I would like to know who people have purchased Boost gauges off and who installed it. I could possibly install it myself but I spent years working on my Valiant that doing fiddily crap like that is just not fun anymore. I heard that Autobarn is the place to go, but can you get them cheaper elseware and get them installed at the same time?

thanks in advance

Chris

NOT AT BRISBANE TURBO AND TUNING

i got charged over 300 bux for a shitty vdo gauge that still didnt work propperly and then they wanted more to fix it (used to make an annoyign noise when registering boost sometimes)

motsons ended up fixing it for us

id give them a try

one of our friendly forum members I am sure can do it for a 6 pack of beer or something like that.. I would if I was up in bris. Its quite easy.

A workshop stuffed up a boost gauge install.. :D lovely.. haha

Dont have one for sale but when you do get one,

They are EASY as to install.

Just use the vaccume line that goes to your in dash boost gauge and stick that into your other boost gauge *assuming you get a mechanical one* From memory it was up the back kinda, near the firewall on the driver's side.

Then to wire it up, use the power source from the headlight dimmer switch, coz then your gauge dims with your instrument panel !!

OOOOHHH aAAAAHhhhh !!

Just earth it to some bolt on the firewall, or on the steering coloumn.

**see pic, thats where mine used to sit when i actually had a skyline ;)

good luck, have fun

Yeah they are so easy that even I installed my $30 el-cheapo boost guage in my old r33.

And for reference I am a dumb clutz who nearly chopps fingers off when trying to work on a car, so if I can do it, anyone can! :P
