Mounting Gauges In Dash

[ardie]

hey everybody, i just recently purchased a pretty stock r33 gtst sII, it came with full adjustable zeal sus all round, works white 18s, HKS pod, HKS super dragger exhaust, high flow cat (unknown brand) and HKS turbo timer timer. since my purchase 3 weeks ago i have added a front mount, EBC, and an a pillar mount with a stuart warner ultra shift light and tacho in one slot and a defi style drift boost gauge in the other. i am looking at mounting other guages, but i dislike simply bolting the gauges as i think it looks somewhat "bitzy" (couldnt think of a better word 2 describe it) i was thinking of mounting the guages in the DIN but it seems as though i may struggle 4 room there, so i was woundering if anybody had some suggestions? i would like to keep it quite simple and maintian a smooth look 4 aesthetic appeal if possible.

cheers

if you get the smaller guages, i beleive if you have a single din cd player or what ever, there is room for around 3 guages under there ... there are pics of where people have done this, some even have the original tray with the closable door so you can hide them ... food for thought ...

just jap sells a triple DIN gauge package in the business traders section for like $200 including 3 defi STYLE (not real defi obviously) and the DIN plate....bargain really...

post some pics of your ride up...including the interior please

definetly mount them in the din...saves alot of hassles

[ardie]

thanks guys, iv been looking at the jap DINs but i was thinking of something that perhaps would mount a little higher, more within sight, but at the moment the just jap din seems like the only thing around that will meet both the function and looks i want. ill get some better pics in the nxt couple days, the 1 in my avatar is the only 1 i got atm and its from the 1st day i had it, hence the lack of cooler and the jap rego stickers still resideing on the windscreen
