u wouldn't happen to have a spell-checker would u

but in response, if u have a multi-meter, stick the probs onto some of the points on the oxy sensor, when u touch the right 2 (i think there is only 3) u should see the voltage move up and down, give her some revs and she should fluctuate all over the shop, then do a test hookup of the gauge, if its reading right then u've done it.

the pipe for the boost/vac is located on the rear of the plenum (the side closest to the firewall) if a tiny little nozzle up in the top corner, just cut that hose, which goes to ur factory gauge and splice in the tee, or if you don't want the factory gauge just stick ur boost gauge holder pipe on instead, this might stuff certain systems up, i dunno, i just spliced it

For the boost gauge question, i cant help with pics either, and my car is an r32 but id say that r33 will be the same- The stock boost gauge takes it reading from the inlet manifold at the rear of the engine. There is a rubber hose that goes from the manifold to a little plastic box right in the top left hand side of the engine bay. Its not very hard to find, its the only hose that goes there.

Is oil pressure mechanical or electric. Either one you'll have to hook it up to the oil pressure sender, just left of the oil filter. IF its mechanical, you'll need to remove the sender and plug in a brass t piece. If its electric, then plug it into the factory connection.

Didn't the gauges come with instructions?

1. Go and buy a multimeter, a pair of alligator clips, and a paper clip. Open out the paper clip and slip it into the back of each connection at the O2 sensor connector. Start engine. Use the alligator clips to connect one lead of the multimeter to the paper clip. One connection should show approx 14V, one will show 0V, and the other will be varying between 0 - 1V. That is the one you want. (It should be the middle one)

2. You've been given the answer - find the oil pressure sender, located just rearward of the oil filter. Insert a T adapter.

yea i got spell check... but we are talkn cars here, no essays..
I personally prefer essay-quality (not an essay, just essay-quality), because I then don't spend half my time deciphering what you are saying. We may be "talking" cars, but we are doing it by "reading" the words, not by "hearing" the words. So it would be nice if you spelled the words the way most of us are used to seeing them spelled.

yo blind, thanx for the help...

yea they came with instructions, but i thought it would alibiate the reading and working out the generic instructions, ppl with skylines that have done the installation could give me advice, actual skyline wiring harneses, would make ma life easier that working it out... etc etc

I personally prefer essay-quality

umh... il try ma best.. usualy i jst write short and simple... il cut out the deciphering..

thanks everyone.

if you got more details and pics, do let me know.

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?

      What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
