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! :D

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. :D

Comments and suggestions welcome~

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

ahh wasnt aware u had a 33

yes there are very hard to find.

something like abus previous comment looked good imo

go for something like that :worship:

best of luck pal make sure to post pics when its done

cheers

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? :sleep:

Cheers Daniel I'll put pics up soon hopefully.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
