number (however you'll probably get it within 2 business days my guess so it's probably not worth going the latter)

Now I can't "guarantee" the light will work on the gauge because the previous driver didn't hook up the power but I can only assume it'll work

Anyway, since both of you guys are pretty keen on this gauge and I don't want to make it unfair, whoever posts first back on the thread with "I'll buy it" gets the item......unless you guys want to meet up and have a game of paper, scissor, rock? :D

Cheers,

Sean

Hey mate,

Yep, $100 will be fine :thumbsup:

Probably better off meeting up in the city if that's okay as I work there 9-5 but I could stay back a bit later and meet up somewhere if that's preferable

I'll PM you my mobile phone number and we can work something out

Cheers,

Sean

I had to recalibrate the gauge, as it was -0.2 off. Other than that no troubles, managed to cut off the mount from the column, you can have the steering cover back if you want? :laugh:

Either going to order a wiring harness from Apexi, or wait til my tools come then I can just solder some wires straight to the board.

Left a TR for you.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
