I dont think we are the best at everything... swimming is one thing you Aussies have on us. Im just saying is that your comments where somewhat unfounded. Pushrods can make power and be very reliable w/ power. Im not saying they are better. Hell do I drive a Camaro, no... cause I dont want some big ass 350cid motor. I like turbochargers and the systems and I will one day have my motor up and running. I also think we thuroughly NINJA-ed this poor guys thread :mad: Also note that not a pushrod nor a (D/S/4)OHC motor dominated the road racing back in the day, it was good ol 1940s Wankel Rotaries that dominated road racing. 787B was a infamous car in its day... back when they used to win something like 80% of all entered events, even AFTER they where moved up to another higher powered class!

Who gives a damn pushrod, rotory, single cam, twin-cam, single turbo, twin turbo. A fast car is a fast car. Respect it. Look at the Porsche excluding the current generation. Up until a few years ago they were still running SOHC and 2 Valves per cylinder. You cannot ignore that.

How bout we stick to the topic!

The autometer Lunar series is back which is basically the same as the apexi EL guages. There is alos the Cobalt series which has a black face and cobalt blue EL back lighting.

The best thing is that u can get a 5 inch EL monster tacho!!!! FULLY SICK!

I plan to use a Blitz BL Series Boost Gauge cause I think they are badass looking. Other than that I like the look of the silver autometer gauges netted into a carbon fibre dash panel. I also think for something like boost I could see getting the more expensive gauges for a bit more accuracy, although my experience with autometers has been good so far. I can only justify the Blitz BL cause it looks insanely badass. We didnt mean to Ninja his thread, sorry. Plus also note that we contributed as well :mad:

I am moving my boost gauge to the left side of the instrument binocle. A mate has his there and it looks pretty cool. And some police have been defecting chrome gauge cups because of glare. Where I went to put this will be down lower than it would be on A pillar, and below the dash line.

This is a permanent solution though. As holes need to be made to secure the cup. And a hole drilled to feed vacuum and electrical lines through.

As for other gauges, putting air/fuel meter and another where the ash tray is. Any suggestions for the other, whats useful to have?

Last question. I have Blitz gauge. Where can I find metric sized gauges cups?

IMO i wouldnt spend big on the gauges cos unless u never take ur car out, some **** will see them, smash ur window and rip them outta ur car like mine wer.

Just my 2c. And FYI i have an expensive alarm, but this was a smash and grab job in my gf's driveway, so there was nothin i could do about it once i was outside.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
