Aftermarket Gauge Placement

Hey I was wondering where you guys place your aftermarket gauges?

I currently have my boost gauge mounted at the base of the a-pillar which is barely legal but I haven't been pulled over for it so I can't complain (yet).

I've got an EGT I'd like to mount soon as well as Oil Temp & Pressure (2 x gauges), Air Fuel Ratio and possibly a Fuel Pressure gauge.

All suggestions are welcome. Pics of your gauge placements would be even better.

Car is R32.

Farkkk...

Too many gauges.

I got three in my centre console GT-R stylin' (oil temp, oil pressure, water temperature).

Boost gauge on column.

I'd like an EGT but that's about it. I suggest perhaps an Apex pen timer with O2 AFR reading included. Ask yourself if fuel pressure and all the other crap is needed.

Water temp. is useless if you have a PowerFC.

I have Autometer boost and A/F gauge jammed at the bottom of the A pillar with Oil temp, Water temp and Oil pressure in the bottom slot in the centre console as the Climate control sits in the top din slot and the stereo sits in the second slot.

In an R32 GTS-t.

good place: air vent on RHS of dash next to steering wheel...

you can get defected for obstructing view or obstructing other instruments so be careful...

Yeah I had thought of placing the EGT there but seeing as I already have trouble seeing the vent whilst driving it's not much use placing a gauge there...

I'm lost...

Nah, I wish, the 3 in the console came out of a mates car when he sold it so i got them on the cheap, mainly because i wanted the oil pressure as the factory gauge is a bit intermitent.

The boost and af meter were out of my old car and i wanted to know what was happening with fuel mixtures when i started winding up the boost. Af gauge is really an indication only but if it's anywhere but full rich when i put my foot down then i know to back off.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
