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

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
