ummm no i dont have pics atm, but i can get em!! it's alot of work though.. i describe it to you!

series 1 GTST --

where the hazard light switch and demister switch were i have an air/fuel ratio and water temp guage! both are the smaller autometer guages

then on the other side where the mirror switch is there is a boost guage! larger style autometer!

then all switches have been moved to the center console!

I might just put it back on the base of my A-pillar. It really is the best spot for it. I'll get defected for my exhaust before I get defected for my boost gauge anyway...

The gauge I have in my dash already is completely blocked by the windscreen wiper stalk. I have no idea why it was positioned where it is. :confused:

i'll get photo's of mine tomorrow, and post em up. i only use my boost guage if i suspect something might be happening with the feel of the cars acceleration.. not something that i constantly look at!!

on the pillar is just easy to spot when driving past etc!!!

if you have them in a pod, they are less likely to pick it up unless they go over your car.. but if you have cups and open guages they see em when you drive past etc... been done twice when i had some on the pillar! (granted it was a monsta tacho and boost- but it looked good)

I've got mine on the A-Pillar, but if a cop ever tried to defect me for it I'd get pissed off, cause the way I see it, taxis with their souvalaki ordering system thingy are just the same! But the government has different laws for different things I suppose... funny how the law works against you!

it came with the car when i imported it so I have no idea unfortunately.

its a piece of carbon fibre shaped/cutout around the top of the gauge, its quite a tight fit and it holds it in there very well. the fibre is then simply screwed to the steering column with some 90 degree angled pieces of metal.

The gauge itself sits in a small cup.

its quite simple and does the job perfectly and is in perfect view without blocking any dash gauges at all.

      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
