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.

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
