Husky33 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 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?

jasont82 Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 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?
