R33 GTR Dash

[mikep]

I was offered an R33 GT-R cluster and guage pod for $350 today, is that a reasonable price?

I have a GTR cluster for 275

you mean the 3 centre guages? not a really big deal as you can't use the torque guage. nengun have an upgraded one for $360 brand new delivered to melbourne

oost 0.8 + 1.4kg/cm2

Temperture 60 - 140 C

Front Torque 0 - 50kgm

in white or black. however you already have stock boost guage and temperature and the torque guage wont work so its kinda pointless. would much prefer the stock guages instead of those ones in the middle

[paulr33]

bugger i think you mean the tacho/speed console area with 9k redline?

Sorry to go offtopic, but the centre console guages for R33 GTR... would they mount up in an R32?

hi paul,

no i mean the whole thing. The cluster with higher spec speedo and tacho, as well as the three guages for boost, water temp and torque guage (which i know is useless on gts-t)

heh, just read the next message, yeah, thats what i meant

Upgrade or add a Nismo White Sub Console Meter to Your Nissan Skyline BNR32

Boost 0.8 + 1.2kg/cm2

Temperture 70 - 150 C

Voltage 6 - 18 V

for $530 delivered. however all the guages are DIN size meaning they are universal so they should any car and any DIN slot. it would just be different guages and screw holes. the bnr33 has boost water and torque whereas bnr32 has boost temp volts

[mikep]

just checked out nenguns site and realised i'm a toolhead, the standard GT-R dash has same limits as the standard GTS-T dash, it's the Nismo one thats got the higher spec'd guages.

oh well, one day

[heartbrkr]

I think the price of guages is a lot of shit. Most people prolly say a wank, unless your car is on the limit.,

im disappointed that their is no oil temp anywhere. also hear the std boost isnt accurate enough?

cant recall seeing battery level on dash too, altho if it gets to that point, alternator or battery are stuffed. just keepa multimeter handy.

[paulr33]

yeah actually the r33 doesnt have a battery meter (well gtst) it has a warning light tho

no oil temp sucks hey, probably cos theres no stock sender unit for it

i dont see how the stock boost guage couldnt be accurate unless plumbed incorrectly?

my evc and boost guage show pretty much spot on the same pressure

[mikep]

so some good additions would be a voltameter, water temp and oil temp, wonder if nengun sell a din mount for something like that. I can handle the stock boost guage being in the wierd rating it is..

[paulr33]

defi have a din kit but be prepared to pay craplods for it

and theres a DIY DIN guage kit also

what did you use to give the mdf the black finish?

[paulr33]

i didnt write the guide someone else did

do a search for the filename on the forums and see if u can find who originally did it

[heartbrkr]

WTF?!

The Gauges are upside down.

Would be better if they were slightly angled too, more towards the driver.

Relax, i think its just showing how its done. The gauges can be alligned by hand on the angle that you want...

[mikep]

not a bad result though, and considering how much a ready made one costs would be worth building. unless someone comes out with a reasonably priced commercial one, think i'll try my hand at it!

[paulr33]

if do, get it to suit the cheap ass swoosh guages they are 53mm im pretty sure

u can change what colour they are and are like $50 each

heaps better than $250 apexi ones
