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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
