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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
