Advice needed - ADR's & gauges

[Ant97GTR]

Hey All,

As per the post in the Vic section......

I've bought myself a gauge set and working out where to fit them in my R33. Does anyone on these forums know the ins and outs of ADRs with respect to fitting gauges on/in your dash???

Any help or advice is much appreciated

This might not be so useful because it refers to external gauges

This has a few things on visibility in the windscreen section

Unfortunately, though, no ADR info.

In relation to visibility, I had to get a taxi the other day and noticed a few things.

He had his push button job detail thingy mounted in centre on top of dash. Approx. 200mm wide.

He also had his id card mounted to the top of dash and also a holder for business cards mounted on top of dash.

Wonder how many times he has been pulled over for obstructing his visibility?

browny.....thanks for the info but I had a print out of these before hand and as you pointed out they only refer to EXTERNAL gauges. That is exactly my problem...Vicroads doesnt seem to provide info on this yet I know people have been picked up on this during vehicle checks.

FATGTS-R..........mate tell me about it. One rule for us and a different one for every import driver out there. Good points about the taxi setup.....also consider all those people with those little note paper dash attachments, toys stuck to the dashboard etc etc

Vicroads have an information booklet for Taxis:

My brief flick through suggests they can mount a dispatcher on the dash if this doesn't obscure the road surface 11m ahead.

Although I don't really see why discussion of Taxis is relevant.

You could always subscribe to the ADR's if you really want them:

Thanks for all the info guys......

Discussion bout Taxis not relevant just hi-lights the difference between a 'targeted' group of drivers and everybody else

anywhere but head impact zones. above aircon/stereo is fine.

above speedo/tacho = no no and above glove box area = no no

a pillar = no no
