It is expensive and a real headache to get your gauges recalibrated - pay the little extra to get it fitted by a professsional

man not another thing i got on my car that u have 2!:)

when did u get yours?

:)

I got mine done just after buying the car (about 15months ago), before I even joined SAU or SDU so I couldn't have copied you :)

I had to suffer with stuffed gauges for a little while and then had them re-calibrated. I only properly fixed my tacho recently when I replaced it 'cos it was un repairable after I had stuffed in when trying to put the faces on:lol:

luckly grim did hes first so when we did mine we knew what mistakes not to make again. Grim broke the springs on the tacho when removing it on his!

My tach is prob like 200rpm off comparing it to the reading from the s-afc.

how much one of these sets of ricey dials cost?

I actually wonder if anyone made 'em in red background with white letterings.... instead of white background....

they dont come in red as it would be 2 hard to read at night!

Mine go from blue to green and 5 shades in between and cost me $220 from Jetspeed.

emply your pm box i cant reply to your pm

cool i empyed it hahaha

ok i was worried about the calibration you talked about and worrying about my revs spedo and the rest going off?

when you say fitted by a professinal i dont mind doing that but who do i goto ?

i ask Garry's car audio if they can do it they said fine. i was going to do em both when i install my system but iam not sure i want some one to know what there doing and get it right the first time?

if you change it do you have to recalibrate it?

and if so where are these professinals in melbourne i dont mind spending that lil bit more to get it done proberly i saw one in unique auto sport site

but its only blue i think and one of you guys said you got one that changes colours or somthing where did you get it from

web site?? etc =)

thanks for your support guys =)

rakis on unique autosports that one is blue and green, those are the only colours u can get (i think)

Theres a switch from blue to green and a brightness switch!

The green looks poxy anyway!

If you take it off carefully and mark all the points after u take the little plastic stoppers off and place the needles back exactly the same way you shouldnt have any problems!

As for Garys Car Audio doing it, check that they have done it before, as if they *** up your dash, u r gonna have to go buy another 1 like 1 of my friends did after the place he took it to stuffed his speedo up.

If the installer stuffed up, shouldn't they be responsible to replace ur speedo?

If it's so risky, would it be better to buy a cluster set ready to plug in, but that would cost heaps I suppose...

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
