are pillar mount gauge pods illegal?

[Steve]

Depends on where on the pillar its mounted. Tim Ireland told me if its on the pillar, as long as its no where the head can reach its ok. Went on to say they are otherwise illegal due to an increased risk of head injury in an accident (Of course it will Tim, just before your head goes through the A pillar)

[Dahtone Racing]

they are illegal if any part of the gauge or mount is higher than the highest point of the cars dash board.

[Steve]

2GU UP 2, how long have you been conversant with the SA Road traffic act? who told you this?

It would be interesting who at regency think they can overrule Tim Ireland, seeing as he is the head of the place and answers directly to the transport minister.

sorry man thats the law in NSW i assumed it would be the same everywhere else.

whooo i installed my power up 2 stage boost controll this week end

I cant boost it up yet because my boost gauge has not arived yet

dose any one know what 7 mmhg's on the factory boost gauge = in PSI

and also doese it matter which vaulve on the dsbc you use for the low and high settings

thanx guys you have been a great help so far

[Steve]

7 equates to approx 13.5psi.

[skidmark]

that would be 2 high for ceramic turbo and standard IC hey i have boosted it to that

now but i cant feal a great deal of gain

[Steve]

According to some sources, the stock intercooler can be responsible for up to 7psi drop at higher revs, so this means you are actually producing 20psi boost to see 13 at the plenum.

I wouldnt do it. Keep the boost around 10psi with a stock cooler if you want the turbo to last. This is pretty much the safe limit for a R33, may be a bit different for a 32 though.

[skidmark]

i think the r32 is 7 psi stock is this right

can any one put me in contact with RPM i need a tune and are riinging around for quotes i cant find there ph # though

[Steve]

sorry dont know.

Highly recommend you just find a good tuner and pay them whatever they want to do a good tune - if you get bargain prices, you get a 'bargain' tune - think about it, if someone asked you to do a tune, and it would cost you say $500 of your time, but they only wanted to pay $200, would you still do a full tune, or just a $200 dollar tune?

I have found you get what you pay for, and the sweet taste of a cheap tune will wear off pretty quickly when the car isnt running the way you know it should. I had to learn the hard way:p

[skidmark]

yeh i was only going to talk to the top tuners eg boostworx teilbrooks and rpm and maby

morpower i dont know yet i havnt herd much of them

im not so much worryed about the price i was going to ring them tell them what i want ask them a few questions and se which had the best customer service and most willing to help

i hate it when mechanics snub you off and try keep you in the dark soon as that happens i usualy pull my car right out and go to the next shop

i had one place want to pull my steering rack out and send it to melb to get recond but i did not belive there was any thing wrong with it so i took it to bedders in modbry and the said that it was fine all the other namless place wanted was a few extra bucks i think

but me no that silly

[skidmark]

i think i might go for boost wrks but then i knew i would

they seemj real helpfull
