How thoughtful of nissan

the reason why you cant have it on the 'A pillar' is not because it blocks vision, but becuase your head can apparently reach it if u were in a crash, and so its a saftey reason(its called the head crash area). ...thats what a sargeant cop told me, and he also knew his shit abt turbo cars.

my 2c

spot on

all on cops judgement

i think they look cool on the A-pillar, like 3 of them, ppl must think your car is worked off its nuts with airflow boost and temp gauges

60mm Apexi guage.... fits perfectly with no modification required... You just have to hog the centre air vents though when you use the air con

Seems all those A-pillar gauge pod problem happens in NSW... what abt in Victoria, anyone got defected, and who's gonna inspect it? Our Vicroads?

i Have a 2 and 5/8 size autometer boost guage ready for installation. I want to put it on the a Pillar but also dont want to get defected. Who can you contact to get the relevant info on whats legal and whats not other than the rta?

I have the same st. wheel mount Carbon gauge pod with a GREDDY Boost PRESS Gauge on my R32, I also have another GREDDY Oil PRESS gauge mounted on the top of the dash to the left of the little buttons controlling the Radio (Which don't work). And an Autometer Monster Tacho on the other side of my dash mounted on my A-Pillar.

When I got defected for ride height about 6 months ago, the cop looked through my car under the engine bay, remarked that the 'only' mods were the BOV and FILTER, then closed the bonnet.

He then went and had a look inside the car and remarked at the gauges and said 'OK', that's all-get your ride height fixed and there will be no more problems.

Interestingly enough, I am endevouring to relocate my 2 PRESS Gauges to my A-Pillar soon and mount the Monster Tach rice style in the middle of my dash, like the AUTOSTYLE R32 GTR (DEXTER) and their other TOP SECRET R33 GTR

I dont understand how you can get defected for having a boost gauge on your steering column it doesnt impede view etc.. what about all those ppl with fluffy toys and that on their dash.. doesn tthat impede view...

[Squizz]

What if you have a "Nodding Head Dog" and hang the gauge off it's collar? huh? Huh!!!?!?!

I think this may have been mentioned previously, but how the hell are Taxi's with those big box things sitting ontop of the dash right in front of the driver legal !!!

I've NEVER heard of a Taxi getting a defect notice for them, so what goes !!!
