Check out Mearcat (he's on the forums): He makes some fantastic guage pods specifically for C34 Stageas: I use both pods: a single guage on the dash near the a-pillar, and a double guage pod that replaces the factory clock: they are very well made, and look great: very neat!

I'll post pics tomorrow...

hey guys after input on where to put sum gauges in my stag pictures would be good

I put in a single Din head unit and mounted three gauges in the space, also have my boost gauge in the A/C vent in dash on D/S.

I have my boost gauge on the dash next to the a pillar, hasn't caused me any problems yet. Only stuck there with a bit of double sided tape as well and there haven't been any holes drilled, so it's easy to change its location if I have to.

Can sort of see it in this pic

Thats cool in the centre vent. Think I will do the 25G that way. Wont need a boost until son gets a full licence, by then we will have all the goodies required.

Yes please. I have my boost guage in the RH centre vent but don't really want to lose the whole vent. I would like oil pressure and temp as well and poss water temp (stock one is not very accurate).

I've only got a single-DIN stereo now, so I mounted Exhaust Temp, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure between the stereo and the HVAC controls (I managed to get an off-cut of 1cm thick thermo-plastic and cut the holes with a hole-saw), and Boost in a single Mearcat clock-replacement pod.

I installed an Innovative Motorsports wideband O2 sensor last week. Didn't want to drill holes in the dash and not sure how permanent it will be, so I ziptied it to the vent under the windscreen. Looks fine, doesn't get in the way and fairly stable. The clamp that comes with it is way too tall and chunky.

Hmmm JDMSprit's and Goldzilla's gauges look awesome :)

Sorry: Stag went to the workshop again, as I managed to collect my new daily: next week I'll have pics of the full Mearcat setup: They look great in the "flesh"- sit nicely, and require no holes to be drilled.

I was rather hesitant doing what I did. I had them double sided taped there for a while but the heat kept making the tape let go and I got rather annoyed so I took my time cutting the holes as flush as possible and Sikaflex'd them from the underside. As a plus it made the cups sit a good 4-5mm lower as the column cover is a good 2.5mm thick. I do plan on picking up a spare cover for what ever reason I feel like selling the car or removing the gauges in future. :)

      R34 power steering

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I have done smoke test and can’t see any leak on high or low side.   checked pump and fluid can flow through. Removed the high pressure from steering and did smoke test and same on low side, no leak.   puzzled. Thinking why if it was all ok it suddenly went as car was off road for a year. Don’t want to disassemble pump yet as i can see fluid / air( compressor) can flow through with no issues

      Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
