I heard mounting it on the roof is the new trend..

Just kidding, what about the passenger side dash part just where the glove box is and have them facing towards you? I know someone that's done with with a R32 and it looks good.

A pillar - blocks no view, in plain sight, forget it's there.

So what's the deal, it can't restrict your vision or the cops get cranky?

What about all those GPS units that seem to be right in the middle of every windscreen these days?

Yes, and your head cant be able come into contact with it, in an accident situation. I have mine right down at the bottom of the A pillar, which im guessing is probably ok....

this was my first and most preffered option , but I heard anywhere on the dash itself is illegal? can anyone confirm deny this as I would love to mount it just above the glove box facing me.also i have airbags so mounting it there will be sitting directly on top of the airbag unit..which for safety reasons Im sure is illegal.

was told this is legal but dont really like the location of this.

heard this was a big no no as during a crash it could be dangerous as it will collapse onto your head/face. Is this true or just a rumour

Any documents related to where it is legal to install guages?

Guys post pics of your current boost guage setup and the legality concerning this( just want to keep everything legal so If i get pulled over I dont stress.)

honestly I dont know why this topic was moved , the legality of boost guage location is common among all cars... This should be a sticky as well unless Ive missed one that was already created.

seems like SkylineAU forums are too quiet so mods have far to much time on their hands with nothing to do , moving threads and locking threads for no reason.
