looks good man, trying to get the motivation to do mine. were they much of a pain to fit

Mate it was very simple to do. All you need to do is remove the stock gauges (which is a single unit) and mount the new ones in its place. The ones I got are 52mm and fit in really easily behind the stock plastic window. All I needed to use was a very small amount of 3M double sided tape to keep them in place. It was my first attempt and only took me around 1/2 hr to complete (not hooked up yet tho). The boost gauge mount is off Ebay, $65 from WA.

I'm with you there mate, but I'm not sure how accurate the standard sensors are? I know Nismo use to make replacement gauges that just pluged straight in, maybe you could find a set of those?... The boost gauge was piss easy, I just put the T piece on the vacume hose between the BOV and the intake plenum. The Oil pressure and Oil temp should be easy enough using a sandwich plate. A mate of mine is a auto electrician so I'll get him to hook up the wiring and volt gauge.

Connecting them up is easy as pie, guys. Took me about 45 minutes to do all 5 of mine (boost, water temp, oil temp, oil pressure, wideband AFR), and I'm OCD when it comes to neat wiring so I took extra time making it all perfect.

How'd you hook it up mate? I've heard of people using the cigarette lighter to cut into but I only want my gauges to light up when the lights are turned on. When I pulled off the steering wheel trim to take a look at the wiring I had no idea what I was looking at lol :wacko:

If you want to do it simply, tap into the wire going to the light around the cigarette lighter. That's better than splicing the cigarette lighter direct anyway, as it can overload if you use a GPS or phone charger or anything like that and blow fuses.

I used to have mine like that, but have since redone them to be tapped into the headlight switch wire. Requires knowledge of a multimeter.

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By Milkmun · Posted

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
