Hey guys i am contemplating getting bleed valve and naturally i will need a boost gauge and i also want to get an oil temp gauge. I want to put them in the spare din slot i have under my head deck.

Mainly just want to know will they fit if i put in the 2 1/16 gauges. I will ring nissan on monday to see if they stock just a single din plate then i guess i can just cut the wholes in that and mount the gauges yea ???.

also if someone has a template or pics of a similar thing that would be great.

I removed the pocket got a sheet of 2 mm alloy and mark around the pocket fold it so that you have the two sides long enough so that you can use the factory holes in the

Brackets drill the holes for ya gauges you will find that you need to make the holes about 2-3mm up from the centre because the lower part of the pocket sits behind the console. Start polishing it will look like stainless steel when done

if ya want I will get some pics this week but will not have time to pull it all out to take other pics atm

Also if you are upping the boost I would get a air/fuel gauge rather than the oil temp ( it uses pin 29 on the ECU)

good luck

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
