Heya All,

OK I have tried the for sale section and am having no luck so thought i would try so place a bit more locally.

As I am buying the blue lit up dash in the group buy i was wondering if anyone has a 60mm boost gauge that also lights up blue that they might be selling so it can match my new dash! (hey i have to have at least one piece of rice on my car! :-) ) so if you are or know anywhere that has got some nice cheap 60mm boost gauges lying around please let me know :-)

Thanks All!

Dan

If anybody else has one thats in good nick let me know as I am still chasing after one but will go and check at auto pro next weekend

I may have some of the little blue condom things. If I do you can have 'em.

Dan, I've got the exact same "rice" that you talk about. Cept I used an HKS Direct Bright 60mm boost gauge to match my dash and can tell you now, the HKS meter is a lot brighter and bluer than my dash on full glow and full blue setting. Would be hard to match perfectly but I love my HKS gauge all the same. You'll be surprised what it costs to get brand new....I got for about $250 with pillar holder brand new from greenline....not that expensive in my opinion....it's mechanical of course....just more food for thought....

super cheap sell boost guages, picked one up for my skyline cheap there

80$ i think is what it cost me

just white face guage, cup holder,

when you wire it in , you can press a little button that makes it change 1 of 10 colors , red, white , blue , light blue, good guage

did the job, but wasnt lighthouse bright ,t he light was in the lower left hand corner of the screen

you can always print out the apexi logo color it in red, and paste it on the guage

Sweeeeet! Awesome feedback!

Which HKS meter is it? I already have an A pilar for it to go into.

Hippy - which Apexi boost gauge is it? Trying to keep around the $100 mark (still paying off a $7000 engine rebuild!!!) can prob go a little bit higher for apexi boost gauge

MarkR33 - your a champ will also check it out over the weekend...that sounds very good!

Any of the auto meter spitfire whatever brand guage with the condoms just look week when compared with the ID or EL type jap brands, i really dont care about looks but when going for guages the jap brands are much more easier to read at night

Dan - i got my Apexi gauge brand new for abt AUD150... if ure not in a hurry, i'll be back in Perth on the 15th so i could look for something for u here if u want :)

im in Msia at the moment and came across 2 used Defi meters (white face - boost & ex temp) with controller for just over AUD200 hahah helps that the current exchange rate is 3 to 1 or something like that

go to motorquipe or repco they have the autometer look alike gauges that light up 7 colours or you can get the el face blue one

i used to have a 52mm one but you can get 60mm

yep what rspct said , same guage i was talking about looks good, if you ever sell your car you wont get that much more with brand name guages, sell it to some young punk dazzle him with some , WHOOSH and some PSSSHHT and he will forget the brand of your guages

give him some stickers with it aswell, like the ones you see on the front of 86 pulsars like NISMO / Tuned by HKS , give him some of those and youll get your moneys worth :)

thats if your only selling your car :) sorry to ramble

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
