water temp sensor, wiring and radiator hose $50 20% to SAU

I'll chuck in the old oil temp gauge, it is likely repairable.

Sorry blew my oil temp gauge on the weekend, so I have used my water temp gauge [they are the same gauge, only the sensors are different].

To the left of the dash cluster, on the dash and back off the edge by about 2.5 cm.

The rolled up lip actually mates up with the hump of the gauge cluster.

No, it is the finish. It is an imitation vinyl finish, sort of like on your dash, that dimpled type of texture. All you have to do is check yor mounting postion, cut the holes out for your gauges, and paint it the colour of your choice. A really simple job [i just did it with another one on my 'line].

You'll probably need a hole saw and a small grinding wheel to cut the holes out, and a can of vinyl spray paint. You may need either screws, double sided tape, or urethane [Wurths make a bloody good one that sets and holds well, used it heaps for veilside type kits].

trident - I am kinda keen on the gauge holder too - Can you email me pics of yours fitted too??

Thanks mate!

Oh, and why so much for a Series 2 ?

Christian

blx and prank, pics sent, knore, I could if your really keen, but you will loose resolution, that is why I'm only emailing the extra photo's, let me know what you want to do.

I've posted a pic of mine fitted [well will today].

I don't think it is, I think it will fit a SI, BUT I don't really know [maybe you can help here].

I'm in a town that has one skyline - mine, I can't check that sort of thing out.

I ordered it for a SII, and I know it fits a SII, so I stick to what I do know [which isn't much I gotta admit].

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
