daniel_g Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Glad to finally see some recent pics Keep at it Phil, will be a total weapon with that Blitz setup. I fuckin love that colour soooo much, gonna buy a Sol just to have it in my life haha. Quote
lew777 Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Very tidy Phil nice to see some pictures. Have you thought about relocating the air filter? Quote
Nanglebadger Posted October 21, 2013 Author Posted October 21, 2013 lol at Philm! cheers Daniel! full Blitz set-up is certainly nippy. @Lew - cheers dude, its slowly getting there. got some tidying yet to do. I have discussed it with Jay in the past, but there are two concerns: first is space, as mine is running the N/A front there isnt the same space between the turbo and bumper as in the Glanza; the second and more important for me, was that leaving it back there should provide more stable and predictable boost, rather than risking a cold air / boost spike and me killing her...again. Just got my hands on a mint Samco intake pipe for a shit lot less than the £80 RRP, so I'm happy with the location and aesthetics for now. I just want it to boost consistently and safely and I'll be happy. Phil. Quote

ro55ifumi Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Nice mate will be good to catch up with you soonJohn Quote
TrisK Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Phil, that battery is massive!! Collection of guages is looking sexy, nice to havea full set!! Quote
Chris Green Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Woohooo photos! Gauges looks awesome mate! Quote
rob_bower Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Waheyyyyy. I phones working then. Pipe fits nicely. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 cheers gents. no such thing as too many Apexis. @Trisk - the battery is a loaner item from Joel, its from an R32 Skyline I think. Phil. Quote
micky boy Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Yeah i was thinking the battery was alittle big lol Some realy nice work going on here dude she looks beautiful ! And glad you have finely got the full set of Apexi gauges its been along time comeing lol. We just need pics of them all lit up now Quote
Nanglebadger Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 as soon as they're wired in i'll get pics of them lit up dude. but i'll be needing some help with that. The vacuum gauge is plumbed but needs wired for light. The water temp gauge needs plumbed and wired for light. Oil temp gauge needs plumbed and wired for light. Oil pressure gauge needs plumbed and wired for light. EGT and boost are all plumbed and wired. Just gotta find someone local who's handy with wiring, because i aint lol! Phil. Quote
Bluebear Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Brilliant to see pictures of her again, a true example of commitment to perfection! Quote
Chris Green Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I'm happy to lend a hand wiring mate, I didn't bother wiring mine into the lights, so mine are on all the time. I can do it into the lights if need be. Quote
Chris Green Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Just thinking, you don't have a radio, so that could be much easier. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 u sir, are LEGEN...wait for it...DARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah the EGT and boost and the Autogauge ones are all wired to the lights, so these would need to be the same. if it sounds do-able, thats UBER!!!!!!!!!!! Phil. Quote
TrisK Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Daisy chain them. Tidy wiring and means you have have one block for each wire type. Job done Quote
Chris Green Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Wire them as a parallel circuit so that each gauge gets the same power. (GCSE technology is finally useful ) If the others are wired into the lights, it should be even easier, as it basically as switch. I've got all the interior wiring diagrams too, nice and easy to trace back and see where to pull the lights from. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 you're on Chris!!!! once the oil filter relocator is sorted, which is what Rob is helping me with, we'll be good to look at this! WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Phil. Quote
Chris Green Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 No problem at all mate. Just give me a shout when everything is ready Quote
Nanglebadger Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 :thumbsup: I hope u has a soldering iron, because i dont lol! got some nice black electrical tape though!!! Phil. Quote
JayJ Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Gauges...gauges everywhere This must be the best and the most documented build thread ever! Quote
Chris Green Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 :thumbsup: I hope u has a soldering iron, because i dont lol! got some nice black electrical tape though!!! Phil. I have got one, but I prefer to use spade connectors, much easier and I have a tool which makes them neat too. Can do it with a soldering iron if you prefer though. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 makes no odds to me mate, spade connectors will be just fine dude! @Jay - thanks dude, in total that makes 9 gauges along the dash and A-pillar lol! although the old oil pressure gauge will soon be redundant, so will need to pick something new to fill that hole! Phil. Quote
