Actually when I got my car it did not have the ashtray, it was missing so my plan was to get some fibreglass and mask the entire front area and then trim the area to fit the AEM gauge and then filler it a little and rub it down and prime and paint. It came out alright I guess but now I have the entire V-Spec GTR setup with the ashtray so I removed it all. As for the gauges I am removing them to replace with a GTR V-Spec MFD setup some time this year. These gauges will go in my S14.5 setup. I also have the twin defi setup on the pillar as well.

I have since removed the LEDs from the A/C as it was a bit to much green as you can see :P.

What brand pod section are you using on the A-pillar? Most look like arse but that looks ok. I have to work out how to get my 5 Defi's into my car (3 centre pods, and 2 elsewhere) but just gotta suss options.

Did any R34s come with a factory A pillar mounted guage like some S15s did ???

Why yes, yes I do.

Oh look, it comes under definition three.

Definition: 1. made to order: made or built to order

2. making goods to order: making, building, or selling goods to order

a custom tailor

3. changed to suit better: altered in order to fit somebody's requirements better

Probably didn't need the PM OKBANANA, I just don't really see changing gauges in a hole made for a gauge to be 'custom'.

Especially after I did this myself...

There's a new mounting bracket there since that picture, and I'm going to make a front facia for it to look nice but can't decide between carbon fibre or stainless steel...

I'll be finishing that off when it comes back from the shop, they just had to be installed and wired before the work started...

As far as I can remember I think Greddy has a direct pod for the R34.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.

      Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.

      Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
