Pillar guage holder

[Jimbo2000]

is there such thing as a 2 5/8s pillar guage holder or not, all i can find is the smaller ones

[Guest INASNT]

If u r getting jap gauges which are in mm then u cant use the autometer gauge holders as they r in inches and they dont fit properly!

u can only get autometer 2 1/8 as twin setups for the skyline

[Jimbo2000]

right,

i've got a 2 5/8ths boost gauge from splitfire and trying to figure out how to mount it if i cant get it into a a pillar holder.

[Guest INASNT]

hmm could u have gone for a more inacurrate boost gauge?

just wondering i have just ordered a trust dual piller guage holder and i intend to use autometer guages are saying that they wont fit?

cause the jap size is 60mm

and the autometer size is 2.25" which is the same???

they dont mate up 100%, u will have to trim the gauge holder a bit.

Spiltfire = totally crap huh?

i knew they wouldn't be the same quality as trust or hks or something but they were a birthday present and i thought they'd do the job.

yes, ask meggala, 1 of those boost gauges was the cause of his blown engine

I believe you and your opinion on these forums means a lot i think and you know your stuff but are you basing your writing off an entire range on just one instance or is there more proof that they are crap.

I just want to know as i though that splitfire and autometer were in the same league and i havn't heard anything wrong with autometer.

on a side note, just read your sig. I'm not nerdy, really I'm not!!!

Jimbo: UAS has them.

[Jimbo2000]

Good stuff Blitz can you please PM me some details.

i couldn't find them on you site, only the smaller ones, maybe i just read it wrong

[Jimbo2000]

lol squizz, too much bash for you too?

[Squizz]

[Jimbo2000]

ROFLMFAO man

i got my one form rampage in newcastle cost me $180 the spiltfire gauges u just haw to cut the top out very finely just a little bit at a time ever slowly till u get a it to fit to mch and it looks shit house u c the back ov the gauge

so yes u can fit the big spiltfire gauges in to the piler mounts and looks good

[hippy]

inasnt is right ... its not a very accurate at all ... i've even read it in magazines .. i think it was hot4s that did a review of these gauges ...

[hippy]

especially if ur going to boosting ur engine ... that little bit of overboost not detected could mean the difference between screwed and ****ed up engine .. so spend that little bit extra and go for something good .... but still up to u ...

[hippy]

oh yeah .... do a search for pillar mount gauges on ebay.com.au ... u will find one with even a splitfir oild temp gauge if i can remember .. last time i looked it was like 70 bucks for the double gauge holder and the oil temp gauge ... thank me later
