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 :)

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
