Getting Gauges

[uncouth32]

Hi guys, i am thinking of getting defis for my er34 soon but as my car has the lcd screen option (am selling the screen to someone in the forum already) thus i have a pretty level surface if i want to have the defis sitting on the centre console but now the thing is, im not sure if that is legal and if it would get me a yellow "post-it" another choice i have would be to have the defis on the A pillar whichever option is legal? im looking at having 3 gauges by the way. pics of three gauges (not factory ones) sitting in a 34 would be great.

Simply driving a skyline will get you a "post-it" - do whatever you think looks best

lol~ well, im trying to "minimize" the chance or else my gf will force me to sell the car!! has FMIC, 3", dump pipe and BOV now already... going to the pits = sell car or 3 years of naggings... both looks nice to me but havent see much of 3 gauge pod holder though... cos next i will be getting a boost controller so i guess that may be sitting in front of the speedo or somewhere else....

put em on the B pillar FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol GF's opinion on YOUR car = nothing

my girlfriend hates my brother's TME EVO because it looks like a 'done up' Lancer *shakes head*

doesn't like this because of THAT, doesn't like that because of THIS

lol don't worry, you'll hardly get picked on for having gauges, just tell her cops don't mind...

try and say whatever you have to say to make her believe or think the car is perfect and won't get picked on

lol then you can keep the car AND the girlfriend, win win

There is a 'Show us your gauges' topic somewhere on SAU..search for that and there will be plenty of options there.

darn!! A pilar is illegal, on the console illegal... need to think hard again... bugger!

[infamous_t]

Console will not be illegal as it is a factory option, if you use the R34 factory facia.

[uncouth32]

but the factory facia is not able to fit the defis in i heard... what about smaller sizes ike 52mm instead of 60mm? This is the reason why i am trying to get the factory facia cos i wanna put the defis in it but was told by some that it will not fit...

i like the look of the R34 GTT style guages on the dash looks good like that i think greenline sells a guage holder that goes on the dash they also have one that goes around the speedo thingy ill post a pic !

[NA_Goodness]

Mate, LIFE is illegal. Just do what you think looks the best, and if you get yellowed, then take em off, take it over the pits, and put them back on! Easy fixed!! Oh yeah, and avoid the po-po

[hoony]

^ LOL life is illegal

yeah dude what rhys said, just ddddddooooooooooo it

will look awesome

Three gauges on the piller will be a bit much I reckon. I have the GReddy pillar mount on my R33 with two gauges, and it looks good, but three would be way to cluttered. Don't think it would fit too well. Go for the the top of the dash where the GTT's normally have it. I like that look on my R34. Just hoping to change for white faced dials at some point. For the three on the dash as well as the guage cluster

[Boss-zilla]

why not get a GTR cover and make a custom panel to hold them in, should fit 4 if done right or 3 and the turbo time etc.

Something like this

Then get a fiber glass panel made to put the guages on.

I like the looks too and it will certainly look very legal. would you be able to get me a pic of the holder greenline is selling? i really wanna do something to my car before my pay finishes. or i might get a DVD player 1st. Was thinking of maybe just a turbo gauge by the right side (mearcat) and forget about the rest. but was worried that i might need the rest next time... hahaha... im so full of contradictions aye... my bad... yea, chi100188, would appreciate if you can get me contacts and pics so i can think about it. Cheers mate! looking forward to a cruise and my day off to clash so i can come along and see everyone's dash!! hahaha
