P3Cars vent gauge installation - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Anyone else have theirs die already? Car was in a body shop for 3 weeks for the most recent two accidents where people hit it and now the gauge won't turn on.

The control box is warm but no display. I've double checked all the wiring too even though there are really only 3 points of connection...

Mine's been fine since June 2013. And mine's from FA20Club lol.

Ya mine was too. But wasn't 3 months old. I'm taking it up with the shop first since I haven't heard back from p3cars after nearly a weem

it seemed that there was a change in personnel and once I got the right email Tim was able to fix my problem right away. perhaps you are having the same problem.

I sent them a second message over facebook and heard back immediately. Could have just been a fluke. Their technician Matt has been great help. Looks like my gauge has to go back for a repair though

Has anybody come up with a multifunction gauge to replace the analog speedometer instead of integrating into the vent? I realize it would be a lot more involved but there's a lot more real estate to be utilized and I can't be the only one that NEVER uses it.

I've thought of this. Not sure what i'd want to put there.

Anyone selling a used P3 gauge? I'm up in Canada and the exchange rate is killing me right now. So 465 new after tax, shipping, duty and exchange comes to over 700. Just isn't practical.
Thanks!

To wire a GM 3bar into this gauge, you would splice into B, the middle wire coming out of the GM 3bar sensor (granted you are using one). As this is a boost reading output reading you would run to your PC3car vent gauge input aux wire

You would then need to change a setting in the config menu to read the "Boost" Readout as external analog sensor 1 or 2.

Just noticed this post. I sucked it up and got it. Couldn't wait to set it all up and tune the car so. Haha. I really appreciate the offer though! Thanks!

has anybody had issues with the fact that the ribbon cable gets kind of smushed against the vent ducting when you just put the cable in and snap the vent pod back into place? I haven't installed mine yet but just watched an install video and it was mentioned as a concern but wondering if anyone has had any long term issues with it.

B T · 03-01-2016, 05:32 PM

haven't had any problems here, had it installed for about 6 months
