Wondering if anyone's done this before?

Before I continue, I know the Oil gauge sucks, I know the Boost doesn't read >10 and isn't measured in PSI; don't care, aiming for a stock look that looks nice.

The nitty gritty...

I know volts/temp work fine.

Wondering how to convert current mechanical boost line / VAC line to electronic? Under the impression that R32 non GTR don't have a stock electronic boost solenoid? How would I go about working around this?

If you Google "R32 centre gauges into GTST" you will find that indeed it has been done (many times) before and all will be revealed.

personally I wouldn't bother. Only because the gauges are so old now that they are mostly useless.

My voltage gauge reads 11.5 when it's really at 14v

my boost gauge reads -200mmhg when it's at atmospheric pressure (engine off)

oil temp peaked at 100c on the track where it's unlikely to have been less than 120. I don't have another way of measuring unfortunately.

I don't mean to rain on your parade. The stock look is nice but the gauges belong in the bin unfortunately. If you like a clean look, the Defi Din triple gauge option would be nice; although it's $500 or so

If you followed your own advice, you'd fine that's not true.

There is no information re: whether or not the GTR gauges are plug & play into GTST/4. Most aftermarket gauges are mechanical and GTR are electronic; hence thread.

Anfanee, are the Defi temp/temp/press only? Or is there an option w/ a Boost gauge?

+1 to the defi din gauges. Got them setting next to me.

I can haz for free anfanee?

nah no boost gauge unfortunately

Can't imagine wanting boost in your center console, needs to be somewhere you can see it when you're hektic boostin' and should hopefully have your eyes on the road... :yes:

Meh. I only ever used the boost gauge for double checking rpm and max boost because of mbc's problems with the ball and spring. Boost gauge is now in the glovebox where it serves it's purpose for double checking.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
