The fourth slot varies, depending on what I'm curious about that day.


I would like to have something that will tap into the CAN bus (eg, the DM-100) in at least one of the triple-gauge holes.
I like how the gauges can be all attached together and share the same brain so to speak. I also like the ability to graph parameters such as the AFRs since they can change very quickly.

I use this on my diesel truck (but it is universal and should work just fine on the car). Lets your display up to 8 PIDS at once as well as a bunch of diagnostic stuff. Very similar to the scan gauge I'm sure. If I was not going for the stealth look I probably would plug one of these into the car and be done with it.

Check out Wikipedia's page on OBD PIDs* or check out my OBD/CAN Wiki

Edit: * Not all listed PIDs are available with the 370Z. Eg, Oil Pressure and Fuel Pressure.
Good to know about the oil pressure. Can I ask why guys will run a oil pressure gauge? Usually one is only concerned if you have pressure or not in which case the car will tell you if you dont have sufficient pressure.
