Hey all !

Keep this short and sweet..

Looking 2c where you guys have put your boost gauge in your C34? Above the steering wheel column seems to be the go ..but don't wana block any off my gear lights because it's and auto trip , shift kit set up. :thumbsup:

Any one had any good ideas or have theres in a different spot that works well?

Thought of heaps of other spots but keen to see if you guys have the mounted them sum kind of crazy way or spot that's a little different! :whistling:

Bring on the photos :cheers:

Check out Mearcat's products. They've got a number of different guage holders/pods available, and about 3 of those are specifically for the Stagea. I bought one ages ago, and it sits in the little area where the clock is on top of the dash. Perfect placement because it blends right in, isn't a distraction, and looks like it was meant to be there.

At godzilla year I was thinking about doing the clock one!

The dash side vent had one there and sapol said it's a no no coz it's still "eye level" not under, same as pillar gauge spots and I will get defected for it!

This is where I stuck mine

FYI total PITA

Thief!!! That's how I got mine setup (execpt I don't have the JJR 3 gauge DIN Slot)....you even have the same head unit as me...lol

It's wasn't too much of a PITA for me when I installed them...But I'm going to replace my Autogauge set with some nice shiny Defi ones very soon

I did have a photo of it on SAU somewhere...I'll post them up when I find it at home (or take another photo)

I've got mine the other way round...headunit in the middle and the gauges in the bottom..

I wanna change it so the gauges are at the top, the climate control (damn those globes have blown again.....urgh) in the middle and the headunit down the bottom

Thats how I wanted it but I think we have a different metal brace to other ppl. Everything screws in the middle and locks into the little slots (red circles) but the climate control mounts further to the bottom than center (top two red circles).

Also the climate control is slightly wider at the front and only seems to fit where the brace is shallower (blue line)

If you find a way it fits without cutting and drilling I'd like to know how

I like the placement of the turbo timer (or is it a boost controller?)

nice and neat sitting next to the steering column

10 out of 10 for observation :yes:

It is actually a profec b boost controller which fits exactly into the hole for the switches. I moved them to the other side as there is an extra space for switches.

It is nice and out the way there and I dont need access to it to swop boost as the profec b has the option of a remote switch that can be fitted to the steering wheel (yellow button) I can change from hi to low boost without taking hands off the steering wheel . Best gadget on the car by far imho

The guages are electronic apexi ll with white dials . Oil temp & pressure, water temp . fuel pressure , EGT and boost . The guages have an adjustable warning feature which flashes and beep and a peak hold option. You can also set them for 30 second playback . Tried it once after a run up santapod strip - it looks really weird no engine and all the guages jumping around .

meercat guage holder is good, iirc nick has this aswell

my profec b sits niceley in my coin tray, i still think you should buy a factory centre console

Not sure what you mean ?

It is factory just trimmed to match the rest of the retrimmed interior - one bright silver bit looked shocking with everything else black .

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
