Hey All,

As per the post in the Vic section......

I've bought myself a gauge set and working out where to fit them in my R33. Does anyone on these forums know the ins and outs of ADRs with respect to fitting gauges on/in your dash???

Any help or advice is much appreciated :D

This might not be so useful because it refers to external gauges

This has a few things on visibility in the windscreen section

Unfortunately, though, no ADR info.

In relation to visibility, I had to get a taxi the other day and noticed a few things.

He had his push button job detail thingy mounted in centre on top of dash. Approx. 200mm wide.

He also had his id card mounted to the top of dash and also a holder for business cards mounted on top of dash.

Wonder how many times he has been pulled over for obstructing his visibility?

browny.....thanks for the info but I had a print out of these before hand and as you pointed out they only refer to EXTERNAL gauges. That is exactly my problem...Vicroads doesnt seem to provide info on this yet I know people have been picked up on this during vehicle checks.

FATGTS-R..........mate tell me about it. One rule for us and a different one for every import driver out there. Good points about the taxi setup.....also consider all those people with those little note paper dash attachments, toys stuck to the dashboard etc etc

Vicroads have an information booklet for Taxis:

My brief flick through suggests they can mount a dispatcher on the dash if this doesn't obscure the road surface 11m ahead.

Although I don't really see why discussion of Taxis is relevant.

You could always subscribe to the ADR's if you really want them:

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
