Nice set-up. How much did it run you? My pillar n gauges were pretty cheap and works just as good

money I saved is going for the built motor!

Pfft, from Dubai?? No wonder! Nice progress on the rb30 btw! Lookin good!

are you concerned about airbag in that location? did you disconnect the air bag? Go Dolfins Go

elperuano · 12-23-2012, 01:00 PM

I don't think it'll interfere at all with airbags and I didnt disconnect em. Only sticks out about 3-4 inches out.. Shouldn't be a problem at all. Go Fins! Unfortunately I gotta root for the Steelers so we still have a chance, as slim as it may be, to make the playoffs for just this weekend alone.

Steelers run show

elperuano · 12-23-2012, 05:14 PM

Damn Steelers, Ben's been throwing away games at the end twice now in a row. Now we jus playin for pride but being a dolphin fan it's been this way for like a decade

I will be putting 3 Defi-red 60mm gauges in stock dash location
(that pic of in dash is how it should look when finished)
Fuel pressure,oil pressure,oil temp. And the A/F in the lower A-Pillar
location. I want to not mess too much with side/pillar airbag.
Here we go starting to take dash apart. Also waiting for my new GTM
waterbottle with HKS one step colder plugs. Getting closer to the tune...yes!

BG370z · 01-07-2013, 09:50 AM

Working on the 60mm Defi 3 gauge dash install
front lip is on now-very stealth looking(intercooler kind of hides)
baffles are out of exhaust and that looks great
waiting on one Defi gauge and oil pressure adapter
also 4th guage will be in a-pillar for air fuel
soon it will be time to tune and i hopes this goes good
I expect to do a re-alighnment when all is ready
Bring in the Summer!

Sh0velMan · 01-07-2013, 10:00 AM

Could you post details on the exact models of gauges you chose and what supporting hardware was needed to make them work?

Thx!

BG370z · 01-07-2013, 05:48 PM

In Dash replacing stock OEM
60mm gauge-Advance Series-Red-analog face
Defi BF Boost
Defi BF Oil Pressure
Defi BF Oil Temp

Passenger under dash
contoler in armrest storage area
Defi Advance Control Unit

A-Pillar driver side
52mm gauge
Innovative Motorsports
LC-1 Air /Fuel -Digital Red

Thats all the new gauges for now but the Defi Control Unit allows up to 7 gauges (3 more Defi CR type)
to be controlled

Sh0velMan · 01-08-2013, 07:36 AM

Thanks, bro!

Where did you purchase those items?

Did the gauges come with sending units and all?

Thx!

Hey Mr Sh0velMan,

All were purchased thru Z1 Motorsports
The Defi controller unit is a seperate purchase from Z1 also
Z1 is great to deal with

Cheers
