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:

hey, hallam performance used to have a good reputation round these parts 5 6 years back, cant find anything for em since! im about to install 3 52mm gauges im my spare din slot in a couple of weeks!

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

:yes:

Yep, I see what you mean...

Too bad you're in not in Sydney, I could have done them for a few slabs of beer, that's what my mate paid me LOL

LOL indeed. Shame. Still.. it's the thought that counts! LOL. :rolleyes:

    • 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?
