life isnt that hard.... get a screw driver.. remove the screws on the underside of the steering column surround, pull it apart, put your controller inside.. good luck getting it in there and then put the cover back on and use your screw driver again.

How many days have you had now to work it out yourself?

Seriously, it's not hard. I have no idea how to do it, and I can guarantee that if I had my head under the steering column of my car for as long as it took me to write this reply, I would have worked it out.

Put your head down low about bottom of seat level and facing towards the front of the car. Put one of your arms out and under the dash beside the steering column. Then lift your hand up until it touches something, feel around but be careful. You should soon be able to find a place to put it. When you find a place, repeat the above but with the boost controller in your hand, attached double-sided tape between the controller and whatever place you find. Press firmly for about 10seconds. You're ALMOST done. Take your head and body out from the car floor/bottom of seat.

ie. There is nothing to remove next to the steering column, it is all OPEN.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By hardsteppa · Posted

      Not sure if you're being serious? I, and all the car people i know, ALWAYS use a torque wrench for wheel nuts. I assumed any car person, apart from tyre centre monkeys with rattle gun in hand, would do it properly.  Anyway, no further reply from me on this unless legit discussion from OP or his query so, over to you, knock yerself out.

      I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.

      Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.

      gauge needle removal

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
