PLanning to buy and install a boost gauge for the car...saw this and thought it might be a good setup:

it should fit our car right? the dash is pretty much identical to a G35/V35 right?

I just hope it doesn't obstruct the tacho and speedo too much...

Also, what brand Boost gauge do you guys recommend? I'm thinking of going AEM Analog...

I already have the AFR gauge on the pillar. with this I'd have both boost and AFR on the dash. Unless I mount the boost on the pillar as well. ATI makes dual/tripple A Pillar gauge holders for G35s but alas they're on the wrong side for us...

Or I could just get an informeter :/

ironpaw.... the picture in the first link shows the ignition barrel on the left - when it should be on the right.... so im assuming the picture is upside down, making the gauges mount from underneath?

Well thought I would throw this one into the mix

NICE! But why so expensive?

Why just informeter? Have you looked at HKS CAMP2, or you could try an OB Link: http://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/products/electronics/monitor/ob-link/index.html

Don't you have an Android tablet in your car? If OB Link will give you all of that without secondary probes like the Informeter it might be worthwhile.

I haven't looked at the HKS Stuff...thought that stuff was good if you had the FCON (which I dont..)...

I'll have a look at the OB Link thing but I thought no OB adaptor's been known to communicate with our cars apart from informeter and CAMP2?

@ DeepDish - you got a point...haha. I just thought the wiper stalk and the barrel were the same size...doh...

Had a look at the OB-Link - I'm sold...$200 delivered isn't bad at all.

Wait a minute...I can't find boost on the options to display...LOL defeats the purpose...still I might get it anyway...

Yeah OB-Link lists compatibility with NM35s, so should be ok. I'm curious how much data you get.

CAMP2 works with or without F-con. However you can get extra senders for CAMP2, but it seems like a better idea to wire those probes into the F-con then connect the F-con to CAMP2. One set of senders for both.

By the time you price up all the senders for the Informeter it's pretty expensive. I wanted a solution that would be most cost effective and useful.

True but look at the amount of gauges you get, and accurate ones too with easily resettable peak holds. I have no problem recommending it to anyone. (only issue with the emu is some of the engine data is wrong, like injector duty etc.)

I must admit the OB link looks good too, I will have to research that one some more.

Informeter touch has 3 sensor inputs if you buy the expander, oil temp, oil pressure and boost. It also has an analogue input for your wideband. Other than the exhaust temp the informeter is my only requirement, easy to hide too as it looks like a GPS unit.

Well for one the Informeter displays Boost...the OB-LINK doen't :(

CAMP2 is more expensive then Informeter...

Incredibly true. No intake manifold pressure display for the OB-Link for VQ25det.

VQ35de Skyline's? No worries though.

Also, HKS cannot confirm that it will work with VQ35de Stagea's :(

Can't you get a cable for the Informeter that plugs into the Emanage and pulls data from it's senders?

But you can only have one or the other, the emanage communication or the sensor adapter I am fairly sure.

Just remember the Greddy sensors aren't cheap but they are accurate. I guess it's similar to buying a Defi set, just more compact.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
