Maybe its just me.. but I have A pillar gauges, and cops don't seem to care at all.

I've had several police cars drive right alongside me trying to stare me into doing something stupid and nary a peep. It even passed over the pits with them mounted, haha.

My car is fairly clean/understated though, I guess if your car was hektik drift spec it might be different..

yeah that's pretty much what the previous owner said, he's had the car for the last four years and never been done, been through RBT's etc.

But the previous owner didn't drive the car much, didn't attend any events or cruises.

I've never really liked the gauges on the pillar though, they attract attention, especially at night lit up like a xmas tree.

I'm always hitting them getting in and out, the glare at night, im just not a fan.

more importantly, i don't have points to waste, so anything that attracts attention, must go.

Our WA Police don't seem to care much, several times I get pulled over for RBT/license check (once for speeding) with my 3 gauges (2 stuck on with double sided tape :whistling:) in plain view & they didn't seem to even notice or care.

I totally understand heaps of people would go through rbt's etc and nothing gets said. But i figure its because those guys aren't there to defect people. Thats not what they're doing that night.

different night, different place, different instructions,, and your unlucky enough to come across a defect station set up on the main road from the drifts to the city, or the main road out of a powercruise event ,,, Different story

The number of people who have pillar mounted gauges mean that the risk is small, but its still a risk, still a defect.

I have bad luck, I dont want to risk it

@ Autumn33 -- looks like a nice setup, looks good in the night shot. my gauges are too big to fit in that gap though.

Driving a Skyline (even stock) out on Friday night near the city is a defect risk in itself... :P

    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power
