hi guys

bit curious when i had my boost gauge fitted before i picked up the car (r33 GTST) i noticed that instead of running the vacuum hose up the pillar they decided to punch a nice hole through my firewall but what i was concerned about they have obviously used a drill but didn't know they destroyed something while making the hole. when i brought it up they said not to worry and it wont change anything, but surly it was there for a reason. its a small black box about 3cm by 5cm behind the right wheel arch in the engine bay, next to the steering collum. does it really mean bad things or not to worry?? and for the record "What is it"?

F**k that's dodgy. From memory the black box is for the standard boost gauge in the dash. Is that still working?

um itt doesnt go to the + side always in - but it moves

does it affect th performance in any way or does it just get a bad reading?

that's what the first mate said after the titanic hit the iceberg ^^^

Are the terminals intact? Nothing displaced?

I'd source another unit > ask them to pay for it incl instal (if they want to keep your business - which I'd be most averse to do).

BTW, this stuff always happens to people with your User Name :whoops:

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
