Hi Guys doe's anyone know which site to go on for directions on taking apart the r34 dash and 3 pod guages as i am installing blue leds in the dash ??????

Please any info would be good.

Don't know where directions are...

but you start by pulling out the ash tray & unscrewing the one screw behind it, you'll need to unclip the cig lighter aswell.

Then get a very thin flathead screwdriver & wedge it in between where the air con vents meet the sidewall of the console & VERY gently pry the air con vents out, again unclip the plug for the hazard lights. This should reveal 4 screws, 2 on top & 2 on bottom that holds the air con unit & radio/DIN.

To get the 3 pod holder off just unscrew the 2 screws holding it in place & slide the holder out.

Hope that helps

1.Remove the ash tray,unscrew the screw behind there

2.flip up the gear stick surrounding(right hand corner,near the hand break)unclip the switch that activates the stearing wheel option)

3.unscrew the screws ethor side of the center consol at the back(on the side)two more at the front( you will see them once you take of the gear stick surrounding

4.unclip the air vents with the hazzard light switch(unclip the switch

5.then to unclip the surrounding to the air con buttons,pull the hot/cold switch off,unscrew the nut behind the hot/cold switch,unclip the surrounding(be very careful the clips break easily,as do the air con buttons)undo 4 screws holding the air con in

6.now two screws holding the tree piece gauge cluster,undo them then remove

7. open the glovebox all the way,undo the two screws holding that in

8.undo the air vents at the side of the dash(just unclip)be very careful as the clips can break easily(from memory the are bolts behind the air vents

9.same as the air vent above(and the other side aswell)

10.section under the stearing wheel,from memory there are about four screws in each corner(the unclip the switchs

11.the smaller peice,which is under/above the stearing wheel(four more screws,then unclip)

12.then the plastic section around the speedo,two screws on up the top,one in the left corner ,hen unclip(four screws holding the speedo in,then remove)

13.middle section were the stereo sits,there's screws some were,cant rember were,but you should be able to see them,then remove it

14.thats about as far as i go, you might get some info on the passenger side airbag before you go any further,you dont want that to go off

im,sure someone eles can add the missing sections,but from the you should be able to work the rest out

Bloody hell.

I simply got a coat hanger, bend a small hook on one end, stuck it through the aircon centre vent and pulled. Out comes the vent.

Unscrew the two screws, remove the 3 gauge pod.

So it's that easy ? I want to install Sabre guages in the 3 guage bezel to replace the ugly stock ones.

I replaced my stock gauges with 3 autogauge smoke series gauges a few weeks ago. Took me a few hours to get everything done including wiring, wasnt really that difficult if you arent scared to fiddle around with the wiring. I'll try to take some pics of what it looks like and get them up.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
