ATTENTION: All those buying WHITE FACE DASH GAUGES or just looking for a boost gauge


Recommended Posts

If like Dan you are also looking for EL boost gauges that are affordable. Then Aspec in Perth can do them for $75

Unfortunately they are 52mm but he does have nifty simple carbon fibre looking gauge cups that can be screwed to a pillar etc for $16

Pics will be up this evening or the gauge (which has a memory recall funtion as well)

oh and the gauge also can change 7 colours or so but not backlit, el light up

nice

so yeah obviously if a few are interested i can try and get a better price. or something

hang tight for pics.

any questions post up...so I can ask

RiaZ

nup dude you are in no luck at all dan,

its a 52mm gauge that has a gauge cup that it fits into and mounts separately onto the pillar

i will c if he can order a 60mm one for you specially so it will fit.

strich

i can get the cup and the gauge for $65 for SAU guys, cos most peeps that buy stuff from him are N/A so they buy vacuum gauges which means boost gauges will just sit there.

the gauges are not EL

they are LED

8 or 9 colours

3 blues, purple, yellow, red, green, white (and something else)

the baby blue colour with the white face gauge looks just like the el blue colour

so will still fit in with the theme

Can get the gauge for $50 and the cup/mount thing for $15

mount looks like this http://www.pbase.com/image/24383927 or the a pillar pic here if the first link doesnt work http://www.pbase.com/13_devil/my_skyline

note: this is not the same gauge

the mount has a carbon fibre look to it

anyone interested pm me please

apart from strich, dude for you i need to know when you want one

I will take pics of the colours tonight as Zanda will be getting his set tonight so I will be able to get pics.

Heya Riaz,

If you could see what special price they can do me for a 60mm one would be sweeeet!! am hoping to get the boost gauge and dials in on the same day... they say a change is as good as a holiday :-)

EVERYONE: okay sorry fellas no pics, frankie left early yesterday and i got there to a dark closed shop

today though hehe

LAGWAGON:umm lagwagon if the gauge you are thinking of is swoosh brand then fiar enuff dude....i ran a swoosh gauge in my line for all the time i had it and it never skipped a beat. also dude they aren't the EL Autogage brand which i think is the one you are thinking of.

RC: the pod screws into wherever you want to screw it dude you can make it stand up etc on the sterring wheel surround if you want. I screwed it above the existing tweeter spot i think, i cant remember it was slightly rushed. cos i was sick of holding it up while trying to mark a spot, i should have taken the base off and then nicely marked it, but smeh

25GTT: I am going there around 10 so I will put the hard word on him to get you prices. fo shizzle!!

Heya Riaz any luck with the 60mm boost gauge?
yes and no dude

yes i managed to find out and no they don't make a 60mm, but he is checking for what else he can find etc, shant be too long i gotta pop in there today

here is some pics though

Zanda will prolly provide some feedback as he has installed it into his car.

yeah, gauge looks pimp...albeit very very bright.

reads about 10% high by my estimations.... my previous one (VDO - which, incidentally lagwagon also wrote off) was less responsive but probably more accurate. both the vdo and the dyno at SST read 9 psi, whereas this one reads about ten....

...heck, for what I payed for it I'm not too fussed... down the track I'll get a spitfire one or something, but this is fine for the current application. still better that it's overconservative than underconservative...

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
