Hey Guys,

I am wanting to know if I should replace my cluster with individual guages or get a Nismo dash instead?

All I want is guages to be accurate so I know exactly what is going on in the enginebay and don't want to add heaps of extra guages if I don't have to.

Cheers

Troy

I've had a standard dash and now a NISMO LCD dash in my 33, and while the tacho is accurate, the speedo is slightly out (I think that might be the wheels I'm running tho, or possibly another factor), the fuel gauge is good enough, and the water temp gauge is not accurate at all. I love my GReddy water temp gauge, its sooo handy and you dont realise how inaccurate the factory gauge is until you have an aftermarket one.

It also saved my motor yesterday when I popped a coolant bypass hose. Noticed it was running hotter then normal and was able to pull over and shut it off before I did any damage. The stock gauge hadnt even moved :D

Hope that helps! Thats my personal experience anyway

keep the standard dash dude. no point upgrading.

get an oil temp and oil pressure guage and u should be sweet.

if u have an aftermarket ecu put the hand controller where u can see it and it will tell u everything u need to know

    • Nah, just take the other one off too 
    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
