Well I think ive seen it done so I know its possible. And the reason I want it is I dont have to take my eyes off the road. The bluebird had it btw and its one of the most best features of the car.

Fair enough. Taking your eyes off the Road to look at the speedo doesn't make you crash though, if it did everyone would be crashing all the time!

That wasn't my main reason for getting one, but now that you bring it up, what makes u so sure people aren't?

If there was a way to determine what number of crashes are caused by people looking at their speedo I bet the number would be higher than you expect. It would certainly be higher than 0, a lot higher.

Thats like saying just because looking at your phone while driving doesn't make you crash all the time there is no problem doing it. Drivers taking their eyes off the road is one of the leading causes of crashes.

Well I have no trouble looking at the speedo, but understand everyone is different.

Just to clarify, your r33 does not have obd2 so there's no way that unit will work. There are gps based hud units that will work, and would be more accurate anyway.

But GPS units wont display revs indicators, lights etc. Surely someone has wired in one of the units on a skyline before?

Getting OBD2 to work on a skyline would be virtually impossible and fairly pointless, and I would put money on it that it will not happen.

Also, you dont need to see your revs from a safety point of view :)

I could have sworn i saw one on some UK skyline forum. maybe it wasn't OBD II but it was a hud unit wired in.

I don't like GPS based units because they only update every 3 seconds or so and are always showing your speed from 3 seconds ago.

Check this out. Might be able to help you out. http://m.ebay.com/itm/161022260528?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1

Nope, skylines don't use obd at all. They use "consult" which was only on Nissan.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
