pics can be found at www.prosportgauges.com

I got the 52mm electric amber/white oil pressure and oil temperatures gauges. Both fully electric and come with there respective sending units. Only thing I had to order to make em work is the oil filter adapter thingy, which I ordered from Re-Speed over the weekend, when i ordered my gauges, I should have that adapter by end of next week at the latest, which times real good with my oil change and the purchase of the pod/dash cap I have to order this weekend.

<3 the prices of these gauges btw... oil pressure and temp only set me back $91.99 shipped from FL.

Pics of last weekend coming in a bit guys. Carmen, you have a PM... also, a VQ swap?! Why would you put that in a 7? Hell, think of all the cool Nissans you could build. VQ510... oOoOoOooh.

Also, the first gens are out and about. I saw a red FB the other day on Cedar Bluff, and I saw that beautiful silver/blue GSL-SE again on Fox Lonas last week. They always go by when I'm out running though.

Welcome to the club. Sorry I can't recommend a good machine shop. There's gotta be someone around that can do it, although they may not be a rotary specialist.

Nice pics Jimi.

Not gonna be at bristol, gonna head out to get the widebody situated once more, aka blockoffs and getting other things mounted.

V1 accessories showed up today.....need to chew the mailmans *** over how it was delivered, same with my gauges. Payday today so also got a ground wire kit from a local for the FC and will be ordering my gauge pod/dash cap tonight.

New guy: You might have to send out your rotating assembly to have it balanced properly, same with the lapping. I'm not aware of anyone local that does such things, not even RotaryResurrection, and I just talked to him today.

Under further picture review....is that who i think that is that owns the red t2?

bealzubub88 u dont even need to use the knock sensor its a pos.by the time the thing does its job your motor is already blown. its kinda like the s5 temp guage theres no need for it before it tells u are overheating u already know it

and yes a vg30dett not the vq thats the jspec one i typed it wrong. and i chose it cause i got the entire 300zx thats been crashed for 700$ the car cold actually be fixed if i cared to take the time which i might just do that. but i figured it wouldnt be as bad as a v8 swap although it weighs just as much and if i turn up the boost im good for a relaible 450hp and i can drive and have no worries while still getting 20mpg
