So here is the new improved mould, made from thick body filler and aluminum tube which gives it heaps of strenght. With this mould I will be able to use it continuously be able to make heaps as the heat wont ruin it. in The pic of the painted gauge holder, the new improved one with better angle on it is the one on the right.

Will be fitting it up in the next few days.

I have plenty of time to play with it now as I have a company car for my daily ride. But may end up selling the stage :-( can't really keep 3 cars and my bike! If I get the right price that is...... Or I might just have to keep it. :-) that's what I tell the wife anyway.

Pics. Now that I'm happy with it, time to get my hands on some defi gauges.

As for prices on these.

$60 each. Up to you to trim, paint and install.

You will be sold the moulded perspex as it comes out of the vacuum form.

Be warned, trimming is fiddly, you must prime with plastic primer before painting. Obviously you will need a 52mm hole saw and drill slow and careful.

To mount it I used thin fibre glass on the back around the seam.

I will need a minimum of 4 orders at a time to make it worth while.

Maybe post it up on the V series section of the forum too, I'm sure there's some V35 owners that would want one.

I reckon! Imagine how hard those N/A's will go with 3 vacuum gauges!

Yeah I will. But I'm assuming they would have English version with Australian tv set up and aus GPS......wouldn't they?

If so why would they want to change?

Could understand if it was all jap like ours! That's the main reason for me doing it.

    • 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
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
