Hey Guys,

I am wanting to know if I should replace my cluster with individual guages or get a Nismo dash instead?

All I want is guages to be accurate so I know exactly what is going on in the enginebay and don't want to add heaps of extra guages if I don't have to.

Cheers

Troy

I've had a standard dash and now a NISMO LCD dash in my 33, and while the tacho is accurate, the speedo is slightly out (I think that might be the wheels I'm running tho, or possibly another factor), the fuel gauge is good enough, and the water temp gauge is not accurate at all. I love my GReddy water temp gauge, its sooo handy and you dont realise how inaccurate the factory gauge is until you have an aftermarket one.

It also saved my motor yesterday when I popped a coolant bypass hose. Noticed it was running hotter then normal and was able to pull over and shut it off before I did any damage. The stock gauge hadnt even moved :D

Hope that helps! Thats my personal experience anyway

keep the standard dash dude. no point upgrading.

get an oil temp and oil pressure guage and u should be sweet.

if u have an aftermarket ecu put the hand controller where u can see it and it will tell u everything u need to know

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
