3rd one!! Just cut the hose that goes in front of your manifold and put a t piece in there. Then install your tube that the Autometer guage comes with into the t piece.

thanx robo..... u wouldnt hapen to have a pic of the negine bay showing the hose u are talkin bout?.....

[fresh]

u wouldn't happen to have a spell-checker would u

but in response, if u have a multi-meter, stick the probs onto some of the points on the oxy sensor, when u touch the right 2 (i think there is only 3) u should see the voltage move up and down, give her some revs and she should fluctuate all over the shop, then do a test hookup of the gauge, if its reading right then u've done it.

the pipe for the boost/vac is located on the rear of the plenum (the side closest to the firewall) if a tiny little nozzle up in the top corner, just cut that hose, which goes to ur factory gauge and splice in the tee, or if you don't want the factory gauge just stick ur boost gauge holder pipe on instead, this might stuff certain systems up, i dunno, i just spliced it

thanx fresh..... yea i got spell check... but we are talkn cars here, no essays...

For the boost gauge question, i cant help with pics either, and my car is an r32 but id say that r33 will be the same- The stock boost gauge takes it reading from the inlet manifold at the rear of the engine. There is a rubber hose that goes from the manifold to a little plastic box right in the top left hand side of the engine bay. Its not very hard to find, its the only hose that goes there.

Is oil pressure mechanical or electric. Either one you'll have to hook it up to the oil pressure sender, just left of the oil filter. IF its mechanical, you'll need to remove the sender and plug in a brass t piece. If its electric, then plug it into the factory connection.

[Fazt_R33]

hey r33 boy, thanks for the head up...

its mechanical..... got more detailed info?.....

cheers

ANY EXPERTs OUT THRE? need some light...

I installed my afr guage onto the ecu harness, much easier than running a wire into the engine bay.

Didn't the gauges come with instructions?

1. Go and buy a multimeter, a pair of alligator clips, and a paper clip. Open out the paper clip and slip it into the back of each connection at the O2 sensor connector. Start engine. Use the alligator clips to connect one lead of the multimeter to the paper clip. One connection should show approx 14V, one will show 0V, and the other will be varying between 0 - 1V. That is the one you want. (It should be the middle one)

2. You've been given the answer - find the oil pressure sender, located just rearward of the oil filter. Insert a T adapter.

yea i got spell check... but we are talkn cars here, no essays..

I personally prefer essay-quality (not an essay, just essay-quality), because I then don't spend half my time deciphering what you are saying. We may be "talking" cars, but we are doing it by "reading" the words, not by "hearing" the words. So it would be nice if you spelled the words the way most of us are used to seeing them spelled.

[Fazt_R33]

yo blind, thanx for the help...

yea they came with instructions, but i thought it would alibiate the reading and working out the generic instructions, ppl with skylines that have done the installation could give me advice, actual skyline wiring harneses, would make ma life easier that working it out... etc etc

I personally prefer essay-quality

umh... il try ma best.. usualy i jst write short and simple... il cut out the deciphering..

thanks everyone.

if you got more details and pics, do let me know.

[Fazt_R33]
