exhaust temp, washer fluid level, monster tacho.

In all seriousness think about what you are using the car for which vitals it's most imperative you keep an eye on and if you'll even have a chance to look at them any time other than when you're sitting at the maccas drive through.

Not point asking people on the net what gauges you should get for hektik pointz

Very true. I too am not a fan of pillar and dash gauges. I like the stock look. My R33 is a weekend car which I have my 2 month old bub in the back. So I certantly wont be doing any hektik drifting.

So far Im thinking boost and oil temp (as I have noticed after a short 5 minute drive and the engine is hot as)

Im deciding between water temp and oil pressure but I dont even know what the later is meant for? Can someone explain?

If you go to an EBC you will generally have a boost guage on them somewhere... If its working properly you shouldn't need a boost reading anyway....

If its just the temp you are concerned about get oil

And water temp guages but if it's getting hot forget spending money on a guage and take it to

A mechanic ;)

Another useless 2c post :D

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.

      When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
