If you dont mind buying on the internet, the cheapest place i have found is Perfect Run at about $385 including the control unit 2. Also xspeed have just the gauge for $218 +10% GST, there located in WA, but have an online catalogue.

u need the control unit 2 to do the light up display for the BF series gauges dont u ?  

and u need it anyway if u wanna hook up two gauges? an elec one (oil temp say) and mech (boost) ?

All the BF gauges are electrical as far as i know, including the boost gauge. And you definately need the control unit 2 to run the gauges at all. The unit can run up to 6 off it i think?

Prices from Xspeed website:

Control Unit 2: $181.82

Boost: $218.18

Water Temp and oil temp: $172.73

Ex. Temp, oil press and fuel press: $290.91

But you must add 10% for GST. And i guess because they are already in the country there is not chance of having to pay duty?

I think perfect run are the cheapest for the control unit 2, at 9500 yen.

Im getting the boost gauge soon, if you end up getting the gauges i would be interested in finding out how hard installing them is and also if you get everything you need (sensors etc) in the kit.

PS Dont tell anyone but xspeed also have copy Do luck type 2 kits for R32 for about $1200. Have to keep it quiet or else everyone will end up with them before i have had a chance to save up. ;-)

There is a new web based company opening up with some great pricing and service. Their sight isn't complete yet but I emailed them and bought an ARC intercooler for an EVO 2 at a top price. Their web which is under construction is www.runway7.com.au

You can email them at [email protected]

Hope this helps.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
