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.

    • 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.
