Yo

So just been speaking with Justjap about getting one of their gauge sets.

Decided on the one with the A/F Ratio, Water temp and oil temp.

After a few emails with JustJap they said to me I will need a shadow oil temp sensor and also the shadow water temp sender adaptor.

They took about a week to reply and while I wait for their reply again about what these are and why they are needed I thought I might ask you guys.

Why and what oil temp sensor would I need and sender adaptor.

When I searched it didn't come up with just one for me to pick.

Thanks in advance

I have several gauges in my car. Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, Water Temp. I got some off ebay, and they came with all the sensors required, the oil ones plugged into a sandwich plate that came on my car when I bought it (I was replacing some tired/broken gauges) and the water temp sensor had just been put into a hard pipe. What does get sold is a metal sensor screw in thing tht can be put into your radiator hosing somewhere, so I'm guessing that the gauges just don't come with all that stuff, and you'll need to buy some of it extra.

Sounds like a miswording man, the Shadow Pro gauges come with all the sensors. I've got them in my car. What you need is a water sensor adapter to go in your radiator hose:

And a sandwich plate to screw on between your block and your oil filter:

I have glowshift oil and water temp gauges, just the digital readout, they are a super small unit fit anywhere easily and reasonably priced. I went autometer for oil pressure for the reliability factor.. But its too dear to buy them all in autometer!

Mate I bought gauges off here http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/Gauges-/33672/i.html?_catref=1&_dmpt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&_fln=1&_ipg=&_ssn=carlab-design-tuning&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282, don't need to spend a fortune, and they were easy to deal with.

Okay so I just spoke to them and they said I needed that radiator part and the sandwich plate.

Question now am I making a mistake by getting the A/F gauge is it not going to work correctly?

As john said its pretty cheap but that doesnt always mean its not good.

Can someone explain for me before I go out and buy this pack

Care to elaborate??

Such as one that is affordable

Narrowbands are useless junk man, all they tell you is if your O2 sensor is working. They operate on a 0-1v range, so they either read very rich, very lean, or stoich when you are in closed loop, nothing else.

If you're going to get one, get a proper wideband which operates on a 0-5v range. But it's not really necessary. The AEM Uego kit is about $200 delivered depending on the strength of the Aussie dollar, and that's about the cheapest. Unless you're hitting the track or planning on doing your own tuning, I would spend the money elsewhere.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
