Best place to but Pods and Gauges?

[priceless]

I am after a dual 52mm a pillar pod setup with digital boost gauge and oil pressure.

Rspec website has some, just they are £60 per item I want, is this good or bad?

Couldnt find much on ebay, dont want anything stuck on the dash, looks untidy.

If anyone has any spare time to post a link up to some decent parts it would be appreciated! Or even a pic of their own setup!

Also my car needs some new tyres, 235 40 18 I beleive, whats the best reasonably priced brand, I used to run falken 452s on my SC 350z, do they perform ok on an evo? (evo 8)

Regards

I think you need the sensors as well as the gauges from R spec?

I'm looking for gauges too

 

[evogeof]

i have r-spec gauges and cant fault them or the service you get



as by magic

Yeah it says each gauge comes with a fixing kit I'm unsure if that included the sensor.

At least the boost gauge is easy. Wire the live to the stereo and run the vacuum hose through to the engine bay I assume?

On their website now having a look the digital one look pretty fancy.

Thanks for the quick replys

They all dont have sender units with them and you only need a sender gauge for the oil pressure not the boost, geta t-piece for the boost gauge and a length of vacuum hose. Will have 2 or 3 wires which will be earth/ground, power and illumination.
Best place for the pods is on the A pillar, buy a 2 pod holder for 52mm gauges and will clip onto the A pillar. You will need to remove the original oil pressure sender from the rear of the block, remove the inlet manifold support bracket first (4 bolts) for more room, unscrew the original oil pressure sender from the rear of the block and get a t piece to screw into the rear of the block and for the original oil pressure sender and the aftermarket one as you cant bridge these or use original wire to the oil pressure light on the dash with the after market oil pressure gauge due to current change

Geoff your r-spec mad... have you got shares in the company? lol

 

[priceless]

phil could you look on the site and PM me a link to the bit i would need for the oil pressure gauge i.e the sender?

just about to purchase the dual pod holder now 52mm one

 

[Phil74]

thanks phil. not purchased the gauges yet,

about to do so tonight! what would you say installation time is? i can use a ramp if needed.

also got a 5ohm resistor which i still need to solder under the drivers seat. is that just a simple snip the wires, solder it in and then reset the SRS light mate?

 

[Phil74]

make sure the sender gauge is included and if in doubt i can get you them from store i use up here with both included together for about £20-22 and its plasma oil pressure gauge that changes colour with oil pressure
Yea and you dont even have to solder it on as i have just cut the wire before and pushed the resistor up inside one wire and other cut wire pushed it over the other resistor end. sometimes solder can change the current also. Yea your SRS light will remain off then mate.

 

[priceless]

might just get you to get me the gauges mate?

i want a digital boost gauge and a digital oil pressure guage, both 52mm?

fancy pricing them for me tmrw? and ill hold off on buying the pod holder just in case you cant get 52mm guages!

[Phil74]

oil pressure gauge is digital and its plamsa mate. changes colours with more oil pressure.
Boost gauge i can get digital also but would have to price them as i normally dont get these in digital as like to see the needle instead
Yea i will get these priced for you tomorrow and will even buy them when i am there ok.

No worries mate

 

[priceless]

yeah you got my number? so just text me and aslong as the prices are cool ill have em!

i just want digital as it looks modern!

 

[Phil74]

yea i will do mate and dont worry i will get them cheap as have trade account there. Digital it is and i am more old school lol DOB

front pads and discs

hi,im after some new front discs/pads for my car,where is a good place to get them from and are they are deals around?thanks.

 

[Phil74]

ebay is your best bet mate for front vented grooved discs, some will offer mintax or pagid pads with the discs also. Thet are ok for a standard evo but i would not rate these it running 450+ BHP. I have a brand new set of Predator Pads by Black Diamond you could have cheap but i have no front discs mate.

Gauges

Hi,
If you need some help regarding the installlation of gauges etc then just get in touch.

We have all the adaptors for easy fitment (so no need to touch the original pressure switch).

All of our gauges include sensors if required and if you're specifically after digital then we have the full range of Evo LCD gauges in stock.

If "Plasma" is referring to these gauges I would personally steer clear:

PLASMA DISPLAY VOLTMETER GAUGE VOLTS FOR CAR, BOAT ETC 52mm | eBay

Our gauges are covered by full UK 12 months warranty & support. Just let me know if I can help.

Kind regards
David

Ah mr r-spec how much for a oil pressure and temp sender 1 o each

 

[R-Spec Performance]

Unfortunately we are not traders on here so it would not be fair on the other traders to openly quote you and I don't have PM facility.

I can certainly help with any info you require, just drop me an email to sales"AT"rspec.co.uk
