looks in the way up there, i did look at them but in my opinion the whole mount looks cheap, think i may go pillar mount or like QWK32 done. just need to find a good looking mount, and a good looking gauge 2moz. ill post pics up of mine when its done!!!

Nope, it's not in the way at all. And the housing is pretty decent quality, it almost exactly matches the colour of the dashboard, so it doesn't stand out from outside the car.

if i could post the pic of what i wanna do but cant cause its a bitmap.

where the ash tray and lighter is, put a 3din in there and have oil temp+press and boost. but need five gauges all so it might change.

was thinking 2 in each corner of the cluster. plenty of room in there to fit them.

(thread steal) post up all your gauge setups people. be nice to get some pictures to some of our ideas

Don't mount your gauges too low if you're going to want to keep an eye on them.

There's already a thread with heaps of people's set-ups posted (it might be the stereo install thread, I can't remember), and I'll try and find it and link to it here. Regardless, here's what my set-up looks like - you've already seen where my boost gauge is mounted, these three are (L-R) Exhaust Temp, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure...

This is probably the best 3-Defi DIN package EVER IMO. 2x temps and one press. http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-low/DEFI-DIN-G...ure-Meter-52178

My current set-up:

The EBC is temporarily there until i finnish the install and hide it, the turbo timer shows boost.

That Defi unit looks impressive - would slot right into my car but for the $900 I don't have!

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

i've got that massive Xanvi screen thing, so only choice is down low. and its only for transmission pressure and temp. once i find out where the needle is sitting,. could maybe angle them counter clock wise or somthing.

see iv'e got my Xanvi unit taking up double din. then i have my fold out dvd player and then cup holders. then ashtray and lighter, which dont get used. i'll keep looking

[c-gtst]

those gauges look sweet!

i dont have cup holders, haha something that was overlooked in the 33!

my blitz gauge is in the spare din pocket under the cd player,easy to run the hoses and power lines behind the centre consol.and i took the driver side wheel arch cover out and popped a small hole thro the grommet where the loom runs thro the firewall

The problem with those gauges is that you can't choose what they monitor, Ryan. I would really have loved to have that as an option, but it didn't suit my needs.

What would you rather they were? i would be doing Water tempp/Oil temp/Oil press.

thrided, definatly the gauges you need, as most people already have a separate boost gauge anyway. but at a price of $700-$800 you could just as easily get yourself three separate 52mm gauges and a din mount gauge holder for atleast half the cost. but the quality of the defi unit would be far superior.

three defi gauges and senders is more i think, and the press gauge does boost too

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

was looking ebay before .... defi BF only in 60mm ?

well thats f**ked my idea lol !!!!

[DSTROY]

have a look here for Defi gauges http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/De...op-t170054.html

i was thinking more along the lines of autometer or drift brand or similar. you get everything with the gauge when you buy defi, no need to buy senders and sensors seperatly. but yeah, i think if you were to buy 3 seperate defi gauges they would be around the same cost as the all-in-one unit.

i'm thinking about getting a boost controller / info.

anyone got this ? BLITZ sbc i color

maybe i can get this too GREDDY touch

i have holes for mounting stuff so i mayswell go all out hehe

[CL11QE]
