Does look too bad at all.

You said it wasn't a perfect fit... Where does it fit not so right ? Any chance of a few close up pics ??

Then the decision.. Leave the gauge holder black and get a silver gauge, paint the gauge holder grey to match the A pillar and get a silver gauge, or leave the gauge holder black and get a black gauge...

Who's good with PhotoShop ?? :(:D

I have a boost gauge mounted on the A-pillar. It's in a pod I bought from Modyourcar.com for the R33. It's not a perfect fit but it looks O.K.

That web site is painful to use, I searched up and down, left and right, I can't find a single gauge pod for an R33 GTST. I can find a univeral one for ~$20, is that it?

Hi J , I vote for black POD and black gauge.:(

I've been quoted from etperformance (www.etperformance.com.au) that they're $37 for black or $49 for carbon fibre (look).

I have three defi guages in my centre console wheer the two centre vents were. I removed the vents and stuck the three 60mm guages there. I blocked off the vent behind withthe exception of four outlet holes which I routed via plastic pipe to blow air out between the guages into the main cabin of the car. I did this to help airflow when the air conditioning is in use. If any of the vents are closed or blocked air will be forced out the remaining open vents at a higher rate, so the side vents are doing an okay job for front passenger and myself. Also means the install is fairly clean, not advertising to general walker-bys that it's loaded with guages as well. I also have an Apexi RSM that is mounted just in front of my rear view mirror (G-sensor in the roof lining in the cavity around the roof/light controls), It sits up there, behind the sun strip quite nicely and again out of site to passer bys. Still very viewable from a driver perspective (you look at your rear view all the time), it's perfectly sized so that the front sun shades still go through their motion with out any touching or rubbing, also completely out of view of the rear view mirror, so there is no inconveneince there. See in the guage photos that the owner has a RSM, or SAFC, you could look to install it in the same location as me, so that way your warning lights at the bottom of the rev guage on the cluster are not covered up.

Is that three guage holder definitely for 2 1/16" guages???

Also you can get an Autometer A pillar single and Dual pod guage holder. As I am in the states I will source mine here, but have not seen a DIn sized one for three guages.

Modyour car has them here for those who cannot navigate the web...lol

Actually now I think about it I might have bought the gauge and pod off Ebay. The pod is an autometer one for r33 skylines. I'd have to say I recommend them. Happymeal I reckon I'll get rid of the RSM anyway. Can't get it to cut the speed limit like I thought it would. Feckin thing perhaps I'm just not using it right. Who knows?

Well in truth, I have always been able to find the menu setting to cut the speed limiter, but only really had a car with one installed up to a speed where the limiter would have cut it, that was also when I had a different ECU in there (link computer), so I can't testify they always work, but I have not heard any other result of them not doing what they say. In the manual there are two ways of installing the RSM, with speed cut option or without speed cut option (just speed monitor), the speed cut option involves connecting two wires from the RSM loom onto the speed wire out of the ecu and 'snipping' the wire between the connections of the two from the RSM loom. Thereby stopping the signal circumventing the RSM. Maybe your wire is not 'snipped', obviously don;t go snipping a damned thing till you check pin outs lol :cheers: But that situation would stop the limiter feature in the RSM from actively cutting the speed limiliter effect.

      Hopefully you can just unbolt them, thank them for their service, then bin them and not replace them Apparently the sensors like to set them off with only minor impacts at low speed It looks like they do a delete kit for some of these, but, it is costly

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.
