I had a company in the US called SpeedHut custom make me some gauges, they came out great, except for one thing. I requested that the custom GTR logo be put on the tach ONLY. This is a $25 option per gauge, and I have my invoice, I only paid once. So they made a mistake and put them on ALL of the gauges.

The tach, speedo, and boost gauge are all 80mm gauges. The smaller gauges are 52mm.

Should I send them back and get new ones the way I ordered? Or should I keep them? I'm on the fence, I like both ways, but some friends have told me it's "GTR overkill" and others have told me they really like it.

Opinions? I added a poll just to see what the overall thoughts are. Thanks!

not unless its genuine, its like having a 50" tv plasma and the badge "Sony" has been stuck on by kmart as a sticker

I disagree.. I would put that ^^ in similar to putting a chev badge on a holden.. But in this circumstance they are going into a GTR.. So they are for the car..

In terms of the logos.. depends what you think.. Alot of people arent going to notice all the logos as being overkill IMO.. When you focus on the guages by themselves like that in the box.. yeah can look like your trying to GTR it up on everything.. But if you didnt have it anywhere else in the car then it will look good i think.. But if you arent happy with the look, talk to them..

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
