yeah they fit.. some put them on the outside.. others put them on the inside.. the inside i think looks really good... just need some modification on the back housing.. i turned some up[ due to being a fitter and turner and had access to the machines.. if not others have used silicon, etc to hold them in place..

Don't use the housing that the factory gauges are screwed in to.. you'll need some mods definately.. but the face of the gauge sits nicely behind the cluster surround.. but will definately fit there..

I don't know how any gauge 52mm or 60mm will go into the cluster without some form of mod.. you seem to be good at fiberglass/carbon fibre so shouldnt be a drama making something up.. it's going to require just as much mod to put them in the GTR bezel.. It is entirely up to you though..

I couldnt find the pic of 60mm gauges in behind the cluster but here is a thread that i think the gauges are 60mm.. you can see by the video that the border of the gauge is missing. So the face sits perfectly in the holes.

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
