So long as you're looking at a sensible sized gauge - I honestly wouldn't stress about it.

As long as it doesn't impede your vision - nor sit as an obvious hazard, then do it. Worst case, someone will ask you to move it. The HUGE gauges are just stupid for street use anyway.

Here was my old setup (sniff) - as I said, a-pillar and RSM/AVCR were never an issue.

Looks nice. May i ask where you got the 52mm Defi's????? Been looking for some good quality 52mm gauges for a while to custom fit them in the gtr oem 3 gauge holder. Or are those defi's the actuall kit that you can buy which comes with the 3 defi's in a din dash?

Thanks :D

Don't know where you guys are getting your info from but I looked into this pretty carefully before fitting my gauges. According to Vicroads (unless someone corrects me otherwise) -

* the gauge cannot obstruct the drivers vision

* the gauge cannot be put in a spot where either the driver or passengers head would make contact in an accident. ie no a-pillar, not on the 'front' face of the dash (like just above the glovebox in a 33)

so where does that leave? where did you put yours?

On top of the dash on the passenger side

:) not there either

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
