All

I'm considering an upgrade to the Nismo instrument cluster for my R32 GTR. I mainly need the boost gauge – and I don't like the pillar mount options

1: Is this a straight swap out of the std cluster – easy to fit ?

2: anyone have one for sale - Nengun looks good atm

3: anyone want my std cluster (offers)

...AFAIK, Nismo dash doesn't have a boost gauge in the set... it is a replica of the existing dash in white with a 320km/h or 280km/h speedo... so you won't get a boost gauge anyway.

Even if you change the 3 centre gauges to a Nismo item, the boost gauge is a white version of the existing gauge and doesn't tell you the boost in any sort of useful form such as PSI or bar - remains in mm Hg or something.

Guys

I think we have a misunderstanding

I am talking about replacing the 3 gauges in the centre consol (not the main cluster behind the steering wheel)

Have a look at http://www.nengun.com/catalogue/product/370 – for pics and info

As you can see it has a boost gauge up to 1.2 bar - which should be fine for my R34 N1s

Talk to me - will this just drop in and work - or am I up for other mods ?

I'd also be interested in the possibility of swapping out the std gauge for a better one – leaving the other two in place. I ?think? They are 52mm – yes ?

these will just plug in i expect :cheers:

I have 3 52mm defis in my GTR - but be warned if you remove the 3 std gauges, the oil light will stay on beneath the oil pressure gauge in your main dash... as that light warns for both oil pressure and oil temp

I just left my 3 std gauges plugged in and wedged behind the defis :(

      No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.

      That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...

      It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
