Pillar mounted gauges are a defect due to obscuring vision just so you know.

I have 4 blitz gauges mounted on my dash, about the same height as my steering wheel, which is still a defect depending on the cop you get so I guess it doesn't really matter. The only place to really put them legally is mounted into the dash where the climate controls are but I don't consider this to be the best place to casually flick your eyes to while driving, I'd prefer to be able to keep both eyes on the road and cop it sweet if they decide to defect me for them. Good luck! :D

yah i know abt the defect.

But i have a autogauge boost gauge pillar mount and the cop doesn't seem to be bothered with it.

or maybe is because is just one.

i'm just thinking of places to place it to look good. :D

Comments and suggestions welcome~

Why don't you get the DEFI din gauge setup.

3 gauges in a single din unit, and you can sit them under/above the stereo space, depending on what car you have.

Look a lot more neater and subtle, but are still tough.

I've attached some pictures for you to have a look..

Pillar mount looks stupid, gauges hanging off the side of your door!

Thanks,

Abu

That's on a R34 though Daniel, it looks great but believe me it's hard to find a gauge holder that fits an R33, been looking for one for my 4 Blitz 60mm gauges for ages now ;) which is why currently they're all mounted on the top of the dash

ahh wasnt aware u had a 33

yes there are very hard to find.

something like abus previous comment looked good imo

go for something like that :worship:

best of luck pal make sure to post pics when its done

cheers

The cleanest and best look is to make a custom triple gauge plate / holder and have them in the din pocket under the climate control. Looks tacky haning off the pillar especially three.

And if you have 4? :sleep:

Cheers Daniel I'll put pics up soon hopefully.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
