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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
