Ok, after seeing a few skylines on recent cruises, i noticed the rediculous amount of guages being used on the dash lol, though it looks cool, i fear it is hella dangerous, i sore one gogomobile using 5 on his dash, they were boost guages, radar jammers, gps's and some other ones that of which i dont remember, it worked out to be about 5 guages spread across his windscreen.

So was just wondering how many guages you own on your dash, and is it realy worth the vision loss (if they are mounted on the windscreen)

P.S im sure this is a repost, as every topic i post - is a repost

I got three on my dash (water temp, oil temp, oil pressure) - though 2 of them are not working now. I figure its best to have them there, specially when on the track, so that I dont have to look down at the center console to check the readings - and it did help when I was at sandown - till the gauges decided they give up on me.

Got the boost on the A-pillar - reckon I dont need anymore gauges aside from those ones (although I was told that I should look into getting an exhaust temp gauge)

3 in the DIN and one boost gauge on the steering column

Same here.

The three in the DIN consist of water temp, oil temp, and oil pressure.

I also have my screen for the wolf hand controller mounted in the ashtray cavity, but is hard to read when driving, hence the need for gauges.

None of the gauges disturb my vision through the windscreen.

I have oil temp and pressure top of the dash dead centre (cause if i loose oil pressure I wanna be able to notice it), and boost on the steering column.

I also use water temp, knock level, and inj duty cucle on th PFC.

nah I can see fine

That picture looks familiar from there, and which gauge do you actually pay attention to? :D

The A-pillar gauges are cool, but they do get in your way a little bit when turning right, the boost gauge mounted on the steering wheel is sorta useful :)

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
