Ant, I installed my pod etc properly yesterday and it looks great.

the green light cover is almost identical to the S13 dash lighting too.

Excellent, can you post some piccies?

How did you connect up the Oil Pressure gauge? Did it come with the necessary T-Piece?

Thanks.

**Papa Lazarou** · 14-06-2002, 12:30

Phew!!!

Everyone happy so far then

Dave I may rival you in the unfitted parts stakes before long

Let me know how you get on in fitting the oil pressure gauge. Looking at the oil filter adapter I reckon it probably be used for the pressure sensor too.. which I didn't know before.

Not conneted it to the engine yet as that's haning on the crane at the minute, but no you don't get the T-peice, I ordered one yesterday from www.lemansmotorsport.co.uk for £5 ish, also ordered some nice braided fuel hose to sparkle up the bay a bit.

Here is a crap nightime pic, will take more over the weekend.

**Vez** · 14-06-2002, 18:10

Yep looks like you can attach all the sensors to it

I presume the M16 bolt is for the pressure sensor, as the M8's are for the Temperature (well one is i.e. the long one).

Should be fitted tommorow, just gotta find a place to mount the sender unit for the boost pressure, now Im just gonna have a squizz to find out where it can bolt too, and then I can do my FBU restrictor size v's boost...

Oh and when in, Ill photo em so you can all marvel at the joys of Silver Greddy Gauges

BTW, the boxes for these things are well cool, shame to take the products out really!!!

The oil pressure sensor is also M8 and about 8mm long, so there are two M8's on the sandwich plate and will one do the pressure and the other the temp ?

**David_S14** · 14-06-2002, 18:58

Just to answer my own post:
Yes the plate does take both sensors, it shows it in the oil pressure gauge booklet

After 40 mins under the bonnet, and a further 1 hour dismantling and reasembling the car, me gauges are in in all there glory.

After messing with the pod for a while and seeing if sticky pads were enough (which they werent, just followed the instructions to the letter) and screwed it in

Pob needs slight trimming so its level with the existing trim, but that can be done later.

Thought the lights on the gauges werent working at first, so had to do the old coat over head job and surfice to say they do

Tootled off down the Road and with me 2.65 mm restrictor managed to get 0.9 bar in first

, but am boosting around 0.8 bar the rest of the time

They look super sweet, complete with anti theft devices (cut up socks with elastic bands round

CHEERS PAPA!!!!

Piccies to come.

Was well gutted when I got beat by a cossie last night, I was realling him in on the straights, but he'd sorted his suspension (git) so lost me completely through one roundabout, so I wonder what mod is happening next

**Vez** · 24-06-2002, 11:44

Fettled the bugger (A-pillar pod) by taking a few mm off the edge near the windscreen, now a perfect fit

Would have done piccies this weekend but alas tooooo much drinking and stuff needed to be done

Piccy will defo follow this weekend!!

**David_S14** · 18-07-2002, 10:52

**Papa Lazarou** · 18-07-2002, 11:11
