Some Gauge Placement Ideas

[sidewazegtst]

Hey what's up.

I was just wondering if you guys could maybe post what you've done with your aftermarket gauges? There's always the A pilar pod's and center console area (which I'm using in my 240) and I'd like some ideas for my Skyline.

So if possible let me know and post up pic's too.

Thanks fella's.

Cheers B)

Personally i'm a big fan of those three gauge modules that sit center dash that you always see in dvds of cars in japan but i'm still to locate any here.

With the admission that I haven't even tried yet so if any one has some insight, it would be most appreciated!

thats the gayest thing ive ever seen, what are you going to need 6guages for?

[mr 32]

i dont need 6 thats why i said 3 on the left. because i find it hard to see the apexi with pillar mount gauges. and beacuse the 3 gauge din centre will be removed for the rest of the audio setup

Yeah that pic you posted is well.....a little to busy for my liking.

With those side pods on the dash, they raise them up and it's to bulky looking. I want to go with something cleaner.

I'm thinking of just using a couple on the dash in seperate pods, group the wires together and cover them with a plastic wire cover so everything is hidden. Simple I know but functional and estetically pleasing to the eye.

Hey nathn_r33 I just wondered, in your pick there's an oil pressure guage. Was it hard to hook up as in, did you replace the stock sending unit with the one that came with your gauge?

Keep the pic's coming guys if you can. I am still waiting for something to jump out at me that I may steal the idea.

if memory serves me correctly, we imported a pod with the 3 gauges to the left of the cluster from japan for a fibreglasser in melbourne. They did do some copies, but for the life of me I can't remember their name... I'll see if I can dig it up.

They look horn though, one of my mates has an original triple cluster pod in his R32 GTSt. They'd look so bling with a set of Defi's in em.

Mounted mine in the ashtray. Cops can't see it. The Apexi stand fits snugly into the ashtray lid. I'll grab a pic tommoz

Yeah I did replace the sender. The only hard part was that some tool that had the car before me had bent the original sender so when I got it out it cross threaded the thread in the engine. I just replaced the original one drove to the closest work shop and got them to re tap the thread. Put the new one in and haven’t had any trouble since Other than that it couldn’t have been easier.
