Heya All,

OK I have tried the for sale section and am having no luck so thought i would try so place a bit more locally.

As I am buying the blue lit up dash in the group buy i was wondering if anyone has a 60mm boost gauge that also lights up blue that they might be selling so it can match my new dash! (hey i have to have at least one piece of rice on my car! :-) ) so if you are or know anywhere that has got some nice cheap 60mm boost gauges lying around please let me know :-)

Thanks All!

Dan

I may have some of the little blue condom things. If I do you can have 'em.

Dan, I've got the exact same "rice" that you talk about. Cept I used an HKS Direct Bright 60mm boost gauge to match my dash and can tell you now, the HKS meter is a lot brighter and bluer than my dash on full glow and full blue setting. Would be hard to match perfectly but I love my HKS gauge all the same. You'll be surprised what it costs to get brand new....I got for about $250 with pillar holder brand new from greenline....not that expensive in my opinion....it's mechanical of course....just more food for thought....

super cheap sell boost guages, picked one up for my skyline cheap there

80$ i think is what it cost me

just white face guage, cup holder,

when you wire it in , you can press a little button that makes it change 1 of 10 colors , red, white , blue , light blue, good guage

did the job, but wasnt lighthouse bright ,t he light was in the lower left hand corner of the screen

you can always print out the apexi logo color it in red, and paste it on the guage

Sweeeeet! Awesome feedback!

Which HKS meter is it? I already have an A pilar for it to go into.

Hippy - which Apexi boost gauge is it? Trying to keep around the $100 mark (still paying off a $7000 engine rebuild!!!) can prob go a little bit higher for apexi boost gauge

MarkR33 - your a champ will also check it out over the weekend...that sounds very good!

Any of the auto meter spitfire whatever brand guage with the condoms just look week when compared with the ID or EL type jap brands, i really dont care about looks but when going for guages the jap brands are much more easier to read at night

Dan - i got my Apexi gauge brand new for abt AUD150... if ure not in a hurry, i'll be back in Perth on the 15th so i could look for something for u here if u want :)

im in Msia at the moment and came across 2 used Defi meters (white face - boost & ex temp) with controller for just over AUD200 hahah helps that the current exchange rate is 3 to 1 or something like that

go to motorquipe or repco they have the autometer look alike gauges that light up 7 colours or you can get the el face blue one

i used to have a 52mm one but you can get 60mm

yep what rspct said , same guage i was talking about looks good, if you ever sell your car you wont get that much more with brand name guages, sell it to some young punk dazzle him with some , WHOOSH and some PSSSHHT and he will forget the brand of your guages

give him some stickers with it aswell, like the ones you see on the front of 86 pulsars like NISMO / Tuned by HKS , give him some of those and youll get your moneys worth :)

thats if your only selling your car :) sorry to ramble

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
