Bought a boost gauge to replace the shitty apexi ripoff i've been borrowing of my mate

Hopefully it still lights up

Also, anyone have any idea what the dial does? I can push it in and twist it, but nothing happens :wacko:

Could be a reset for a peak hold function?

This was found on driftworks -

Just for anyone who wants to know you push it in, turn it 90degrees and let it go. It should kinda click into place and not come back out fully. Then when you drive on full boost it sticks on the highest boost. The button not coming out fully seems to hold some of the pressure in the gauge to keep the needle at the peak boost.

Maybe, I guess I'll find out when I put it in :-)

thats the same brake up grade i have, let me know how the varex goes ?

Did you use the r32 gtr calipers as well as the 32 rotors or did you use the stagea disks. If you used the 32 rotors did you encounter any issues (besides mounting hole size diferences)

. Rotors remained the same they put spacers on due to the rims

I've got gtr rotors. 296x32.

Mounting holes, dust covers and a slight shave off the alloy hub has them fitting. Just need a couple mm clearance on the hub, and nothing structural.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
