I have just bought an Autometer Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite boost gauge Autometer gauge

I know where I need to hook up the vacuum line to the intake manifold, see attached pic.

My question is; How do I plug the vacuum line that comes with the autometer gauge into the where the stock boost line goes? The Autometer vacuum line is smaller thaan the stock vacuum line. I have an RS-4S Stagea so it has the factory triple gauge setup in the stereo surround.

Cheers,

Adam

either get a fitting that will downsize from your current vac hose, to smaller vac hose and connect to the intake manifold, or get a smaller piece of vac hose, slip it over the intake manifold nipple, then slip your bigger vac hose, over the top of that and clamp off.

otherwise you could just stick the bigger vac hose on there, and squash the guts out of it when you clamp it off...

I got aa kit from autobarn slacks creek today, should have it installed tuesday night, I have to work 2m nite at work so can't do the install then. Beers this arvo probably counts me out of doing anything install wise tonight lol.

I used a piece of 3mm.rubber tubbing(bosst presure isn't that much to snap it),just use about 50 mm. @ 20 goes on the nipple and insert the plastic line inside the rest (there are some pics. from when I installed my boost controller,they may help you in your install...) I'm a cheap ass ,I know ; but it worked for me...

    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going. 
    • New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions. 
    • I like your thinking! Looking forward to see how it turns out.
    • You've got yourself a good old game of have fun. That shit is annoying as hell to remove. Thankfully for you, yours is on metal, most of the stuff I take it off is plastic, so typically hear guns are out. I normally end up continually dragging my thumb with pressure over it to get it to peel up. Eucalyptus oil then works well for getting residue and last remnants off.   Edit: plastic scraper might be worth while too. One that'll dig into the foam tape, but not scratch the paint.
    • So I ride and race motorcycles for fun and have always used a van to transport my track weapons. Figured towing a racebike with a skyline would be different and if done right could - "look fully sik" or quite cool for us grown ups lol. Pic of yours truly on two wheels I also have a trailer already kitted out to transport my bikes ...and I have a spare set of rims that match the car that I was going to rebarrel to get deeper dish at some stage but they have just been gathering dust. Sooooooo it is only logical.... Stay tuned !!
