3 Gauge Cluster Lighting

Hey all

I recently took off my 3 gauge cluster while I was working on my Air Con unit in my R34 GTT, and when I put everything back together, none of the lights caome on in the cluster. After a while, the middle one (oil pressure) came alight, then after another while the battery one came on as well. However since then, the light behind the boost gauge has never come online again. Any idea why this might be happening?

Cheers.

Slightly off topic...

My Boost Gauge doesn't work, The reading just sits at the bottom of the dial and never moves! Anyone else experience anything like this?

sounds like there's a leak in the vaccum hose or it may have come off altogether at either end, fairly common problem just look along the hose that connects to the guage.

If there's pressure in the hose but leaking somewhere the needle *should* still move around a bit.

When I had my Gtt there was a leak in the hose near where the hose connects to the firewall

Did the light bulb somehow became loose? Maybe make sure all the bulbs are screwed on?

Checked them, still no luck.

Could also be a broken boost sensor (top-left corner in your bay), you can try and solder it up on the inside electronics. Plenty of topics on SAU for that one.

I have a similar prob with my volts gauge, it's currently really dull. Have fiddled around with it but no luck...

My boost gauge was really temperatmental when I got my car, would work for a little bit after starting the car then stop. I pulled the sender apart and sprayed it with contact spray, worked perfectly since.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
