They are only defectable if the cop that pulls you over has nothing else to defect you for.

They are not in your line of sight or will cause you to bang your head on it in an accident as the seat belt tention will kick in before you get close to head butting it, and if you have an airbag the airbag will also kick in.

If they are defectable then every taxi in Australia is defectable as they all have that LCD display communication thing in the same spot, and if you look in a cop car they have a whole heap of shit in that same location!!

yeah insasnt is right, vic roads website says you can guages on the bonnet as long as they are secured and wont come into contact should you hit a pedestrian and they are secured oil/pressure lines etc... but i honestly couldnt see the use of pillar guages

how often would u actually look at it and effectively use it? i really only look at revs and nothing else, of course you would check boost if you had just changed it or fitted something new but how often would u look at it, once its set at 13psi or whatever why would u wanna keep watching it? you floor it, it goes to the max level set by controller (assuming its all working ok) and then it will stay there

just my 2 cents

I trust the oil pressure and temperature gauges.

Only the gtr has a oil temp gauge.

The oil pressure gauge is not very accurate at all, if you ever hook up another oil pressure gauge you will see that the stock gauge is very slow to react and hardly ever moves when oil pressure changes greatly.

I would really worry about it with a stockish line but when your pushing big power 250+rwkw oil temp and prssure are very important to keep an eye on.

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
