Check out Mearcat (he's on the forums): He makes some fantastic guage pods specifically for C34 Stageas: I use both pods: a single guage on the dash near the a-pillar, and a double guage pod that replaces the factory clock: they are very well made, and look great: very neat!

I'll post pics tomorrow...

hey guys after input on where to put sum gauges in my stag pictures would be good

I put in a single Din head unit and mounted three gauges in the space, also have my boost gauge in the A/C vent in dash on D/S.

I have my boost gauge on the dash next to the a pillar, hasn't caused me any problems yet. Only stuck there with a bit of double sided tape as well and there haven't been any holes drilled, so it's easy to change its location if I have to.

Can sort of see it in this pic

Thats cool in the centre vent. Think I will do the 25G that way. Wont need a boost until son gets a full licence, by then we will have all the goodies required.

Yes please. I have my boost guage in the RH centre vent but don't really want to lose the whole vent. I would like oil pressure and temp as well and poss water temp (stock one is not very accurate).

I've only got a single-DIN stereo now, so I mounted Exhaust Temp, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure between the stereo and the HVAC controls (I managed to get an off-cut of 1cm thick thermo-plastic and cut the holes with a hole-saw), and Boost in a single Mearcat clock-replacement pod.

I installed an Innovative Motorsports wideband O2 sensor last week. Didn't want to drill holes in the dash and not sure how permanent it will be, so I ziptied it to the vent under the windscreen. Looks fine, doesn't get in the way and fairly stable. The clamp that comes with it is way too tall and chunky.

Hmmm JDMSprit's and Goldzilla's gauges look awesome :)

Sorry: Stag went to the workshop again, as I managed to collect my new daily: next week I'll have pics of the full Mearcat setup: They look great in the "flesh"- sit nicely, and require no holes to be drilled.

I was rather hesitant doing what I did. I had them double sided taped there for a while but the heat kept making the tape let go and I got rather annoyed so I took my time cutting the holes as flush as possible and Sikaflex'd them from the underside. As a plus it made the cups sit a good 4-5mm lower as the column cover is a good 2.5mm thick. I do plan on picking up a spare cover for what ever reason I feel like selling the car or removing the gauges in future. :)

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
