hi,

Need some help reinstalling an Apexi boost gauge in my Skyline.

It was previously installed, then removed by dodgy bros inc..who didn't know how to connect it back so I figured I'd do it myself.

- can someone tell me how to access the parking light wire to repower it?

- where does the 3 way piece join to on the engine bay?

I've only a single piece of hose pipe connected to the little air filter supplied, I'm guessing by the dirt that this is the part that connects the air filter to the 3way pipe. Car isn't here atm but I'm guessing the pipe from the drivers door to the engine bay is still attached. Will check tomorrow.

Thanks heaps, this is the last piece of the puzzle before my ride is complete!

i just t-pieced my boost guage into the wire for the std one... there's a lil black box on the fire wall, in the engine bay, in fornt of the driver... it's got an electrical wire and a vacuum line... as for the lights... havn't done that myself yet but will do soon... :( all the rest of what you wrote (about the airfilter and pipe) has got me lost :?

easiest way to get the lighting without even lookin for "the light wire" is to just get it of the light wire from the cigarette light ... splice it and get it from there .. easy :( ... i gotta thank enricco palazzo for that one, as well as installing the boost gauge and the bleeder for me :)

the airfilter - the hose from the gauge to the t-piece is actually in 2 parts with a little plastic thing in between. According to the Apexi instructions it's an air filter thing..I guess it keeps the gauge free of crap?

    • Nah, you failed to pay your washer cover subscription and BMW have revoked your access.
    • Haha thanks Lith,  So it's currently working quite well and the torque reduction is setup and working phenomenal. It also got a custom torque convertor from All Fast in WA. Stall speed somewhere around 5500rpm unlocked but still with the lockup. The car went back onto the dyno after a 3yr hiatus (even with the dbw, and other mods completed in this time) managed to make ~515kw at all 4 hubs. Sean setup the Torque reduction which now sounds awesome and working well. We setup adjustable torque controlled launch control aswell.  Man what a feature. Especially when drag racing on street tyres I Managed to get out to the drags late last year and tick a huge bucket list item off of running mine and the cars first 9. Car went a 9.98 @142 Still had the young fellas car seat in the back aswell.  This was on 255/40/17 Nankang AR-1.  Currently the Turbolamik is still completing it's own torque calcs and managing shift times from there. Unfortunately emtrons can export is still a little restrictive to export the ecu calculated torque just yet but I have recently been suggested a work around that I just haven't had a chance to trial yet.     
    • Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.  
    • f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
