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...

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
