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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
