3 Defi Gauges...

[bugger]

Hi all...

I've ordered in 3 Defi Gauges...

and thinking of putting all 3 on the pillar.

what do you guys think? good idea?

any suggestions are welcome!~

Just want it to look nice.

If possible, some pics off someone's car?

3 gauges on pillar.

Cheers.

Pillar mounted gauges are a defect due to obscuring vision just so you know.

I have 4 blitz gauges mounted on my dash, about the same height as my steering wheel, which is still a defect depending on the cop you get so I guess it doesn't really matter. The only place to really put them legally is mounted into the dash where the climate controls are but I don't consider this to be the best place to casually flick your eyes to while driving, I'd prefer to be able to keep both eyes on the road and cop it sweet if they decide to defect me for them. Good luck!

yah i know abt the defect.

But i have a autogauge boost gauge pillar mount and the cop doesn't seem to be bothered with it.

or maybe is because is just one.

i'm just thinking of places to place it to look good.

Comments and suggestions welcome~

I've seen 3 gauges fitted on the pillar before and personally I didnt like the look of it.

What type of car are you putting the gauges into?

[Beer Baron]

guages on the pillar looks ridiculous. it was cool in about 1994. on the dash somewhere is the winner.

Why don't you get the DEFI din gauge setup.

3 gauges in a single din unit, and you can sit them under/above the stereo space, depending on what car you have.

Look a lot more neater and subtle, but are still tough.

I've attached some pictures for you to have a look..

Pillar mount looks stupid, gauges hanging off the side of your door!

Thanks,

Abu

That's on a R34 though Daniel, it looks great but believe me it's hard to find a gauge holder that fits an R33, been looking for one for my 4 Blitz 60mm gauges for ages now which is why currently they're all mounted on the top of the dash

That looks tough dani3l!

DEFI, Classy

Thanks,

The cleanest and best look is to make a custom triple gauge plate / holder and have them in the din pocket under the climate control. Looks tacky haning off the pillar especially three.

And if you have 4?

Cheers Daniel I'll put pics up soon hopefully.

[bugger]

Looks cool~

I've a R33.

But i've a hole drilled into the pillar because of my boost gauge. if i do not use the pillar, the hole will be seen and is ugly..

Any solutions???

[bugger]

normally you guys will put 2 or 3 gauges on top of the air con surround???

[/2on]

Yeah i think 3 guages on top of your dash would look good

[bugger]

I guess the only option is to put the boost at the pillar

and the other 2 on top of the console...

because I currently have a total of 3 gauges.

so buy another one???

[alpinestars]

3 on the dash is good

plus 2 on the pillar

yah... but...

isn't this way of placement is defect?

tot of using a gauge holder on the dash, due to the untidyness of the wires.

[WARLORD]

this is how i did it
