Maybe you guys are forgetting the fact that he said its a GTT. I hardly find the stock volt guage useful. Since the stock dash already has oil pressure I'd keep the oil temp guage in the stock cluster and change the boost guage to a better one and the volt gauge to water temp.

Im in the process of changing the guages as well..

Already got the defi boost guage on the a-pillar and will get Oil pressure, Oil temp and exhuast temp when the time comes..

was thinking of getting water temp but thats on pfc handcontroller so decided against it.

vacuum/boost gauge - it shows if there are any "boost" leaks

a/f gauge - see whether your sensors are working properly and that your car is getting the optimal fuel to air ratio at various RPMS

oil pressure - only if you're doing serious work and have changed the oil pump or anything oil system related

oh oh dont forget. the MONSTER TACHO BRO! with a "hectic" shift light, you really need one of those because your car doesnt already come with a tacho standard or anything....

wouldnt it be better to change the guages or add more relevant ones if the car has been modified heaps and is used for track days and that kinda shit?

The only use i see for these guages (if the car is not modified) is that they tend to raise the female curiosity (my friend regularly gets women looking at his wrx at night because of how the cabin is illuminated by the guages - but his car is modded heaps)

if you are tuning

exhaust temp

wideband af ratio

if you arent

stock boost is fine

stock oil is fine

maybe oil temperature

stock oil is not fine :thumbsup: its very common for the sender to f**k up in the r32/33 (not sure about r34); then you sometimes very values of almost zero and other times its fine :verymad:

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
