Hehe, yeah it was a bit pricey. But the end result speaks for itself, plus I'm not the most confident of people when it comes to D.I.Y

As this is a car I'll be pretty much planning on keeping for years to come I'm taking the approach of doing it right the first time to save any hassles down the track

Hey guys.

I picked up some gauges recently to evaluate for market with the express intention of mounting them in the standard location.

They are "Defi Style" gauges with peak recall, smoked face, etc etc etc.

Anywho, they are 60mm and lot and behold the fit EXACTLY, and I mean EXACTLY in the opening in the standard 3 gauge hood!! Bonus!

Here are a couple of pics. They aren't wired in yet, that's for my sparky, but they are installed and all the cables are run.

To hold them in place I bent up a piece of 25mm wide mild steel and put some nutserts in there to hold the bolts in.

Hey Bass,

where did u get those defi gauges from? Keep us posted on ur progress, i'd like to see the gauges in car and working as im looking for similar type of gauges since my factory boost gauge has been playing up lately.

Hi mate,

I'm evaluating these gauges for quality and accuracy before I bring them to market.

Can tell you my source just yet, but they have the peak recall, warning light, opening ceremony etc etc.

I will definitely let you guys know and post pics and videos once they are running.

My boost gauge was "intermittent" in it's working condition.....

    • 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. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • 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?
