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.

    • 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.
