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.

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

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.

Steering column is good, Thats where mine is

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

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

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.)

Edited by tripsteady

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. :angry:

i had mine ziptied to the air vent in the corner of the windscreen at the base of the A pillar

noooo really?

wanted to go the din method , but i have a 60mm gauge which just wont fit there

looks like itl have to go on the steering wheel column

oh the things i do to keep my car defect free

    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
