why not just remove your cigarette lighter and socket, shave the hole diameter a poofteenth more, and 'slide in' a nice 2 inch Speco guage with a black bezel.

Bung in a Dick Smith BLUE L.E.D with a 300ohm resistor in series inside, instead of the stock dorky globe and................Total Class!!

Mine looks nice!! I'll put picks up if u want.

And... as a bonus............you can actually read the guage when in 2nd, 4th and 5th Gears!!!

NB. In the real world, you're not "checkin' out da boost" all of your driving time, only every now and again just to see how your baby is going.

If u need to look at it all the time, then maybe, you shouldn't drive around where other people are co-existing!!!!! :wassup:

i've looked into that idea superspit, would be a VERY sloe fit to get the 2" guages in there!!

have you already done it??

all done, not difficuly at all, as the ashtray and facia area come out soooo easy. The cuting of the cig lighter diameter is the slowest bit......but done, it can be!!

Feedding the little airpipe is a breaze too. I took out the glove box and ........found the engine bay grommet. easy install Craved. (1 hour total)

2"Speco Guage $45.00 complete!!

give it some thought!

If they are gonna defect you for having gauges on the a-pillar then every taxi in australia is defectable coz they have there LCD screen thing there.

Placing gauges on a-pillar does not block ur line of sight either, coz cops try use that bs also, unless u got a bigass monster tach there.

Last time i got defected they defected me for having my safc mounted on the dash above the middle 2 air vents coz apparently that blocks my vision :) but didnt say anything about gauges on my

a-pillar.

Cool, it keeps it out of sign from the fuzz aswell.

They see a cluster of gauges and BOOM the red and blues are on and your walking home funny.

      WTB: R34 S2 Front grill (this guy is asking mental prices)

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Looking for a S2 front grill for an R34 GT/GTT Doesn’t have to be in excellent condition as I’m looking to paint it. Would preferred if the clips were around.    The $500 this marketplace guy is asking sounds ridiculous in my opinion.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)

      Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 1999

      For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
