why not just remove your cigarette lighter and socket, shave the hole diameter a poofteenth more, and 'slide in' a nice 2 inch Speco guage with a black bezel.

Bung in a Dick Smith BLUE L.E.D with a 300ohm resistor in series inside, instead of the stock dorky globe and................Total Class!!

Mine looks nice!! I'll put picks up if u want.

And... as a bonus............you can actually read the guage when in 2nd, 4th and 5th Gears!!!

NB. In the real world, you're not "checkin' out da boost" all of your driving time, only every now and again just to see how your baby is going.

If u need to look at it all the time, then maybe, you shouldn't drive around where other people are co-existing!!!!! :wassup:

i've looked into that idea superspit, would be a VERY sloe fit to get the 2" guages in there!!

have you already done it??

all done, not difficuly at all, as the ashtray and facia area come out soooo easy. The cuting of the cig lighter diameter is the slowest bit......but done, it can be!!

Feedding the little airpipe is a breaze too. I took out the glove box and ........found the engine bay grommet. easy install Craved. (1 hour total)

2"Speco Guage $45.00 complete!!

give it some thought!

I just got the gauge done like urs at Advan while they were sorting out my boost spike problems....it looks !! so much better there than on the A pillar...everyone should do it that way...

cheers for the idea man :)

If they are gonna defect you for having gauges on the a-pillar then every taxi in australia is defectable coz they have there LCD screen thing there.

Placing gauges on a-pillar does not block ur line of sight either, coz cops try use that bs also, unless u got a bigass monster tach there.

Last time i got defected they defected me for having my safc mounted on the dash above the middle 2 air vents coz apparently that blocks my vision :) but didnt say anything about gauges on my

a-pillar.

Cool, it keeps it out of sign from the fuzz aswell.

They see a cluster of gauges and BOOM the red and blues are on and your walking home funny.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
