yeh u can defiantly do that, theres a DIY article in a recent auto salon mag.........or was it HPI.....i dunno.

basically u just rip out the old one and stick in the new one, and run leads through ur car.

ull properly notice that after market gauges are alot bigger aswell so u might have to carve ur existing gauge pillar a lil

Those Blitz gauges look so good..

Damn they look hot! Would they be 52mm or 60mm gauges? Hard to tell if they are flush or sitting out from the pics (a bit dark).

Getting a 34GT-T this week, thinking I might try this as one of my first projects over the next month :thumbsup:

I went with a stock like fitting.

52 mm guages bought from just jap.

The guys that installed them for me made a custom backing plate to fit the guages to the guage pod properly.

If I could do it again I wouldn't have chosen a smoked face guage as they are a little hard to see during the day, but at night they look so good :cool:

Thanks Yo-Yo, they look pretty good. I was keen on getting the 60mm saber gauges but just not sure how they would look fitted in there as compared to the 52mm ones. Anyone got pics of 60mm gauges fitted in the cluster?

EDIT: My bad saw some of the pics above of the DEFIs installed and im guessing they are 60mm ones. They look a bit funny sticking out of the cluster though...

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
