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.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
