Hey Guys,

Firstly I did search but didn't find anything again!

Just a question regarding the 3 guages in the centre.

What size aftermarket will go in there?

How do ou get them out? Just pop the cover?

Is it as easy as hooking up the existing cables? (oil temp)

And also can i use the factory oil pressure sensor and wiring with an aftermarket guage??

Obviously boost and voltage will be easy. but the oil temp is the only concern?

Cheers

Josh

1. pop out the aircon vents with a flat head screw driver on the lhs

2. remove two screws holding the center gauge.

3. flip up to remove.

Also do a search on "triple gauge" in the forums, the conversion to non-factory gauges has been done before.

No worries.

As for what gauges fit in there, 2" / 52mm gauges fit in there no problems. Some don't quite look right with the bezel on ( i think autometer might be one of these but don't quote me on that ).

The question about using the factory oil pressure signal - i had a look at the unit last night and there's just a loom going to the back of a sealed unit. I'm guessing one of them is the oil pressure signal and can be tapped in to but i'll have to check my manual to be sure.

Interested in seeing how yours turn out so be sure to post pics mate! :O

Speaking of this my tripple cluster rattles alot and is really annoying for me.

What should i use to put between it and the cars dashboard to get rid of the rattles? Some sort of sound deadener? and where would i get it from?

Use foam weather strips that you would normallly use between door jams. The type that you can peel off on one side to reveal an adhesive.

I use that on anything from the cold air ducts to the gaps around my panels when soundproofing my boot.

      Honda's hybrid system can be easily scaled up to PHEVs. Series hybrid at low speeds, at higher speeds the engine directly drives the wheels but there can still be some power bled off to charge the battery + the electric motor can still provide parallel assistance too. It's really only a question of will at that point. Toyota's PHEVs are selling incredibly well at the moment because of the flexibility. You can run on EV mode when it makes sense, but if you're planning on doing a long highway drive you can still fire up the gas engine and not have to worry about dealing with the rather miserable state of public charging infrastructure.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      Only reason to keep a MAF on your RB25 is to be able to easily calculate true VE if you know what the factory voltage curve represents in grams per second of flow. Also allows you to do things like pull the original OEM ignition + AFR target tables and use those as a starting point for your base map. Once you're well and truly done tuning though there's no need to retain the MAF.

      Very true, if buying new, I would not get an PP either. Minimum is an Elite 2500, which is also considered outdated. Get something that supports DBW, delete that cable throttle. Best thing I've ever done to the Skyline, next best is refreshing the A/C with a new condenser. It's cold, but not as cold as modern car, but colder than most 90s JDM shit boxes imported into Australia.

      Haltech have a nice comparison table between the Elite and Nexus models -  https://www.haltech.com/ecu-buyers-guide/ In general, the Nexus is better. Haltech have some nice product videos on their YouTube page, I'd have a look at those and if you're still not confident what way to go, I'd give them a call. They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I'm sure they'll be able to help you out.
