Hey mate i have a spare dual pillar mount for sale for skyline33 has holds made for 60mm guage or 2.25" let me know if ya interested in sydney though

[predator]

yer, u just buy a mount thing, which is like a whole replacement pillar trim, with space for guages.

www.uniqueautosports.com.au sell them.. or lotsa other places around.

Are they actually legal though (in VIC)? I would like one but don't want cop hassles..

[hippy]

umm .. i'm not after a dual ... just want a single

and yeah inasnt .. i was thinking of just using double sided tape instead of a screw .. u'll be amazed by how strong some of that double sided stuff is

[hippy]

I know

if u want strong then get the 3m industrial stuff, sets like metal!

my company has used the 3m stuff to hold panels together up in perth, and it can stand cyclonic conditions without coming apart!

[hippy]

yeah i used double sided tape to put my splits on my car ... doesn't even vibrate LOL ... better yet i got it free from work

[Guest INASNT]

actually dont use the 3m industrial double sided tape, it will never come off if left for more than 24hrs

[hippy]

i dont' know what brand i got .. i just know it sticks pretty good ... but i know it comes off when u try hard enough ... anywhere else i can get these pods from .. for a cheap price??

[Guest INASNT]

u can get from hikari or greenline for about 70aud for the single 1

[hippy]

70? .. i was hoping for more like 20 bucks

[Guest INASNT]

pfft! 20 bucks will buy u noting for a jap car

[hippy]

well it will get u some stickers

INASNT - The 3M stuff is pretty good - I specify it on buildings to hold windows in place! no screws, just 3M double sided tape and it can stand 140mph winds. anyway enough b.s.

i know, as i said our company has used it on the coast of perth in cyclonic conditions to hold accoustic panels in place!!

[hippy]

another thing i need to ask is .. what is the diff between a mecahnical gauge and electical gauge .. which is better .. and how can u tell the diff??

[rb25]

hippy - mechanical gauges have a sender wire that sends a signal mechanically (heats a wire in the case of a temp gauge) to the sensor in the gauge, an electrical gauge has the sensor at the point where your measuring whatever it is your measuring, and sends a signal via electrical wire to the gauge. basically, electrical has the sensor in your engine bay and mechanical has the sensor in the gauge itself. hope that made sense. my mechanic told me that if you want to race your car you wont get past scruiteneering with mechanical gauges.....

whats wrong with mechanical gauges?

[Guest Dragon]

Well, for one, with a mechanical oil pressure guage, the oil 'has' to travel into the cabin of the car to reach the guage.

Hot oil running up to your dash is not a good thing, if something goes wrong!

Plus they are slower to update then a electrical one!
