Hi all,

I need your help here, and any feedback is appreciated.

I've gone to see and rung a few mechanics and auto electricians and a majority don't know how to fix the problem with my boost gauge. The boost gauge works sometimes and other times doesn't work. I don't want to tamper with the control sensor, just worried I'll brake something.

Does anyone know a good auto electrician that is also reasonably priced?

Also, I've had a service on my car, what brake pads are best suited for the Skyline R34 GTT? If the stock ones are the best, what type are they? Or does anyone know a good and trust worthy mechanic?

Thanks so much!

there are plenty of brake pads suitable for your skyline. which are best, or at least suitable for you depends on what you use your car for. if you go to track days then you would want something better than if you are simply using it as a daily driver.

as for the boost gauge, have you checked to make sure that the vaccum line is intact? other than that, do a search on here for a thread about how to fix it. if you aren't comfortable with doing the work yourself you could print out the instructions and take them to an auto electrician, or anyone that does electrical repairs for that matter, and have them do it for you.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
