Good question.

These gauges are pretty common to put in engine bays. They have been around a long time. I wont say that I have never seen one go bad in my life, but its definitely not very common.

I have had the same gauge in the same location on my 370z for roughly 3 years now. Photo attached. That was a custom fitting that we welded and machined on to just "get it done" on the spot those years ago. It has held up for me in daily driving conditions and pretty bad heat/humidity that we get up here.

So while I cannot promise that the gauge will last forever, I can confidently say that chances are great it will last a very long time... and that if it does ever fail, they are very inexpensive to replace (about $25 retail).

PM him a price for that plus one additional setup (adapter+gauge). Might as well save the shipping and he's doing his build in my garage.

I am going to get the item up on the website in the next couple hours and I will post back here and PM everyone interested.

At least, I cant imagine any. I suppose if the G hood line slants down further it could possibly conflict, but I think it is unlikely. I will post back if I get confirmation one way or the other.

I'm putting mine on a G. I took a look at it Thursday night and I see no fitment issues.

Badass phunk then put ne down for this aswell, or until its available in your website ill place the order thanks. :tup:

It's look really cool but wouldn't it be best in the cabin so you can monitor it while driving when it would be most important? Hmm let me see what my fuel pressure is while idling................

TopgunZ 03-29-2014 07:30 PM

Cosmo. Get educated..then post.

COSMO 03-29-2014 07:36 PM

please educate me since I'm such a noob here.

phunk 03-29-2014 08:08 PM

You should be watching your A/F gauge in the car. I dont care if my boost goes up or down a little, I dont care if my FP goes up or down a little. When you are in the car, driving the car, there is nothing you can do to change any of it. The A/F is the end result and that is what you should be watching. FP is diagnostics and tuning, and it will rarely change what its doing from when the car was tuned or changes were made to the fuel system, unless something goes wrong.. which will show in your A/F, and then you will begin the diagnostics process which the FP gauge will aid you in, no matter where it is!

Yes it is convenient to have a FP gauge in the cabin if you wish to purchase one. I will gladly sell you one of those! They are quite a bit more expensive though (by the time you have the tap, the gauge, and somewhere to mount it). Personally, I dont desire one in my cabin... I dont have enough use for it and I prefer minimal clutter in the interior.

COSMO 03-29-2014 08:38 PM

I run the program Torque on a tablet mounted in my cabin in which has a A/F Alarm..

O&G 03-29-2014 10:07 PM

Cosmo aren't you full return with your built motor? Run a gauge from your regulator to the cabin as I did....easy street.

Use discount code "the370z" and it should reduce the price to within a buck of the posted $110 shipped with gauge quote! Let me know if it doesnt, or feel free to just directly use PayPal to sales@cj-motorsports.com

Do you ship to Canada? I don't see the option on your order page.

Is this accurate enough? Is it ever alarming? Afrs usually will dip and spike all over the place, like when you decellerate. Wondering how that translates in torque.

A fuel pressure gauge is a vital tool when tuning.
If you are at 12psi at 7000 and your dropping fuel pressure before that then that $20 gauge can save you $10k in a new motor.

I have always manually processed international orders. Only because it has been an uphill battle to get the website to charge customers remotely accurate shipping costs. Its rather common for me to have to partially refund if the site overcharged too much, or occasionally it undercharges. Usually it overcharges.

So.. I have just activated Canada, and told it to activate the USPS flat rate boxes.

I have no idea what to expect! Let me know if its reasonable or not.

I ask everyone to please understand that us vendors have to deal with these automated shipping quote calculators built into the webstore applications. So if a website is trying to overcharge you on shipping, its usually not the vendors intention for that to be happening... its usually the shipping calculator acting up. The settings for it get rather complicated as you add international, multiple options... and especially if people start putting more than one object in the cart... then they just start going wild because they have a hard time deciding on their own what size / weight the package will become.

They are all set, I am packing some right now! Of course the black ones will be about 10 days or so.

Sent you an email requesting total. I'm ready to pull the trigger so I can get this knocked out as part of my turbo build.

