Hi, just thought i would post this question here too since to see if i can get some answers from stagea owners

Check out this thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Di...gi-t238927.html

I dont want to go the standard tack on gauge pod in the stagea since:

1. i want to keep the dash simple

2. the usual DIN slot where people put gauges isnt really suitable

3. i dont really want a gauge pod, for appearance, and as not to draw attention

Do you have a Boost controller?

sorry the only reason i ask is because they will give you your boost guage aswell. I had mine installed in the glove box and its fairly neat and tucked away. if i want to see what is going on i just drop the glove box down and move aside the paperwork i have over it. but then again you will still need your presure line and a few wires to your solenoid. ill take a pic later and post i up for ya.

no, no boost controller as yet. im holding off an electronic boost controller system for the moment because of money and insurance. but i will experiment with the boost solenoid piping, and so a gauge is a must.

even EBCs leave you with the problem of the display being right out of sight, down near the DIN slots or ash tray. id like something small in my heads-up field of view

Google turned up heaps of digital pressure gauges but they are around $400 - $500 and that's without a remote sender unit!!

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
