R34 Centre Guages

[GreddyGo]

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

i believe they are 2" gauges.. i recently played around with my center gauges too and followed this site to take them out.

r34gtt.net

good luck!

Yeah I have looked at that site, but there isn't anything about the centre guages.

Cheers

hope this helps

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!

[GreddyGo]

Yeah when it's done I'll post pics etc.

I though there would have been an article on this all ready.

P.S Thanks for your help

^^^ Thanks for that.

Now all I need to know is if I can use the current oil pressure switch the car for an aftermarket guage of If I need to get a different one.

Most people just seem to run there own vacumme lines for boost, and put in their own oil temp lines and stuff as it's to much of a bother trying to use the built in connector stuff.

[GreddyGo]

Ok,

Cheers, thanks for that.

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?

[Howie]

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.

^^ You can get it at a Ford Parts centre, I can't recall the part number,

But they should know exactly what your talking about!
