Jasons pics give a fair idea as to how they look however as mentioned in real life they are so much better!!! So much so that on valentines night i was to busy staring at the dash being lit up that cops had their sirens on following me, i got booked doing 94 km/h in 70 zone, my fault really but i was to busy concentrating lookin at my new dash, I was mesmerised like i was a mosquito flying into one of those elctric zappers! so $150 and 3 points later i still have my nice mesmerising glowy dash :-)

Kyles good point!! Now for me to scrub Troy off my IOU list i will have to meet you guys at the gym this sunday and i will give him a good training session.... $10 says he won't show.. :-) ehehe!!

Ummmm well Ummmm yes...... i'm not normally a bad driver or a hoon as you know, but was in back streets 70 zone on the way to mums in 5th gear and was showing my new lady friend the dials not realising how fast then all of a sudden *Siren* i pulled off the road so my car was 3 quarts off the road and then over the loud speaker 'GET YOUR CAR OFF THE ROAD' I felt like a full on crim!! so yeah in the end 3 points and $150... spewing huh!

I'm just glad i didn't get yellow sticker, i have to learn to try and think of positive things, they popped my bonnet and went over my car, they saw my air filter and got a bit upset but i apologised and said would get permit, they were agrresive to start with but i guess if your nice enough and apologise and be polite then they calm down, there are some police that no matter what you say or do they are mean however these guys were pretty good in the end, it could have been a lot worse than it was so for what i got instead of what i could have had it was ok.

bl on the fine dood...

i dont have many points left :) i lost 6 in 1 weekend... and i only had nine before that...so do the math :D

its crap but thats life....i didnt buy my car to drive like a nanna....but i dont speed anymore...

oi jase, whats the plan this sat? go to evo r? what time etc etc? address? thanks mate... who else it gonna be there...? zanda>?

fane: just waiting on the last 3 sets to arrive .. I've just spoken with the guy, and they *SHOULD* be here this week

I will call him tomorrow and Friday and confirm when they've arrived.

Assuming they do arrive, it is easier for him if we get there earlier, so I was hoping we could get there at 9ish on Saturday ..

I'll post more as soon as I know :D

at this stage the weather this weekend looks like a pearler.

I will probably put mine in when they get here - or on saturday morning....

how long did it take everyone else? if I leave 2 hours is that realistic? never pulled the cluster, but I've pulled the dash surround hundreds of times.

The cluster itself comes out after the dash in about 4 mins. 3 plugs at the back and 4 screws from recollection.

That can them be taken quickly inside from the heat :D

You can get to the dials then sevles in about 2 mins. But the placing of the white bits is... "fiddly" (F**king things)

oh..as a word of advice the speedo dial must be completly removed from the house (3 screws behind it) for the boost gauge white bit to go in)

And the tach/temp/fuel is the hardest.

Have fun!!

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
