Received some nice goodies from the Rezlo store:

Boost gauge and Oil Temp, will show install pics soon.

Oil temp and boost gauge

Although the Apexi Power FC displays boost, I would rather have other things there on quick reference like knock values, and the fact that it displays in mm/hg is not easy to adapt to.

My car sprung a real bad oil leak from behind the front crank seal, when I removed the crank pully one could see the front oil seal was warn out a little.
I measured the crank in the motor with my magnetic base dial gauge and it is off center by 0.1mm, so it was only a matter of time before I would have a catastrophic breakdown, luckily this happened right in my driveway and not on the road.
State of the car now

R34 crank STD, STD size nitrated and balanced
