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!!!

    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
