Hey guys just after some ideas on where to mount some gauges in my 33, as I want to keep my stock ones and not keen on putting them in the dash, nor pillar mounting as it would be an easy defect. So just wondering what ideas people have and what others have done. Oh and really just after a boost and oil pressure gauge don't want a million in there lol any feed back appreciated

Cheers Jarad

Here's some pics of my recent gauge install.

Keep in mind these are 60mm gauges, so if you plan on doing the same thing, your gauges may not cover the grill and the hole -- see below.

Also keep in mind that my current dash fascia is pretty crappy, so i wasn't too bothered about hacking it up and having a go. Same story for the cluster.

These are the only pics i have on hand of what was there before,, that red thing is a fancy switch (that fires missiles) and beside it is a grill,, behind the grill is the air intake temp sensor for the climate control.

I'm more than happy to adjust the air con manually so it didn't bother me losing that. Its actually still connected, just doesn't suck the air through the grill anymore, its just tucked in behind the gauge.

This one is installed inside the cluster, It covers the factory oil pressure gauge perfectly. All i had to do was remove the needle from the factory gauge so the new one would fit over the top.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
