    You might be lucky with the gauge, it should have a power and signal wire which based on placement may have been run into the demister vent, although if they drilled a hole in the vent are hard to get out in one piece and are NLA from Nissan.

    The Apexi unit is a turbo timer so will likely have a patch harness that goes in between the ignition barrel and body harness, or if you're less lucky has been hardwired in. It probably has a separate o2 sensor wired in if it's getting o2 and AFR signal. Most likely run through the drivers footwell but could also have been run through the firewall somewhere.

    thanks mate I was more worried the hks mount screws to the dash (i dont want to replace my dash and would rather leave it) but I think its just stuck down seems solid though for 20 old year old glue
    its been so long since Iv installed a turbo timer and from memory it was a blitz unit that just did timer, the apexi unit also gets battery reading, afr and o2 can you get these signals from the ecu loom like it splits off to ignition patch loom than the rest goes too ecu? i recently replaced the exhaust from stock dump pipe back and only have the stock o2's in the dumps all engine bay wiring looks stock, I did notice last time I had the ecu out to see what rom chip was in it a random cut wire that's been spliced to a coolant signal so someone played in that area before. The timer was loose at one point so i sikaflexed it to the trim so that's going to be fun.o_O
