Ok so I bought some Defi gauges. 60mm white Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Tacho with the control unit. Don't really want the tacho but the guy wouldn't seperate lol, so if anyone is after one I'll be selling one soon.

I plan on mounting them in the stock gauge position so if anyone has pics of theirs installed that would be great. I've been told a bit of creativity with the brackets is needed.

ive been wanting to do the same thing but wasn't been able to find a right up/how to for swapping the gauges. if you do end up doing it could you please show how you did yours. that would be great thanks :)

though beautiful car though mate been following your build for a while now :)

  • 4 weeks later...

Small update, still haven't fitted the Defi's, soon hopefully haha. My plan is to fit an oil cooler at the same time so I think I will do it at next service as to not waste the oil in the car.

I went to my local exhaust shop and got him to make up a new straight through pipe to take out the mid muffler in my exhaust, it isn't all that much louder, bit more crackly which is nice. I have kept the old section though so if it ever becomes an issue I can just switch it back on :) . The guy also fixed up a bracket on my dump pipe too as there was a lot of movement in the exhaust as the first bracket was down near the diff.

Bought a pair of Rota P45R2's in 18x9.5 +20, due to having buckled one of my rims back at Wakefield, they should be here soon I would hope. I will buy another pair when I have more money lol. I know everyone isn't a fan of Rota, but with wanting to drift my car I don't want to spend lots of money on wheels only to ruin them at the track.

Will be attending some hill climb events at Mount Panorama on the 1st/2nd March, pretty keen for this. Plan is to hopefully do clutch/flywheel after this but before the motorkhana at Easter, will have to see about funds though :(

Also, my housemates girlfriend is into photography and wanted to try out some HDR style shots using my car so I got a friend with a R33 to come along too and below is a couple of pictures she did :)

pretty sweet editing with the photos they do look great kudos to your housemates gf for excellent shots

as for rotas well..not everyone has a bank account that can afford volks or work etc etc.. plus theres no point (in my own opinion) spending that sort of premium for a not so aggressive gtt fitment haha :) im looking at getting a set or rotas theyl be just cruising wheels and my stockers will get the abuse.

awesome as always mate :D

Cars looking good Tim

What colour did you end up getting them? I went hyper black with mine :)

Got a pic? I'm going to get my rims resprayed gloss black but curious to see what hyper black looks like

looking good mate.. are they matte black? some ones been fingering your wheels holes will all them smudges on them already :whistling:

what tyre sizes did you run with bro?

I'll put a pic up as soon as they arrive (if tim allows a small thread hijack :D) either tomorrow or early next week I'm told (exciting times)

Send me a PM instead, that way we don't mess up Tim's thread :P

Yea will post pics this arvo when I fit the new ones too.

They will fit no probs, if you've lowered the car a bit you will need to roll the guards but not flare, as long as your camber isn't anymore positive than -1 :P

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
