Running the lines for vacuum/boost/temp and power is not too tough, but removing and reinstalling the dash is what consumes the bulk of the time during install.

With that being said, this is the only place I would install gauges in a 370Z. I never really liked A-Pillar gauges, or gauges mounted on the steering column, or any place like that. I mean, it already comes from the factory with a gauge pod, so why not use what Nissan already provided?
I am well aware of the difficulty required for the gauges to be installed

This is why I'm looking for insights and tips to make my project easier.
Just from the pictures I believe I can see what you accomplished and why it was done that way. It's not going a project that is completed in a day.

I'm looking forward to the write-up as I was waiting to begin final research and engineering until I could see how you accomplished it.
