G'day all,

Anyone know of a reliable place south east if possible to fit/install a couple of extra gauges on an r33?

(And hopefully won't rip me off doing it?)

What would you expect to pay including installation for this job?

I'm hoping to get 2-3 on dash or Pod mounted actually..

Any feedback always appreciated..

Thanks heaps once again. :action-smiley-069:

As above. They aren't really that hard to install. When you buy them (new) they come with instructions. Just need to find a constant power sorce, head unit power or hazard lights.

Some gauges have a 'lamp' wire or something like that so when your headlights turn on the gauges dim or change colour.

As the above guys have said its not very hard at all, just put some in my mates R34 GTT last week actually.

If you tackle the job and need some pointers shoot me a PM I will be more than glad to help you out.

DIY,

If you want it done right, do it yourself.

This is the place i put em in..

the ones on top of the dash are a practice run... i have a good dash in the shed for later.

See how a pod would be nicer on the dash

agreed , save yourself the money and do it yourself . they arent that hard to install . buy a din pocket or a pod pillar off ebay , purchase your gauges and sensors depending what you want . google it , theres probably a few write up in the sau diy section , worst case you get confused you post questions on here

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
