yeah spent $800 including install as im too lazy to do it. Looks good tho.

$800 better spent on engine or something

[Nightcrawler]

yeah I have a lot of trouble justifying the money for gauges. I have Autometer ones like you have in my 200SX, but this time have opted for the significantly cheaper Autogauge smoked series. I think they look very cool (jet black when power is off), and are the right price - $220 delivered for all 3 with din mount (which I am not using). Bargain!

[Busky2k]

Problem is those ones are only the 90 degree sweep. Autogauge make the 270 degree sweeps which are alot nicer!!

[Nightcrawler]

yeah, but 3 or 4 time the price nicer? My current Autometer gauges are only about 120 degrees sweep and do the job just fine.

[Busky2k]

Nah they are roughly the same price, just that JustJap don't sell the 270 degree versions... Hahaha....

All good, 'slong as ur happy!

I would love to attend although i dont beleive my car will be fixed in time(bloody insurance have taken 4 weeks so far).

Looking forward to attending my first ever skyline cruise! Hope there is another one soon!

nice looking gauges black_33 - looks the biz, although at $800 they better be. as for the JustJap autogauge package variant, they also look good. having a 'smoked' appearance though i dont know if it needs your parkers/headlights on during the day to see. a bit off topic i know.

[Busky2k]

Presumably you'd hook up the gauge's power wire to the ignition, so the backlight switches on whenever the car is on...

[Nightcrawler]

you beat me to it Leo .... btw have you got your licence back and your car sorted yet?

all up cost $500 for gauges din mount and blue globes, but as i was too lazy to install cost 270 to install, too bad they didnt remove my old bar gauge, now i have 2 pressure gauges, old one in bar is mounted on steering column with velcro!!!!!!!

must have had a budget when the person put that one in

[DriftR_33]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

well its mounted on one square about 2cmX2cm and rattles is real annoying and just wanna get the effort to remove it <_<

[Nozila]

this is great and all but in regards to the bbq, what is everyone bringing?? im getting about 2 - 3 kgs of marinated chicken wings which i believe should be plenty for everyone.

Yeah man I'm back on the streets! I broke my back installing a pair of HKS Step 1 cams into the ol S14 today. Not really happy with the results. Whoever says they are fully streetable cams are full of shit! Bullshit you get gains below 3000rpm! It idles poorly and does not like staying under 2000rpm. That means no 4th gear at 60kmh. FFS... And any attempt at tuning doesnt solve anything. Garr....
