just wanted to know if anybody has replaced the guages in the centre console and if so what breeds did they use and was it in the original cluster? or did you have to butcher it to fit them in?

i have sen some blitz guages that are in a single din carrier woudl these be usable?

also was just looking on nengun and saw some DEFI guages that are designed for fitting into a single din. but cant really make out what the guages are meant to indicate as the pic doesnt show real clear,as well as the description is not real 'descriptive'

if any one could tell me would be great.

This is what I'm looking to do in the (hopefully not-too-distant) future. The gauges you'd want (whether they're Defi, Apexi, or whatever) are ~52mm in size, and there are DIN gauge holders available for them from various sources.

Not too sure whether they'll fit in the gauge holder of your Stagea in place of the standard gauges, but I suppose if you can get the standard unit out and take it into a shop then you may have a better chance of finding that out.

The Defi DIN gauge you've seen on Nengun has three set gauges (you can't choose which gauges it comes with), and you can get more info here: http://www.defi-shop.com/product/din/din_top.html

There are cheaper Defi-style gauges around, with either the black face or a mirror face, but if you're choosing a boost gauge to add to your cluster, then they're mostly all mechanical gauges, not electronic ones. JustJap (http://www.justjap.com) and AutoBarn are two places that have the cheaper ones available, and JustJap also has a DIN-sized holder for them.

Hope that helps...

awesome thanks for that i have been surfin around lookin at heaps of different sites lookin at all sorts of things and have since found a few different styles of 'pods' that fit in a din slot but would ideally like to replace the existing ones and keep the same carrier for looks etc. but am yet to try and take the carrier out of the dash to see whats goin on behind there.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
