Hey,

Just wondering what the difference is between the Pillar Gauge holder from EBAY and the Pillar Gauge holder from JustJap? The one from EBAY cost $18, 52mm, and says its made of plastic and will fit R33/R32/Silvia. The one from JustJap cost $140 and says its a Trust brand and 60mm Gauge holder. The JustJap one is also avaiable for R32/R33/Silvia. Just wondering if anyone knows the difference? Does the JustJap one fit perfect? or is it made of wood?

If the JustJap one is the same kind of plastic gauge holder i dont see the point?

Thanks!! :P

Oh ive also wondered how you would attach the gauges to there holders? I cant see how a gauge would be held or mounted?

not sure about these two specific ones. but i had a similar holder in my r33 and it kinda fit, but the guy only held it in with one screw.

they shitty speco gauges he put in it kinda just sat in there with no help, they were reasonably tight though.

i found a generic cup holder with stand a friend had and modded it to fit the gauge i had and got rid of the anoying pillar mount

if you can mount your gauges some other way i recommend you do that

I've seen someone else trust pillar double guage holder, I expected to find a nice snug molded fit but it was not, not what I expected...

I would go the dash mounted ones myself...

Hmm....

yeah I could do the cup holder really easy! Plus they only cost $10 each! lol, I guess the cup holders if put neatly look pretty good....

But was interested in the Pillar Mount becasue i thought it looked a bit more Professional. Some skylines ive seen with Pillar mounts look really good! some look like it was there stock because of how neat its been setup.

Your gauges were floating inside the Pillar mount? lol, Crazy! lol

Well after much thinking i decided to put the gauges under the deck! At first i didnt think they would even fit, but after a quick look with a boost gauge it fits easy!! Could easily fit 3, 52mm gauges in there. So gonna make up a metal plate this week to hold 3 gauges, paint it black and slap it in. Should look really neat and nice!! Wasnt keen on putting screw holes in the pillar or on my dash. Gonna put up pics this week of the install and steps of what i had to do if anyone is interested :)

im also thinking about where to mount my boost gauge.

i will only be using a boost gauge, no other aftermarket gauges, so the pillar mount was out of the question, then i decided to mount mine under the cd player aswel, but i got my greddy turbo timer in there, so im gonna make a templet for the the boost gauge and turbo timer and get a piece of black acrylic cut out and mount them on that.....neat and easy

what brand 2" boost gauge do yoiu guys recomend? sumfin for around $80 ??

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
