I'm going to mould a fibreglass one soon to fit 3 gauges where the factory screen and controls go. Aiming for the r34 look.

If it turns out alright I will make a few.

That's been a plan of mine for a long time, but just lack a work space to do it. I just grabbed Craig's on steering column mount though so prob won't worry about it.

I will make a few. I now have to cut it out and work out how to mount it.

So far all the hard work is done. Moulding extras would be easy and would not cost much, although I had to ruined my old original stereo/screen surround to make the mould, so I would like to cover the cost of that from the first couple.

I think the question is how much would.you pay?

Tough call, I wouldn't want to offend by going too low, but no-one has a problem with you making a fair profit for your effort & getting yourself a replacement surround.

You have a market also with the V35 guys too so that may help cover cost.

Of course they will only need to mount a vacuum gauge for tip top fuel economy, & a pair of volt gauges to ensure their neons aren't drawing too much current...

How about I make 5. Put them on eBay and let you guys bid on them? Lol

I have altered the mould a little bit. I was not 100% happy with the first one. Next one will be better.

Will post pics up of the next one, once its finished, including cut out and painted.

They look so awesome and I want them...but I'll never be able to check how green my leaf is again. So I'm torn.

I've got a boost gauge smashed in the drivers side dash vent hole, but soon I'll need another place to put the a/f gauge, what should I get for the 3rd pod hole?

Oil pressure or oil temp or even auto trans temp are a good idea.

If you ditch the leaf I have a new Nismo dash that would look great beside your new gauges. :P

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
