gauge location advise


Recommended Posts

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

    • Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead
    • Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.
    • It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10  
    • Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.   
    • Don't want to side track from the thread too much (don't want to upset the thread starter's run from 2007) so here's some old rusted Nissan Laurels in a parking lot in Nishinomiya, Hyogo-ken:
