trel Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I looked but didn't really find anything useful so I will ask. I want to get oil pressure/water temp/boost gauges but when I fit them I would like them to sit beneath my head unit where the din pocket goes. Is this possible? If so, how can it be done? I reckon they would look mint there. Any other suggestions?

infamous_t Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 You mean like the GTRs have? Defi does one. http://www.nengun.com/defi/din-gauge-rhd Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/229573-gauges-in-din-pocket-area/#findComment-4035508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusH_ Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 been done plenty of times dude, might be a tight squeeze for 3 guages unless you allow it to take up both pockets although i think i have seen it done in the one pocket, you could try using some aluminum sheet and just cut the holes for the guages where you want them to sit, the fix the plate in place where the din pocket screws go Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/229573-gauges-in-din-pocket-area/#findComment-4035608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R33Matt Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Hey, Yeah it can be done pretty easy. You could get the Defi din Gauges or you can get the justjap gauges. Justjap do a package where you get 3 gauges (boost, oil temp, water temp) and a metal plate that will fit under your deck. There are also 3 different type of packages with different gauges. Cost $175 all up for the Justjap package or around $500 for the defi din gauges Just make sure you dont buy the din GTR gauges... i did that and then found out that i couldnt use them in my gts-t...lol http://justjap.com/store/home.php?cat=267 Edited July 24, 2008 by R33Matt Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/229573-gauges-in-din-pocket-area/#findComment-4035697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trel Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Terrific, thanks everyone for your replies. I like the defi gauges a LOT but damn theyre expensive for 3 gauges... Any experience with the jjr gauges? Are they accurate? And it doesn't quite specify if they are electric gauges or mechanical. I don't really like the idea of hot oil and water lines going thru into the cabin of my car...

R33Matt Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yeah the JustJap gauges that come in the package are mechanical, but you could buy the metal plate for $20 and then buy the electric gauges seperate. They sell the electric gauges as well for $90 each. Ive used a Autogauge Boost Gauge in my R32 before and had no problems Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/229573-gauges-in-din-pocket-area/#findComment-4036335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
