I'm going to mould a fibreglass one soon to fit 3 gauges where the factory screen and controls go. Aiming for the r34 look.

If it turns out alright I will make a few.

That's been a plan of mine for a long time, but just lack a work space to do it. I just grabbed Craig's on steering column mount though so prob won't worry about it.

I will make a few. I now have to cut it out and work out how to mount it.

So far all the hard work is done. Moulding extras would be easy and would not cost much, although I had to ruined my old original stereo/screen surround to make the mould, so I would like to cover the cost of that from the first couple.

I think the question is how much would.you pay?

Tough call, I wouldn't want to offend by going too low, but no-one has a problem with you making a fair profit for your effort & getting yourself a replacement surround.

You have a market also with the V35 guys too so that may help cover cost.

Of course they will only need to mount a vacuum gauge for tip top fuel economy, & a pair of volt gauges to ensure their neons aren't drawing too much current...

How about I make 5. Put them on eBay and let you guys bid on them? Lol

I have altered the mould a little bit. I was not 100% happy with the first one. Next one will be better.

Will post pics up of the next one, once its finished, including cut out and painted.

They look so awesome and I want them...but I'll never be able to check how green my leaf is again. So I'm torn.

I've got a boost gauge smashed in the drivers side dash vent hole, but soon I'll need another place to put the a/f gauge, what should I get for the 3rd pod hole?

Oil pressure or oil temp or even auto trans temp are a good idea.

If you ditch the leaf I have a new Nismo dash that would look great beside your new gauges. :P

    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
    • Did this ever go further ? Would love some updated info
