Hee hee! Will post some incar video once I've got the gauge sorted. Planning to have the methanol display calibrated to the new Vishnu Gen II progressive methanol kit.

Very happy with my gauge, which was fitted by my dealer, as I am not very technically minded

. It is absolutely everything I hoped it would be - and more.

I believe earlier versions of the gauge required a calibration procedure to be carried out after the initial fitting to ensure that the analogue boost readings were correct. Is that the case with this version, and if so how is this done?

Cheers

Hi chumps, installed over the weekend but kinda not happy with my amateur fitting of some of the panels - there are gaps everywhere so I'll have to adjust it again this weekend! lol.

Question - is the cable coming out of the display unit meant to hinder the adjustments of the slates? I can't freely adjust horizontal direction because the cable is in the way, so I'm thinking of puncturing a hole at the bottom of the vent unit and snake the cable out that way... Also, I have a feeling this wire is hindering a perfect fitment the vents due to the cable getting in the way between the duct coming out of the dash and the vent itself. Anyone with any thoughts on this?

Cheers!

Mine fits perfectly with the cable coming out the back, but I did actually hold the cable flat with a piece of tape so it doesn't affect the momvement of the vent

I've got exactly the same issue. I've been out of town/country since mine turned up ~ 5-6 weeks ago so I haven't had a chance to fit or look further into the obstruction. I emailed about the issue and was told this was common & that I could return for mods to fix. Will try and sort out myself first.

Steve500 · 06-06-2011, 02:15 AM

Still waiting for mine.....Been told at least another 2 weeks

Please let me know how you go mate, I'm gonna look at cutting into it this weekend

Steve500 · 06-10-2011, 10:47 PM

Had a play with my vent gauge last night. Pulled it apart and snipped off the bottom of the vertical vent bits that were binding on the display. The vent blades now move freely.
Where do I find the info on how to fit this to my RHD 135? The website seems to be lacking where I'm looking...

I disassembled the vent and removed the right most of the vertical slats and it's a lot better now... I've installed and is looking great

So I started my car the other day and got a code. Googled it and found out I was low on oil!! I was sitting halfway between max and minimum which is way too low!! I have iDrive to check the oil levels but it's not something I check regularly. It also seems the cars computer was slow to pick up on it and give me any warning but was able to log a code. I'm glad this boost gauge saved me from doing any damage to the engine because I topped it up straight away. It's brilliant!!

MrBlonde · 09-21-2011, 06:51 PM

I've had my gauge installed for some time now. I can report it is great and you know I wouldn't say so if it wasn't true!

That's great to hear Kenny and appreciate the feedback

So Vinnie,

If I get one of these can I call on the experts at NorthernBM for some installation assistance?

You sure can Angus. All the info including the link to order is in the first post. If you need more info you can msg here or PM me.

Happy to help with the install when it arrives. NorthernBM is back in business

Harlequin · 09-21-2011, 09:50 PM

Excellent.

Got my Kerscher Lip coming in the next week or so...
Getting the Eibach Pro Kit next week...
Gonna order the E93 Sway bar over the weekend...
Still tossing up about an ER Charge Pipe (the OEM one feels really flimsy)
A P3 Vent Gauge should round it out nicely...

Maybe then I can stop spending money on my car for at least a little while

Tab135 · 09-21-2011, 10:17 PM

Who are you ordering the gauge through if you dont mind me asking, and whats it worth ? you can PM if need be, thanks in advance

Lol you're worse than women buying clothes mate! Your 135i has to be one of the best in all of OZ with all those goodies. I recommend the E93 over the E92 as well, just makes more sense to me. I'm happy with mine. As for the charge pipe, I don't see any point in upgrading it just yet. Maybe when it starts popping off or you need to run meth it will be worth it. But seeing as though you need to satisfy your modding addiction.. why not!?
