Gauges and where

PPhinx10 Dec 2007, 15:02

What three gauges would you mount to you SX and where?
I was thinking Oil pressure, Oil Temp, Fuel Pressure?

I wanted a EGT gauge but they are to damn expensive and the AFR gauges are not that accurate unless you buy expensive
Also I have a inline Fuel Pressure gauge maybe I must just get a Clock, I donโ€™t really want a water Temp gauge.

Also the local pillar mounting pods look like ass (no offence)
And that air vent braket looks worse so Im just confused and annoyed

maybe under the radio ๐Ÿ™„

Under the radio is probably the best but might have space problems.

Oil pressure and temp are a must i would say, Boost you have the GReddy for that,Fuel pressure is a bit of a waste I think. Save up and get the Zeitronix, it does EGT (a must have), AFR, LAMBDA and boost.

There is a holder that replaces the top half of the steering column cover on the s13. It houses 2 gauges in a pod on either side, and slightly to the top of it.

not sure if you've seen that.

I have only seen that for Honda's with the two guage pods

I really wont be having the cash for a EGT for some time so I will Skip that I will maybe use a Clock to fill up the last Whole...

Going Under the radio.

Thanks

EGT gauges arent expensive though, I have seen the gauges for cheap, providing they work on a K type thermocouples the sensor is R180.00.

I don't have gauges but I reckon Its more practical on the pillar or perhaps on the dashboard.
Gauges are there to "monitor" things when you gun it and I don't think when you are going at it you are going to look down to well below the radio and still feel never mind be safe (lol if its ever safe anyway)

Im sorry The piller mounting pod's have to be hacked to fit.. .
And in my Eyes they look hacked

Unless you get the correct RHD version that I have never see then it might look good.

Sorry Chem, Im not attacking you your car really looks great

most guys have seen mine, they are on the dash 8) right in front of you

I have a pillar mount for my boost gauge and oil pressure...

Really had to cut the pod to conform with the pillar. difficult!!!!

Doesnt look to nice nice but functionality before form...

Ok my guages are oil temp, oil pressure , voltage to fill the space.
now i just need to wire and mount

VVladeadmin11 Dec 2007, 13:45

where and what gauges did you get?

CChemCooladmin11 Dec 2007, 14:04

Me also need to replace my oil pressure gauge.

VVladeadmin11 Dec 2007, 14:06

I was at Autostyle today, they only got that stupid LCD gauges and the silver kak jobies

wanted those stepper motor ones but they didn't have ๐Ÿ™

GGary5711 Dec 2007, 14:07

Derm from the zoopedup forum in the Nismo club section was selling a LCD one for R1500, it displayed everything.

VVladeadmin11 Dec 2007, 14:10
