I finally decided to make a gauge pod for myself

I have a mold for these now and i was trying to gauge if there would be interest in these

I would be looking at selling them for $60

Would anyone be willing?

Here are a few photos of it just in place in my car

excuse the poor quality pics i only had my camera phone handy

I tried one a while a go and i didn't have any luck with it as it hit the crash pad

hence why i made one although i could be wrong

I was going to paint mine in acrylic once i have the time to get it colour matched

Read up somewhere that a guy used the R33 gts-t one on his Series II and it fitted almost fine just one of the sides was a bit short but it still fit fine. Back a few years ago when i was in crash repairs we would use this stuff to paint bumpers called texture coat it gives the same sort of rough peely texture finish at the oem trim...

Acrylic doesn't seem like a bad option but not sure how it would go against the damaging UV rays on plastic.

Well at least i have one now made specifically for the stag :thumbsup:

Cool i might give that texture coat a go.

the acrylic should stand up to ultraviolet it's going to be painted fiberglass anywho i think it should work fine

In case anyone wants to see the end result. Picked this up from Peter yesterday along with my Sub Enclosure, will post a pic of that on the Enclosure thread. Very happy with end result, Peter does great work!

well i do have them for sale at the moment for $60

although if a GB of 5 could be done i could drop the pricing from $60 per to $50 per pod

If anyone wants one just pm me and i'll give you my details

It really does sit quite a lot lower than where it was, It's virtually the same level as the top of the heater grill. You can barely see it from the side as well.

Will snap some more photo's throughout the week if people want to see what it looks like from different angles.

Cheers

    • Unless you're fortunate enough to buy a newer car, getting an older style plate to match your name/car is difficult because they've already been purchased.  Unlike other countries, personalised plates are locked to the country and not region, so there can't be multiple versions of the same plate but with a different area code.  Hope that helps
    • People use the numbers to make it look like letters to spell words/names, which is where the illegal spacing comes in. For example this GR Yaris  
    • Today's rock removal from my stock pile out the back into a 4m³ skip bin, I still have a bit to go, hopefully there's enough room in the skip bin, it will be close My daughter and her boy was coming on Sunday to help, but, I got possessed by demons and started work as soon as the bin arrived at 1230 today Lots and lots of barrow loads were achieved  Currently I'm sitting on the lounge drinking beer thinking of how I should have waited till Sunday for some help, tomorrow will be a day off, in saying this, my day off will involve prep and paint of my alloy coolant and PS tanks with wrinkle paint (Jackie is in Sydney till Sunday so the home oven will get a run curing the paint....LOL)
    • That's why I said it is a meaningless term. Because there is more than one meaning that people can apply to it. When we said "highflow", that is exactly what we mean, and exactly what is done. In a highflow, they take your housing and machine them out to take bigger wheels, have a better internal profile, etc etc, and fit a new core with the different/better/bigger wheels.
    • Oh sry i do not know if i used the term right. What i meant is upgrade the internals and keep the housing. That is not "hybrid"?
