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

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:

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
