you want to install an aftermarket tacho or boost gauge and have it only light up? :S

Or are you talking about a turbo cluster with the stock boost gauge? if so it will light up anyway....... I seriously hope that is what you meant

y the hell would you want to do this????

seriously i hate people that get all these useless gauges just for looks.

Do you have stickers of brands you dont have up the side of your car also?

i bet your the kinda guy who puts on veilside body kits and thinks it helps with your cars aero dynamics along with a 20 foot drift wing

You should be able to gain the power required with a 1.2 jiggawatt flux capacitor.. But to ensure you have no problems i would look at also attaching a GTR badge... They stablise the force allowing you to get to a constant 88mph

Can you wire a turbo gauge or tacho so that they only light up without being connected to the engine, because its a n/a and is there for only looks??

Also will that have any effect on the battery and engine or vice versa????

dont do it man, it will eat away at your block and cause a colossal engine failure, i would know, i did it to my VN

Mohsen is right. It creates cavatation within the cooling system. Every time your tacho lights up, the oxygen particles in ur cooling system colapse rapidy causing extream wear to the walls of the water galleries.

A way around this problem may be to disconnect your brake booster and go for a high speed drive. Let us all know if this solves your problem.

And if you are in dick smith asking about the power seperating flux capacitor you need to ask them for a blue one. The blue ones contain a more stable anti protein. Nissans respond better to this type of flux capacitor

I LOLD. Sig Worthy!

No idea why on earth you would even want to do this, beyond the fact that it would essentially be a non functioning ornament.

      Perhaps just get a proper mechanic who is good with Nissan autos (they were more or less the same across all the RWD, FWD, 4WD cars at that time, even if they were actually different boxes) to give it a good going over. He might be able to plug in a Consult or other scan tool and find out if it's got some fault codes. Otherwise, my approach to the problem if not liking the way the auto was workign behind my RB20 turbo, was to drop it on the workshop floor and put in the manual box that it really needed. That solved all the auto problems.

      Gotcha, I mean that is at least good to hear. Are there signs, or troubleshooting tips to make sure the transmission is operating properly?

      I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
