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!

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....

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
