So I got the P3 gauge I mentioned earlier this week and installed it myself today! I'm completely unable to install things myself usually, and @JeremyR, @tehShirt, and @Kaotic Lazagna know very well how much help I need from time to time, either with advice or physical help . But I really wanted to try this myself since it seemed like an easy install.

Weeeell, it wasn't that bad! Had a couple problematic steps but nothing permanently or visually damaged . I still need to route and bundle some of the wiring but it's not too messy.

Excuse the scuffs, please:





Will try to update with some night shots whenever I drive the car next at night.

Started using the 'gauges' on DashCommand app to show the oil temperature (right chart - red).

And figured I include the coolant (blue) and the intake (green).

Oh ya... how do I do the 'thank you' thing?

I had the pleasure of detailing the inside after accidentally discharging the fire extinguisher while folding up the back seat. 10/10 do not recommend.

Removed, pulled apart, re-assembled, and reinstalled my driver side heated seat switch. Apparently the twins are actually toyobarussan's!

The light inside mine hasn't worked since I got the car (seats did heat though). Got a couple of spare switches from a friend but the outside didn't look as nice. Once I'd swapped one in with a working light I decided to try pulling it apart and swapping the guts over and it worked!

Here's what the switch looks like split apart (apparently it's a Nissan part)

No wonder they always fail.

Had a blast at Shannonville Motorsports Park today. Thanks to @Frost and the Ontario Time Attack crew for a very organized event!
