some guys are selling cheap timers in the For Sale Accessories or Business sections on these forums.. Apexi pen timers etc.

For example http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=29089

not sure how his prices compare, but there isnt much variation.

as for shops i guess u could try xspeed etc

Motorquipe at whitfords city (NOR) has just opened and when i had a look the other day, i noticed they had some very good opening prices on gauges and the apexi TT, brand new was on special for $159. Thats pretty good, from what i've seen...

they have a medium sized range of autometer gauges and stuff like that, again for pretty good prices. Maybe have a look up there, if its not a huge drive...

go check out www.importscene.com.au

Gregg (managing director) is an excellent bloke, i think he is actually on holidays for a little while though, but if your willing to wait maybe a couple of weeks, drop him and email and tell him MirKz sent you and told him to give u a good deal. (he should knock some $$ off for ya).

get a pivot baby timer for sure.

I got one and pulled the electronics out of it and set it all up behind my clock so that the clock face is now that of the timer and the buttons on the clock mimic that of the timer. ie. power is now reset button etc... looks acool at night too and it hides it out of sight. if you need a hand with it let me know and i can help.

pivot timers have red numbers... not that bad really... breaks up all the bloody blue on the dash.

putting it behind the clock is not so hard as it is figity :)

you will have to pull apart the clock and make a square hole in the centre of the clocks PCB (printed circuit board). you wil also need to make sure that all tracks are cut which link up all the common rails/tracks on the clock pcb (easier said than done)

once that is done...

to mimic the clock buttons to do what the power, seconds and minutes buttons will do, you will need to solder link wires between the buttons on the clock PCB to the buttons on the timer PCB... once again, easier done that said.

Thats about it! if you have done this correct all you will have to do if put the clock back tp together, with a hole in the back of the black clock case, so that the timer pcb will slot into the whole clock case and put back into the dash as removed.

If you have cut the holes in the clock PCB and clock casing tight enough the timer PCB will hold itself in tight enough, if not you will probably have to affix it to the case do that it doesn't fall out when you break hard ;)

i will post pics toght if i can, otherwise let me know if you are interested and i cann aid you in the creating from hell :)

I'm definately interested in giving it a go, shame the colour is red, was hoping for a bright blue ...

I just have to wait till I get new bankcards (bastards stole my wallet) before I buy anything.

Will let you know closer to when I get it :(

What suburb are you in?

yeah no worries,

just let me know when you want to do it... i would say for you to get it all installed (harness and all) and when that is done you can bring your clock and timer over and i can make the mod for you... should only take about 1 hour. i live in winthrop

not too sure but i know that you timer should have about 5 or 6 wires (correct me if im wrong) like ign, constant power, ground, acc, and hand-brake coming out of the back of the timer. if you can hook those up and leave enough so that you can cut the wires and re-solder them back again, you should be right. all i will need is the timer itself and the clock.

when i said harness i really ment the wires that come out of the timer. i dont think that i had a terminal block or anything with mine.

hope that helps

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      By Tekitsune · Posted

      Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha

      I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
