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.

nope have been through booze buses and rbts and they dont say anything

pods look shit on the dash brackets look better

if you know to hide and neaten wires it doesnt look crap

what brand etc is your gauge on the right top of the steering wheel? im looking for something exactly the same as that. and where did you get it from?

ta

looks like a HKS gauge :turned:

anyone else have any pics of tripple gauge installs? im looking to do mine soon, only with blitz gauges.

Personally i think having 3 gagues on the pillar looks a bit much.

I didnt read everything but the way i see it, if your into the track, like i am, having the gagues on the DIN of the headunit makes you look away from the road for too long, as you almost have to turn your head and look down. (actually, even on the street, where it could cause more problems!)

Whereas on the pillar you barely have to glance at them to see whats going on.

This is the Setup on my old ITR. I custom made the pods, and it didnt obstruct the view too much as to become a problem.

If id had my way they would have hugged the pillar more, but it was hard work as it was :P

Yes POS Autogague ones :P But they were more for piece of mind that i wasnt going to skyrocket oil temps or loose pressure, i just read them as if it went a hell of alot higher than normaland kept going, it was getting warm. (Read 90deg normal, 140 after 20-30 mins track :D )

I dont have experience with Dash mounted ones, but IMHO they look like ass unless you have an OEM gage holder like R34's have. Then it looks nice.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
