I’m putting a swoosh boost gauge in my R32 GTR

Referring to the attached photo any tips on what I can put where?

I was going to do it like this but would appreciate any better ideas

Red (B+) = straight to the Bat +

Black (ground) = to any earth

Orange? I’m not sure about?

Yellow (ACC) = to the Cigarette lighter +

Brown (small lamp) I’m not sure about?

Below is all I can find

There are 5 wires that come from the gauge:

Red wire - find a power source that ALWAYS has power going to it.

Black is ground - no explanation needed

Brown - dimmer switch basically. Find a wire that turns on only when you turn on your headlights/parking lights

Yellow is for the ACC key switch - any wire that gets power when you turn your key to the ACC position

Orange is for the "ON" the car power line that will not be disconnected at start of engine, from key switch - pretty much explains it. I'm assuming they added this wire to your gauge because it has a start-up function. Because I don't see why else you would need 2 different ign sources

U can find all those wires easily in the main harness for the radio and the park light signal from the light that goes around the cig lighter.

Not sure about the orange wire though although u can join it with the yellow and put it on a switched source which does not cut when starting.

U will need a multimeter or a test light to verify...... other wise go to the professionals!!!

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
