from what it looks like, if you flip it it'll have a gap. Wait till ProjectRDM is off pinking and then pm him, maybe he can help.

Just be patient my dude

sorry to bump an old thread but im interested in how much trimming is necessary before i start cutting and has anyone got the boost gauge to work on it yet?

s14canyoncity · 03-26-2011, 04:20 AM

What trimming are you referring to? This is a straight drop in under the radio, just remove the din pocket.

Last time i had this installed in my 14 i never got the boost to work, i was told you need a specific boost solenoid/ controller. But if any one out there can correct me on that please do.

*blksylv* · 03-26-2011, 01:26 PM

trimming the actual cover so you can flip it so its facing the us drivers side, its not really a big deal ill prolly just install as is honestly

rbpwrd240 · 04-06-2011, 06:38 PM

Just wondering if anyone ever got the boost gauge to work, would the part I need come with an S14 kouki swap or front clip? Anyone wana give me more input on how to trim the panel after you flip it for left hand drive so there isnt that gap?

Thanks

Instead of the z32 oil sensor can i just use an aftermarket one ?

s14gmo · 05-11-2012, 12:39 AM

anyone know the bulb size for the s14 din gauges?

rbpwrd240 · 08-17-2012, 07:32 AM

I love this guys, Im glad everyone is interested in this thread. Lets keep using this as an open discussion on the instal, imagine the info we could gather here.

Anyone ever figure out the following:
Trimming the plastic trim for a flip for us USA drivers.
What boost solenoid works with this setup? Iv heard only the boost selonoid from a same year and make kouki.
What size light bulbs fit the DIN?

Thanks
Alex R.

Yes, and hello to you kind sir's. . .

Hold the bottom of the sending unit towards you so the plug part looks like an oddly shaped or fat "T", the prong on your left is the hot lead that you want to run to the gauges. The prong on your right is dead and has no use . . .

You don't have to ground the right prong on the oil pressure sender. It is an unnecessary step. If you look on the Z32 harness, there is only one wire leading the the sending units plug. The other slot on the plug is blank (just plastic). Therefore there is no need to ground it.

Also, there are three T4 bulbs that illuminate the triple gauge cluster for whoever was asking.

Respect
