Ok, after seeing a few skylines on recent cruises, i noticed the rediculous amount of guages being used on the dash lol, though it looks cool, i fear it is hella dangerous, i sore one gogomobile using 5 on his dash, they were boost guages, radar jammers, gps's and some other ones that of which i dont remember, it worked out to be about 5 guages spread across his windscreen.

So was just wondering how many guages you own on your dash, and is it realy worth the vision loss (if they are mounted on the windscreen)

P.S im sure this is a repost, as every topic i post - is a repost

I got three on my dash (water temp, oil temp, oil pressure) - though 2 of them are not working now. I figure its best to have them there, specially when on the track, so that I dont have to look down at the center console to check the readings - and it did help when I was at sandown - till the gauges decided they give up on me.

Got the boost on the A-pillar - reckon I dont need anymore gauges aside from those ones (although I was told that I should look into getting an exhaust temp gauge)

3 in the DIN and one boost gauge on the steering column

Same here.

The three in the DIN consist of water temp, oil temp, and oil pressure.

I also have my screen for the wolf hand controller mounted in the ashtray cavity, but is hard to read when driving, hence the need for gauges.

None of the gauges disturb my vision through the windscreen.

I have oil temp and pressure top of the dash dead centre (cause if i loose oil pressure I wanna be able to notice it), and boost on the steering column.

I also use water temp, knock level, and inj duty cucle on th PFC.

nah I can see fine

That picture looks familiar from there, and which gauge do you actually pay attention to? :D

The A-pillar gauges are cool, but they do get in your way a little bit when turning right, the boost gauge mounted on the steering wheel is sorta useful :)

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
