electric boost gauge problem

Hi people,

I bought a Greddy Electric Boost Gauge off a person here and im having problems wiring the bugger up.

Now when i got it in the mail it had 4 wires: RED, WHITE, BROWN *i think brown anyways* AND BLACK. The 3 wires (apart from the black ground) were inter-twined together.

When i wired it up using ALL 3 wires into the one power source it turned on no worries. HOWEVER, the Needle sits as far CLOCKWISE as possible resting on the lil stump thingo when it gets power and when it is OFF it sits just away from the stump.

I connected all the vaccume lines etc and the Gauge is NOT working. Does anybody have any experience with these types of gauges ??

Im really keen to get it sorted asap as i hacked up my DIN pocket under my headset for it and i wanna get some tips before i pull all that rubbish off again.

Any ideas on what to check or do?

Or did i get JIPPED by a SAU person?

Have you got the manual/instructions that came with the gauge? if not go to the manufactures website or ask some of the lads on here, they might have the instructions. That should have a wiring diagram, i dont think all three wires should be twisted together for some reason..............

      r33 gtst pwr steering pressure switch

      By Lamsr334door · Posted

      Hey guys, currently building my new motor and trying to tidy the bay up heaps and delete unnecessary items, on the factory steering system you have a pressure switch in the high pressure line and a solenoid in the steering rack. I'm going a link ecu for the new build, so will it be ok to delete the pressure switch. and with the rack solenoid, has anyone removed it and bunged it up ? i know u can do the 5c trick or i was thinking i just replace the steering rack with a S14 rack.

      Oof, glad that it seems have gone much better than it could have. I have seen some pretty terrible tow truck handling just as a bystander. Zero fvcks given and no regard for the cars at all. Also broke down with fuel pump issues the other week as the wiring was on its way out. Roadside assistance guy used to have a Skyline and was looking at Stageas on the market. The tow truck driver also used to own a high powered Skyline and was telling stories about that. Apparently too fast to have any issues with being pulled over... Makes all the difference dealing with people who actually know their cars and care.

      I had quite the scare last night. I was on the highway just toying around with an Audi. Right after an extended WOT pull, I lost all power. I cruised to a stop on the side of the highway and realized I had no fuel pressure. I keyed on/off a few times and could hear both pumps priming but pressure was still non existent. When you need a towing on a highway in Quebec, it's an automatic call to the provincial police. They don't mess around, they'll gladly destroy your car to get it off the highway asap. I pulled my bumper off as quickly as I could as to not have it destroyed getting it onto the truck. I got lucky as the tow driver was a car guy. He entertained the police while I finished up popping my bumper off and sticking it in my window. As we started taking off, the police drove by the tow driver to tell him we couldn't leave with the bumper sticking out the window. He pulled off on the first exit he saw, did a u turn and got right back on the highway in the direction of home lol.  With no leak insight, the only thing I could think of was a torn FPR diaphragm or a popped hose inside my fuel tank. This morning on removal of my Radium twin pump hanger, one pump hose was completely shredded and the other was on the verge of the same fate. Both hoses had swelled to double their size... I have no idea how I ended up not using submersible hose but clearly that's what happened. To make things even worst, Radium supplies submersible hose with the hanger... So either they supplied the wrong hose or I had the wrong hose laying around when I assembled it.  Looking over logs, my fuel pressure dropped to 0 roughly 10 seconds after a WOT pull. I was cruising and I'm confident the motors fine. Had that happened 10 seconds earlier, I'd more then likely be pulling the motor out. New hose arrives tomorrow, I'll put it back together then.

      Post 2 in this thread is my C34 with a R34 manual console, you can see it is a tiny bit different but not noticeable, and clips straight in. Only issue is you have to move the g sensor a little with the manual console.
