this is how i have my gauge, i didnt want it to cause any blind spot or stand out to much so i built this with fibre glass and putty, i think it came out pretty good, not finished yet (this was a trial fit) what do you guys think?

hey looks pretty good, its like at the angle i want mine to sit at, actually facing me unlike the a-pillar pods you buy. did u buy it and modify it ? would you be willing to make any more :) lol

i made it from scratch, using pvc pipe, t shirt cloth and fibreglass resin, once i got the basic shape i liked i used body filler to get it smoth, then painted it. ( not completly finished yet) you could cover in leather or any other material aswell

if you live in perth i can help you make it.. otherwise pm me and i will give you help that way

Don't know where to mount the gauge but with respect to the AVC-R:

Thinking about mounting inside the Drivers Sun-visor. 3 reasons...

1) When not need it can be folded up and the AVC-R is out of site… Stealth install- less attractive to thieves (out of sight- out of mind).

2) When you do need to use it- if while driving- fold down the sun-visor and it’s direct line of site… don’t need to take your eyes of the road…

3) How often do you see mounted there?

Problems-

1) Running the cable from the appropriate areas up the inside of the drivers “A” pillar then into the visor.

2) Thickness and weight of the AVC-R would probably require the visor to be cut and some bracing inserted. It probably would not sit flush either.

I know it sounds like a big job but if people can do it to Mini TV’s you certainly can mount AVC-R. Your effort = Your time and money.

Also if you have the AVC-R (Air Volume Controller ?) it comes with a boost display. There for don’t require the boost gage- sell it and it’ should pay for some of the sun visor modifications.

My idear when I finly get my line...

Stuck with VL for now

anyone got sum pics of it mounted on a sunvisor?

I agree pics i want pics of the avc-r on the sunvisor ;) i thought of it and went hmmm nar, but if i can see pics that would be bloody awesome :(:D so come along people, get some pics rolling on :D

hey guys, soz to dig this thread up again, but has anyone looked at mounting a boost gauge in the air vent on the right hand side of the steering wheel?? I have seen it done in a rexxie, but not sure if it would be possible in a R32, and i cant check it coz i aint got mine in OZ yet.

If some1 has done it, i would be keen on a pic of how it looks, or even just a measurement of the air vent itself would be kewl to see if it is possible...

cheers.

NAman - AVC-R stands for actuator valve controller type-r

oRiCLe - a 60mm gauge fits in there. I've got one there.

Attached is a really bad shot of my interior (it's really small as well). If I remember I'll take some photos of it tonight.

yeah, it's a pretty cool stealth set-up. Not my car though. It belongs to a friend of mine, in his GTI-R.

The flap was taken from another sun visor and is held either up, or down with magnets.

Yes, AVC-R does display boost graphically.

here's another pic of the visor with the fabric off. He cut out a recess for the AVC-R and cable and mounted it in.

that should give you some inspiration as to what is achievable.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
