Hi all,

I'm going to be upgrading my auto r34 set up and I'm going to install some new gauges. What do people think about prosport gauges ? Also to install the boost gauge can I use any of the factory wires/ connections ?

Lastly does an engine oil temp gauge work for trans temp ?? I can't find any trans temp ones so I was thinking about using an oil gauge and sensor for it ?

Cheers guys

Cheers guys, was just a little unsure. Also oil temp sensor will work yeah ?

Also do I have to run new sensors for the boost gauge and normal engine oil gauge to work or can I tap into anything from the factory set up to save some time ?

Good chance the sensors will be different resistance, you need to put the prosport sensors in for the gauge to be accurate.

Do you have an oil cooler? I run mine in the hoses, same with the auto temp sensor.

Yeah good point. And I'm buying a bigger trans oil cooler http://m.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/Davies-Craig-Hydra-Cool-Transmission-Oil-Cooler-8-Cylinder-Universal/125648 and I'll run the sensor after it before it re enters the transmission but the engine cooling is stock

Basically.

Think about it this way (im going to exagerate alot here). If the oil coming out of the trans is 200 degres, and the oil going into the trans is 50 degrees, which would you rather know about?

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
