I was looking at this ebay auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...item=4516612828

I noticed in the interior shot the 4DR R33 GTS-t mentioned above

is missing the usual boost gauge under the tacho. Now is this

normal for 4 doors or the car has somewhat had its speedo replaced

with a non-turbo speedo for "certain reasons"? It's a 93 model with

claimed 70,000km on the clock.

I asked the seller a question and he mentioned the car is a turbo

(can't see the stud pattern on the rims whether it's 4 or 5 stud

because it's got aftermarket rims on), then the seller added the

reason it has GTS25t badge is:

"Becoase this car came from Japan. so thats why it is GTS25t but the quality is same as other same model cars in Australia."

Sounds dodgy? What do you say, particularly you 4 door owners? I know in 2 door

automatic R33 GTS-t the boost gauge exists, so it's not because of the auto transmission.

my dads 4-doors got a boost gauge. he replace his because the old one wasnt working... can't remmeber if that one had a boost gauge...

if i find it i'll tell you... but I'm 90% that it should have a boost gauge.

thank's guys... i would have thought it's suppose to have boost gauge, last night I compared it with some pics from prestige motorsports, sedans should have too. looks like tacho been changed maybe not working...

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
