I am having a professional fibre-glasser make up an A-pillar mould for 2 gauges (2 inch). This is not like the greddy ones that go over the top of your current plastic mould and only reach to the roof. This one will completly replace your current factory mould and will reach all the way to the B-pillar. Currently you can not purchase anything of this type.

They will be sprayed in black to match the stock interior.

All I need is 4 buyers to get the ball rolling. The more buyers, the cheaper it gets.

4 buyers = $120ea.

8 buyers = $100ea.

12 buyers = $90ea.

email me for more info. [email protected]

I take it this is for R33 only?? How big are the pods, will they hold 60mm Guages, as 52mm guages (2") look a little small on teh pillar if you used to 60mm..

Might be interested if it can be done for R32 GTR. Guage positions similar to GReddy units would be good.

These are 52mm size.

Yeah these are just for the r33. But if atleast 4 ppl are interested in one for a r32 then I can get them made up as well, same prices, no probs.

Yorik, if you just want one made up for yourself then it will be $170 upfront. Still thats an excellent price as the greaddy ones cost about this but are only designed to go over the top of your original a pillar.

Are they legal?

I have a Rocket pod mount for a guage on my pillar, I have it stuck on with adhesive tape because I have to pull it off every year for rego (Its above and forward of the wheel, its dangerous, etc). Is it different if its one whole piece?

pity theres no a pillar pods for the lowest part of the a pillar to fit a 2 1-8 or whateva size they are, cause im not butchering my dashboard for a boost guage ;/ and without thinking of the size thats suitable, i kinda baught an overly large one ;//// double whammy, unable to use unless i put it on the a pillar lowest section, and have 2 normal 52-60 mm guages for the rest of the pillar...

if anyone has any ideas, let me know cause ive run fresh out of places to put the damn thing, and i kinda would be handy to have cause i think somewhere the beast aint boostin right, and i got no way of checking at the time....

Just put a guage thru the window and sit it on the dash in a towel temporarily. Dont mount it if you dont want to. Alternatly put it in the glovebox so you can see it when its open :D

i guess there will be no pics until done?
No pics until done sorry. Dut it's pretty obvious what it'll look like.

Below pictured is kind of what it will look like, except that it will be completly flush, not just put on over the top.

can u make them for 60 mm.
Sure can, once the master is made, it will be very easy to be remoulded to suit 60mm guages.

hey dude, hows about with that same dude, maybe make a 2 1/8 single pod up :P

cause i need my damn bosot gauge on the pillar but low as hell between the door and the dash... [where the side mirror handle usually is, but thank god for power mirrors :DDD] its the only place i can think that it wont be a defectable thing [aslong as it faces towards the driver... not flat so otehr drivers can be distracted by it.... any ideas on how i can get about doing this or getting it done... ?

its an autogage boost guage... vac/psi one :D

id be interested in getting one for an r32 gtst if there is more ppl keen.  will they fit the 2 1/16th inch guages?  if you cant get more than just me how much is it to make one?

Well I don't think I'm getting enough interest for this to go ahead. I will probably still get one made for my car at the cost of 170. I should be able to do the same for you if your keen.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
