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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
