Almost. The standard gauge is mmhg or millimetres of mercury. 7 on the gauge (which is 700) equals 13.5 psi

ok well explain why on my old gauge all it had was -1, 0 , and +1 and in the middle of the gauge it says X100KPA

have a look for your self .

that guage doesnt look stock / OEM

it loooks like a cheap knock off

ive never seen a guage show +1 to -1 KPA like that

are you sure its stock ?

yes its stock

my mate has an r34 and guess what its the same !!!!

maybe there different in the r33 (whitch you own NOT AN R34)

go onto ebay and type in r34 stock gauges and see what they are or better yet ask someone else on here who actualy has an r34 and see what they say !!!!.

mine has -1 to 1 in kg/square cm, which is pretty close to one atmosphere, which is 14.7psi. So when mine shows about 0.8 max boost, thats something like 12psi. Assuming its accurate.

Mine are pretty much the same as the pic above. They have a dark background tho, but maybe thats just the flash. It looks pretty similar in symbols etc to the dash

My R34 boost gauge is just like that, not like the one in the picture. Contrary to popular opinion, my one is also very accurate.

I have tested it against my PFC boost controller output on the hand controller, and on another mechanical gauge and they all read the same.

It is however very unreliable! It only works about 10% of the time!

yeah i thing the whit backgroung is because its a series 2 my mates is a darker background as well , but i was trying to point out to the know all its not a cheap ripoff its just that its in kpa not mmhg.

there must have been a change between the r33 and r34

yeah i was told its more acurate to put in psi because its easyer to get a psi reading instead of the conversions and guess work (as in if its .7 .8 or .9 kpa)

?!

Mines the same also, dark face, -1 to +1 and i have an 02 model. And it's accurate. Although it's been replaced by the nismo triple gauge cluster now, as it didn't read high enough.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
