Hey I'm new to te forum and I've just bought a n/a r34 and in the middle of the dash there is just like a storage thing there. Now I've done some research about sometimes there is a pop up tv or gauges or something like that there. Mine has nothing exept some cabling which makes me think that maybe there was something there before I would really like anyone's advice on where or how I can get some gauges that fit right in there or if anyone is selling. There are a few turbo ones but I don't want a boost gauge when I dont have a turbo. So something like volts. Oil press, and water temp.

Thanks.

your best bet is to go down to your local wreckers and pick up a second hand triple gauge cluster or alternativly you can buy a carbon one on ebay. then just remove the old gauges ( its all one piece) buy the 3 gauges you want to put in ( i think its 52mm off the top of my head) and wire them all up :) thats the basic explanation for you. if you need anymore help just ask.

There wouldn't have been anything there before, GT's and GTT's just share the same dash so it's all there if you do want to install the holder. I did it in mine, very easy. There's a how-to thread on here somewhere with pictures showing you where to cut the dash.

if its just for looks get a GTT one might need to wait but they occasionally pop-up on ebay or the forsale section. Might end up costing a bit. If your not in it for the looks then i suggest google ECUtalk they have the small LCD's about $250 which will give you live reading on pretty much all your main sensors, ECUtalk consult cable for $80 just plug in laptop and away you go. Cheapest option would be an Ebay consult cable from china, does the job.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
