Got the brakes machined today.......... feels so much better!!!

also its first oil and filter change and done the sparkies just for good measure.

only thing im waiting for now is my new rocker cover gasket cos its leaking like a sieve,

otherwise its all good :D

came across this and was wondering if anyone knew any more info on finding a guage holder that mounts in that exact possition where the TV unit goes...........

was hoping to hold 3X 2" 1/16 guages............

cheers :)

That's got to be custom.

I reckon you could roll a piece of sheet metal to fit there and mould some gauge cups in fairly easily.

start searching around the G35 forums.......are the defi gauges? If so there website my have that mount to suit.

some good ideas there but still no closer unless i make my own i guess.................

ok im going to build myself a custom guage holder to fit 3 guages, ive already got boost and am wondering what the other 2 should be......

im thinking oil pressure and .................???..................... (water temp is already on the standard cluster so not sure if i really need that one)

other choices are oil temp, trans temp and air/fuel ratio..................... (have i missed any?)

or if the others arent to important i'll just make a 2 guage holder instead!!!

EGT and Trans temp would be my choices along with Boost.

where are you gonna put it. i might be interested in a 2 gauge holder with some$$ wanna make mine abit neater

yeah oil temp and trans would be alright.

Exhaust Gas Temp................. why do u say that ?

i've pulled out the box where the tv goes seeing as i dont have one.

will be sorta like this..........

EGT is very useful for a number of reasons.

1) In general driving you start to see how the ECU manages fuel and helps understand the whole car. ie, on the open road car leans right out and EGT is up around 600-700 degrees.

2) If you start (I think you already have) moding the car and the various components you can see the direct change you have made and in particular the change it makes to fueling which is very important to avoid leaning the motor.

I am sure there is more than this ... :)

How does EGT compare to AFR? reading wise...is one more accurate than the other?

I would think the AFR is a lot more accurate and if the device measuring is accurate enough will give you a much better result but I would imagine a very different cost.

Probably better than the EGT is the Wide band O2 sensor. Fester and more accurate and able to use for on road tuning.

yep make me one.

my TV is out of order as my emanage took over the dvd players spot.

pending price obviously

Myself and a panel beater mate are gonna try and put these into production, i'll make both dual and tripple guage holders............. fingers crossed!!!

    • 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?
