cluster.JPG

hey guys just been looking at some dash's of other peoples skylines and realised they arnt like mine

i was allways under the impression my instrument cluster was like that from factory, but i could infact bewrong (btw its a s1 33)

my second question is: i just installed the boostguage the other day, and is it normal for it to be reading 1psi while the car is turned off?

thanks

the white bit ive never seen before, probably just an el kit or white background upgrade

i dont see how the stock guage should be reading 1psi? when the car is off or at idle its -500mmhg which is absolute pressure, its definetly not 0psi or 1psi

strange that Bigmicky lol coz my mate dropped it when we installed it... it still works fine... but instead of reading 10psi when i full boost it reads 11psi, which would explain the 1psi lol

can it be fixed?

and does anyone have any further ideas on the guage surround in the dash?

thanks guys

i reckon some one has just put that in the back of the cluster, and with your boost guage, i installed my boost guage myself, when connecting the constant make sure u connect the right one. And when i turn the car off, it ends up reading 1psi, but as soon as i turn the car on it auto zero's itself and is back to zero.

ive got an autometer tho, so its possibly different

You open up the cluster.. paint that bit.. aftermarket facia cards are available in the correct size in japan - you can get carbon fibre look, etc. So it's either one or the other.

With the specco, somebody has shoved something in there too far, and it has jumped up. You can get inside and there is a spring mechanism - you kind of shove it back and you can adjust it up or down el'dodgo style. My old gauge often needs stuffing around with to get back on 0psi.

sorted..

As i understand it:

The boost gauge will only read vaccum / boost when the engine is running. The gauge will sit slightly eityher side of zero depending on what the air pressure (ie - the weather) is. Doesn't always mean that it's been dropped.

Standard air pressure at sea level on a 15'C day is 101.3kPa, or 1Bar. That's 14.7psi iirc. Give or take a little based on daily changes.

Yep, the gauge will only display something other than zero when the engine is running :uh-huh: but 1psi is the air pressure at around 28,000ft.

      Gran Turismo 7 Time trial

      Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.

      I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!

      I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.

      I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium

      It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:
