Hi everyone.

I have been doing a little project at home and I have come up with a mould for a gauge holder to replace the factory TV screen and buttons.

I am offering these for $60 each +postage or pick up is welcome (from bowen mountain nsw, near north Richmond). I will only do them when I have at least 4 orders at a time.

they are made of 2mm Perspex.

and they will come to you straight from the mould. So please only hands on people should order. the reason for this is it would be very time consuming for me to trim and paint every single one and the price would be significantly dearer.

You will need to cut the 52mm holes yourself using a hole saw, you will need to trim it to the exact size, give it a coat of plastic primer and top coat of your choice and then fit it.

I used fibreglass around the seams on the back to mount it. You can also make your own tabs or use tie wire or cable ties ect to keep it in position. once gauges are mounted in it, you can use the bracket on the back of the gauges to secure it also. Again there are a number of ways you can do this, but I must stress this is not just a buy+plug+play situation. you have to be good a DIY to do this.

Don't order if Your not confident to do this yourself.

If your interested PM me and I will send you payment details when the minimum 4 orders are placed.

I am interested, I just haven't had the time to contact you about it. Performance parts for these aren't going to fly off the shelf, but if you make them you will eventually get rid of them if you do small quantity runs.

Remember, these are family cars predominantly, so performance mod customers are few and far between.

Anyway, put me down for one Justin. Send me a PM with your details if you can, or do you have a Paypal account?

Ok. That's 3 people now that want one. My PayPal account is [email protected]

After the 3 of you have made payment I will make and ship them. to make it easy I will do a flat rate for everyone of $10 postage Australia wide.

So $70 total including postage.

Thanks

Justin.

Yeah no problem, you make number 4 and its ideal to make them in batches of 4 for me.

Once you make payment to my PayPal account, pm me your details including address and I will post as soon as they are made. Which will be my next day off work after the 4 people have paid.

Cheers

Justin

If anyone needs to contact me 0411 171 616.

Thanks to the people that have paid. Your gauge holders have been sent.

I do have one here with slight imperfection, will sell for a discounted price of $50. Includes postage. It will just need to have a couple of extra coats of primer filler.

Yeah no probs, just wait for 3 more people to jump in and I will do them same week. I will send you pm and payment details once I get 3 more confirmed.

Will post a pic up of one straight out of the mould tomorrow.

I still haven't gotten around to fitting mine, and probably won't be seeing I have the informeter. If Justin isn't making them anymore you could probably twist my arm to send you mine.

Try and PM him so he gets the notification.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
