I finally decided to make a gauge pod for myself

I have a mold for these now and i was trying to gauge if there would be interest in these

I would be looking at selling them for $60

Would anyone be willing?

Here are a few photos of it just in place in my car

excuse the poor quality pics i only had my camera phone handy

I tried one a while a go and i didn't have any luck with it as it hit the crash pad

hence why i made one although i could be wrong

I was going to paint mine in acrylic once i have the time to get it colour matched

Read up somewhere that a guy used the R33 gts-t one on his Series II and it fitted almost fine just one of the sides was a bit short but it still fit fine. Back a few years ago when i was in crash repairs we would use this stuff to paint bumpers called texture coat it gives the same sort of rough peely texture finish at the oem trim...

Acrylic doesn't seem like a bad option but not sure how it would go against the damaging UV rays on plastic.

Well at least i have one now made specifically for the stag :thumbsup:

Cool i might give that texture coat a go.

the acrylic should stand up to ultraviolet it's going to be painted fiberglass anywho i think it should work fine

In case anyone wants to see the end result. Picked this up from Peter yesterday along with my Sub Enclosure, will post a pic of that on the Enclosure thread. Very happy with end result, Peter does great work!

well i do have them for sale at the moment for $60

although if a GB of 5 could be done i could drop the pricing from $60 per to $50 per pod

If anyone wants one just pm me and i'll give you my details

It really does sit quite a lot lower than where it was, It's virtually the same level as the top of the heater grill. You can barely see it from the side as well.

Will snap some more photo's throughout the week if people want to see what it looks like from different angles.

Cheers

    • 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.  
    • 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.
