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.

    • 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.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • 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.
