Or you could fix the issue with the gauges...

Typically the boost gauge messes up because of a split vacuum line coming out of the plenum of dry-joint in the MAP sensor (about 30 seconds to fix).

The factory MAP sensor itself is surprisingly accurate, it's just a shame the gauge itself doesn't display particularly accurately because it's not linear and doesn't have adequate markings.

The voltage gauge shouldn't break, and the oil temp sensor would only require a new sender (should be easy enough to pick up).

yes it is only the boostgauge that is playing up...

have been told that this section of dash in the non turbo is not removable..??? its built in???

just after a different look for the car...

For legality, keep the guage pods and throw aftermarket guages in them.

Just waiting on mine to rock up to cop the Defi treatment :P

Yeah as jrm said.. it's probably not the gauge that's broken..

And if you really want to change.. I said the whole dash... So take your whole dash off.. and replace it with the N/A dash..

Why waste that money when you can buy some guages that are actually accurate (the stock ones are f*cking rubbish) and just fit them to the spot provided.

Each to their own, but seems like you're looking at it all wrong.

Someone will definitely swap you your dash for their NA one though, coz they're so much better.

Alternatively, you could get the flip-up for navigation version of the middle dash piece here, take out the display and glue it down.. Then mount whatever gauges you wanted on top... probably easier than using the N/A version ..

Hey mate, not sure why you would do this - I would just replace the gauges with aftermarket ones.

If you are 100% certain you want to do it I have changed from the 'pop-up screen' to the 3 gauge cluster with my own gauges in it. When I imported the car I had the pop-up screen option except there was no screen in there so effectively its just a replacement panel if that makes sense. You are welcome to have it and just give it a lick of paint then fasten your 3 freestanding gauges onto it.

hey man.. not sure what piece it is that you have....??? you think you could take a photo of what you have and pm it to me...??? if

its what im after i will buy it off you...??

    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
