Hi mate, seeing as you bought the guage off me I thought I best shed some light on the installation process.

I own a R33, but most Nissans and particulary Skylines are all generic.

Most skylines in the drivers side wheel arch have the wiring loom bung which connects the fusebox in your kickpanel, next to the accelator to the fusebox under the bonnet.

If you turn your wheel full lock right and remove the inner guard plastic thing (if you have one) you will see some black plastic piping along with some other assorted wires (most likely aftermarket alarm wires)

If you pull the bung out you will have access to your cabin, this is how I have set mine up.

I suggest getting a coathanger, cutting it, and zipting the vac hose to one end of it and poking it thru, (screwdriver or any other long non-bending thing works well too)

Then its just simply a matter of hooking it up under your bonnet, then running the vac to your gauge where ever it is in your cabin and ziptieing the excess hose out of the way from sight and feet near the pedals!

Goodluck any other questions shoot me PM or post here!

I might mention to get it into your drivers side wheel arch, you need to run it back towards the firewall behind the RHS strut tower, you will find a few holes there, or just a large one just run it thru there,

One other thing, ziptie it to your loom, so it doesn't come loose and hang onto your tire and wear thru (or get ripped out)
