To all S14/S15/R32/R34 Coupe/Subaru Impreza owners,

Over the past few months, I have been designing and fabricating fibreglass gauge pods for the R33 Skyline and S13 series cars (see pics HERE). I have been selling a few of the R33 pods here on this forum (check out my Trader Rating :laugh: ) but have recently come to an agreement with an Eastern States company (www.JustSR.com) that they will distribute the R33 & S13 gauge pods. We both hope the range will be expanded to include the S14 & S15 models and also R32 & R34 Skylines as well as all model WRXs.

I am currently trying to source any owners in Perth (preferably NOR) that have an S14, S15, R32, R33 4 door, R34 Coupe, Subaru Impreza - All models and doesn't have to be WRX) available that I can use either at my residence or even yours as a base to make the gauge pod design for those models. I wholly understand anybody's reluctance to loan an unknown person their car - I have already loaned several cars from Autoworx in Wangara (Perth-based Japanese car importers) over several weekends and I would freely invite anyone to contact Paul Hewitt at Autoworx for a reference on how well I looked after his cars. Any car that may be stored at my house will sit aside my highly modified R33 in the locked garage and will not be driven AT ALL. See feedback post from "play r 32" below (post #6)

At 31 years old and a business person, I'm not just a young 'hoon' and I regard myself as a very professional person to deal with and take a lot of respect for others and their property.

If you are seriously interested (no spams please), please email me for more information. I am prepared to offer a free gauge pod when they are finished or monetary compensation for the use of your car.

Regards,

Alan

you champion, a relative of mine has an s15, dunno how interested he'd be about leaving his car at sumone else house cos i get hit for even touching it but i know he is extremly keen on one of these ever sinse he saw one at paul's, and yes paul speaks very highly of you!!! expect an email from him asap!!!

regards

Thanks to those people who contacted me recently - an R32 Skyline is no longer required. I have R32 GTR sitting in my garage as I speak and have a R32 Gts-t for a few days this week.

I am however, still trying to source an S14(or S14a)/S15/R34 and ANY model Subaru Impreza (doesn't have to be a WRX - they all have the same dash shape).

Cheers,

Alan

I just found out that the 4 door versions are slightly different to the 2 door versions. The pod I have made for the R34 is for a 4 door model, so I now want to source a R34 2 door for a weekend. If you are interested, please contact me.

Also - I'm STILL after a S15 200SX as well

I lent my pride and Joy to Allan for a couple of days so i can vouch for his professionalism. My car was safely locked away the whole time and even came back cleaner than when i dropped it off. :huh:

just in case anyone is in 2 minds about lettin there baby out of there sight.

I realised the other day that have I a friend that recently bought a MY04 WRX (model previous to the current/new one), but it would be good if can source a GC-GF chassis based Impreza as well (MY94-MY00).

Nizmo - yeah I'm patient. I've got a Mazda3 MPS and an S14 to finish over the next couple of weekends anyway. I'm in no rush.

Please help me out here - Does no-one own a R34 that they can part with for a weekend???

I've now loaned a total of NINE cars from various people and have earned the reputation that I can be trusted to loan your car.

Oh and I'd also llike to find a R33 Sedan too :(

After many months of lamenting of not being able to source an R34 coupe, I had one for this weekend and managed to make a single AND double gauge pod.

The bad news is that due to lack of funds to get they won't be available for about 2-3 months. In the last 6-7 months I have 31 gauge designs that I have made for various model cars and they all take time and money to mould and fabricate.

See link in the first post for website link & pics of the R34 coupe designs though. I will post updates when the Skyline pods will become available.

Hey Alan,

Im back from holidays if you want a lend of the impreza again :laugh: Should've made it last weekend - being a long weekend it did nothing but sit in the garage .... ubt i didnt think of it sorry! :)

Thanks Lauren but I am getting married in 2 1/2 weeks time so gauge pod work will be halted for a while. I have been incredibly busy and have a total of 31 designs that have been prototyped. I just need to raise the funds to get all moulds completed, but all Skyline models are a priority :happy:

I will be in contact if I need the Liberty again

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
