Temperature

[IVG_Auto]

Hey guys, got a question. Where are your stock r32 gtst temp gauges are sitting? Recently bought myself a 92 Skyline r32 gtst and its bothering me that temp sitting a bit above the middle, its sitting stable but not sure if its normal to be there or if my engine is running hotter than should be all the time or if the gauge is faulty.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Probably the gauge. It's meant to be normalised, meaning it'll sit in the middle for a range of temps (I can't remember what, but there's a write up on how to remove the normalisation so you can watch the gauge move with temperature).

too much effort, just install a proper temperature gauge and get accurate readings not some spring loaded gauge reading lol

Thanks lads, how hard is it to get the aftermarket temp gauge hooked up? Or is it just easier to take to a work shop to get that done? Anyone knows how much gauge install would be roughly if it was done in a shop?

Yerh will check out some Youtube stuffs tonight and see whether I got stuff required to get it done at home. Also, does anyone know whats the go this days with gauges and where they can be on the dash without being f***d by police should you get pulled over?

I mount my gauges just ontop of the steering column, have an AFR gauge, Boost gauge, water/oil temp there and no problems from the cops at all.

Check out the informeter units and similar, small color display with all ecu data able to be read, plus external oil pressure, oil temp, boost and Wo2. Mine has been working great for years.

Thanks for the input guys. Ive always wanted to mount some analog gauges on the beam that goes from the dash to the roof. You recon that's a go or better not?

its called the a pillar.

you roll the dice, if you ar a nice individual then you probably wont get defected.

Cheers, don't want to have any unnecessary attention so avoid I will. Appreciate the input from all of you!
Looks sooo good tho...

I personally prefer running something like a dash 2 or similar

all sensors into ECU for engine protection and all displays to 1x dash...
