V-Spec Gtr Boost Gauge

[Hadouken]

Hey SAU.

Before you flame me you might like to know that I have spent an entire day searching google, and I even went through every single DIY on this forum and found nada.

For a R33 GTR

All I would like to know is, can I buy a aftermarket boost gauge and use the stock hardware and then mount it in the stock position?

If this is possible what gauge would I need to utilize? i.e defi, blitz and is the gauge 52mm?

Thank you all

I don't see why not...

Many ppl have replaced the stock Boost Gauge with an aftermarket one in the stock position.

I assume it is just a matter of removing the stock one out and connecting up the aftermarket one and putting it back in.

Just measure the diametre of the stock gauge and find an aftermarket one with the same / similar measurements.

I have an aftermarket boost gauge, but is mounted behind the steering wheel.

And all there is, is just an air hose (to read boost pressure) and a electronic wire to tap in to the wiring / light electronics so when I switch on my lights, the boost gauge lights up aswell.

Thats what i want to find. I dont want to put screw holes in the dash or mount them anywhere it looks much neater if you find one the correct size which fits in original position. Im very fussy with my car lol

You would be able to mount it in the stock position for sure, but I don't know about using the stock wiring and sensor if that's what you're asking? I doubt the stock wiring harness will plug into any aftermarket gauges, and the stock sensor is notoriously inaccurate. Wiring is very easy anyway, why use 15 year old wiring and sensors when you can get brand new stuff with the gauge you buy? Takes an hour to install neatly.
