looks good man, trying to get the motivation to do mine. were they much of a pain to fit

Mate it was very simple to do. All you need to do is remove the stock gauges (which is a single unit) and mount the new ones in its place. The ones I got are 52mm and fit in really easily behind the stock plastic window. All I needed to use was a very small amount of 3M double sided tape to keep them in place. It was my first attempt and only took me around 1/2 hr to complete (not hooked up yet tho). The boost gauge mount is off Ebay, $65 from WA.

I'm with you there mate, but I'm not sure how accurate the standard sensors are? I know Nismo use to make replacement gauges that just pluged straight in, maybe you could find a set of those?... The boost gauge was piss easy, I just put the T piece on the vacume hose between the BOV and the intake plenum. The Oil pressure and Oil temp should be easy enough using a sandwich plate. A mate of mine is a auto electrician so I'll get him to hook up the wiring and volt gauge.

Connecting them up is easy as pie, guys. Took me about 45 minutes to do all 5 of mine (boost, water temp, oil temp, oil pressure, wideband AFR), and I'm OCD when it comes to neat wiring so I took extra time making it all perfect.

How'd you hook it up mate? I've heard of people using the cigarette lighter to cut into but I only want my gauges to light up when the lights are turned on. When I pulled off the steering wheel trim to take a look at the wiring I had no idea what I was looking at lol :wacko:

If you want to do it simply, tap into the wire going to the light around the cigarette lighter. That's better than splicing the cigarette lighter direct anyway, as it can overload if you use a GPS or phone charger or anything like that and blow fuses.

I used to have mine like that, but have since redone them to be tapped into the headlight switch wire. Requires knowledge of a multimeter.

      R35 GT-R production ends after 18 years

      By Rezz · Posted

      Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By MBS206 · Posted

      21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.

      Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
