Anyone know what brand Dual or Single guage pods that best suit an R33 GTS25t for 60mm guages? Something that fits nicely and looks good... also what are prices and where do you recommend buying them from? I am in Perth. Any pictures would be great.

I got a trust 60mm single universal guage pod from makspeed in melbourne (check the perfomance shops / wreckers in vic thread in the victoria forum). cost me $88, and i cut the prick down so that the shape matched my pillar. then i stuck 2 matal brackets with fibre glass on (one that slots b/w the pillar and the dash, and the other wraps around the pillar on the windscreen side). On the other side that goes towards the door, I stuck a piece of leather (b/c it streches only a little) and put a small bracket on that so it clips on that side. This way I made no holes or damage to my pillar. It fits VERY nicely and looks very professional. If I had a digital camera or access to one I would take pics and show off, but unfortunately, I dont :P

If you cant be stuffed doing all that (for me its a hobby), they sell dual pillar pods for R33's that fit straight on for about $130.

Look at this thread. Makspeed is listed in there, they are in little bourke street. There is also an outlet in Maribyrnong, but that is mostly a workshop, and they dont really have any thing like that for sale there....

The one in Bourke st is b/w exhibition st and russel st

so you have an R33?

doesnt the trust universal single pillar panel really fit nicely? needs a bit of cutting does it? what do you ppl with dual guages find the most useful? boost + (voltage/exhaust temp/oil or fuel pressure etc.. )

Yeah b005t, R33!

I got the universal for 2 reasons:

- didnt want to pay a ridiculous price for a piece of fibleglass!

- only wanted 1 guage. This way you also save from buying another guage that you dont really want anyway...

At first, i was a bit cheesed that i had to cut it down, but in the end, i was glad that i took that approach b/c now it looks better than i hoped it would, and it is much smaller than oroginal size making look even neater! This way I made my own custom brackets to hold it on, and I didnt have to touch the pillar at all!

I try grab a digital camera here from work and take a pic for ya.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
