Im confused..

 

Do all TT have factory boost gauges built into the speedo? Have seen a couple of cars M/N reg that do not have the boost gauge. Is this correct? Were later models sent off the production line without these pretty important items?

 

I was thinking that the cars must have started life as N/A motors with TT fitted retrospectively. Or have i just failed to realise what everyone else knew for ages?

 

Please help as I've seen a decent car, but was put off by the above mentioned fact. Was starting to worry about origins of engine (good/bad donor) and whether the install had been done correctly.

 

Need to know by tomorrow dinner time as up in scotland viewing car. Back to the midlands tomorrow

 

cheers

Series 4 and 5 at least did not have boost gauges. Series 1, 2 and 3 did, I can't recall if the series 6 TTs came with boost gauges. Pretty sure they were brought back for the final model.

Mine's a Series 5 TT, no boost gauge.

An odd one that.

 

Last series 6 definitely had one, but couldnt for the life of me work out why nissan would fit it to some and not others.

 

At least I can have another look at the car without being paranoid about it.

 

Hopefully will be a 300zx owner tomorrow!!

 

Cheers guys

Cost saving I expect. They only have to manufacturer one set of clocks, instead of 2. Nissan did a LOT of cost saving after 94. Thinner carpets, Less insulation, Most of the good standard equipment became optional extras. They even went back to tweed for some later years.

 

Stock gauge isn't much use anyway.

Series 4 here with no standard boost gauge, as Legrath said cost savings - later cars although newer do suffer from Nissan misering!
