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

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

    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
