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

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Yeah, I get that. I try to be as cost-efficient as possible with cars, and typically prefer to buy them at the bottom of their depreciation curve. I was looking at those Bilsteins too as they're roughly in the same price bracket as the BC's - lack of adjustability and being soft put me off, not that I want anything too hard. That's my issue with the Skyline, it's too expensive and it's reflected in my driving. I don't mind going full pelt as long as there's a gravel trap to catch me. Really, proper safety equipment is needed for total confidence. Well this just turned up for the BMW. I'll try and get the front together tomorrow and take some pics of the absolutely horrid rear end; perhaps I'll have a crack at the rear on Wednesday. I need to make the car drivable before the weekend as I'll be driving it over to London.

      While going through data logs late last week, I spotted a small issue with my WMI. My WMI starts to progressively inject at 11psi of boost. I'm using a 25psi cut in pressure switch on my WMI as an added safety and if the curve is linear, I should hit that 25psi on my WMI system around 13-14psi of boost.  As per my data logs, my WMI pressure switch only activates around 19psi of boost. This is causing my non WMI 4D map to trim for WMI. I'm presuming this is caused by the mechanical switch response time, injection curve not being linear or both.  I ordered a 2-10psi adjustable cut in pressure switch which should correct this. If this doesn't resolve it before my dyno appointment on Friday, I'll just remove the pressure switch temporarily and more than likely replace it with a pressure transmitter afterwards.    BTW Speedtek has yet to refund me.