My cost on the sensor is $102.50 and then they will FedEx or UPS it to me and then CC/PayPal processing fees, etc. So it will probably add about $120-125 or so. You can have it for whatever my final cost on it is, I just wont know exactly what that number is until the part is in my hand.

BTW the sensor is coming up as special order (not in stock at warehouse) for me, so I will have to also ask for an ETA.

Thanks Phunk. Replied to your email.

I just went ahead and placed the order even though the black will be ready by next fri

Thank god I have people always trying to tell me what I need to do and how to do it. It's not like I have only done this 4 times now and not payed a shop to do my installs in such.
I KNOW, I KNOW, already!!! Chill out man and worry about your own car. :shakes head::icon23::icon14:

You just said it all right there....you have people always trying to tell you what to do. Well then apparently you always sound like you don't know what the hell your talking about.

I was curious how well your afr in torque worked as I also have it, but then you try to offend me. Then I explained why an engine bay gauge is all you really need in response to your post and you get offended.

Maybe you should change your name back to cosmo "girl" since you whine like one. We All know your butthurt from gtm but stop plugging up the threads with your comments.

Now excuse me, I have to go pop the hood to check my fuel pressure before I go to the gas station.

P.S. I like the pic you posted of your family. Is that you onthe left?

COSMO 03-31-2014 06:28 AM

Actually that is me on the bottom right left. Oh and please do come to z days so we can meet...

valpozguy 03-31-2014 06:53 AM

Can't find anywhere to put promotion code? And why does it cost $13 to ship this small light part?

It's on one of the last pages of ordering. I think where you enter CC info.

As for shipping cost, that is a question for ups or FedEx! I don't set the rates. The package is 9x6x2, weighs 11 ounces, and is coming from zip code 60510. Check out the rate calculators on FedEx.com to see what it costs with your own eyes. $13-14 to residential address sounds accurate... I ship a few boxes every day so I see what it costs.

USPS priority flat rate should be an option when you check out, and that should come in around $9 I believe.

Lol..says the guy who needs to make two posts, more clutter, cuz he's not quick enough to get it out in one.

And is that a threat about Z days? Are you bringing your boyfriend along to beat me up? Does he have that retard strength too? :wtf2:

ANYWAYS.....

Phunks customer service rocks! He had these parts in the mail the same day they went on sale. It should be installed on my ride before the weekend.

Thanks Charles!

Phunk I talked to GReddy a few minutes ago and they expected it to be at least April 19th for the pressure sender set. I called a couple other vendors and none of them had one in stock either.

Go ahead and order it through your channels and when it shows we can ship the FP adapter at the same time. Much appreciation for you packaging the sender with the gauge and let me know if you need anything from me.

COSMO 03-31-2014 01:13 PM

I'm in for a silver if it is in stock? Also where do you put in the promo code?

Great work btw Charles!!

phunk 03-31-2014 01:45 PM

Yes it is in stock!

The coupon code is used during the checkout process. There is a box that asks "If you have a coupon or promotional code you may enter it here."

COSMO 03-31-2014 01:52 PM

Heck, maybe I did ride the short bus...

phunk 03-31-2014 02:00 PM

BTW just got back from dropping off some at the anodizer. Hopefully they are good for the end of the week.

valpozguy 04-01-2014 10:56 AM

Trying to ship yours, but the USPS website is down! I am sure it will be back up any minute and you will get a tracking number.

m3chhawk 04-01-2014 06:11 PM

Hey Charles, my tune date is April 14th. Think you will have the black ones back from anodizing and shipped to KC by that Friday (11th)? Pretty sure we are 1 day FedEx to Chicago.

phunk 04-01-2014 08:07 PM

USPS website is still down! what the heck.

mechawk: I believe that the 8th or 9th would be the latest I get them back... so unless something goes wrong over at the anodizers, it should be no problem at all!

09nismo498 04-02-2014 09:11 AM

I'll take a silver one for sure. Can I pick one up? In Florida right now but I'll be back home to Chicago next week so if you have them in stock still I'll pick one up!
