Hi Guys,

Doing up a list of things to change ona friends r34gtt and we would like to replace the stock boost guadge with something that reads in PSI.

Is there a direct replacement item, using the stock sensors? i read somewhere the nismo one should be, but i could confirm this / or find a PSI one.

s there much work involved in fitting an aftermarket gauge, what size is the mount?

i wouldn't mind fitting up a turbosmart one, http://www.turbosmart.com.au/product/boost-gauge

Is there a tutorial on removing the triple gauge mount? i did find one on this site, but all the picture links were broken :(

cheers!

Christian.

The triple gauge mount is a 2 second job, just pop the a/c vents out with a flatblade and then undo the 2 phillips head screws!

Why do you need a PSI one? Actually WHY do you need one at all? Depending on which state you are in it is possible to create a defect for yourself by having a boost gauge on the dash!

The Nismo item is a different colour and generally expensive! I purchased 3 stepper motor gauges to replace the stock ones and it cost $170 all up i think!

And i deleted the boost gauge :P

As the Geeteetee gury says, take a flatblade and pop it out very easy to do

I was thinking of changing mine as well.

I read in another topic that the stock ones arent accurate when it comes to the temperatures?

But I guess if your car is stock there isn't any need to change them.

Going to be installing an aftermarket actuator and changing the boost level to around 10-11 Psi. Using the stock Gauge I would have NFI what level its at, as its super vague.

If the car already has a boost gauge i cant see why they would defect you for have a different type of boost guage. I think they only care if its obstructing your vision, and since its the stock location it shouldn't change anything.

Sounds easy enough to remove, will give it a shot.

Just use the stock on and get a rough idea.... The factory one is 1 bar or 14.7 psi etc, should be easy enough to tell where 11-12psi is.... Plus if you set the boost controller up right you shouldn't need to watch it....

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
