All three pods are a single unit. You cannot just change one. You are better of getting a pillar pod. Jason (GaleForce) makes some pretty sweet ones which several of us boosted guys are running.

So you can take out one of the gauges. You just de-pin one and install the new one (boost gauge) and the other 2 will still work. There are about 3-4 DIY post on this forum on how to replace the gauges with upgraded ones. Also YouTube has videos on some upgraded gauges in the triple pod. When the shop sends me the pics will post them. Thx for the heads up though.

That must be a recent development. You got a link?

There are 2 videos above your post and there are several topics on it in this forum. Here is one: DIY: Triple Gauge Cluster

The shop said if you only want to change one out you de-pin it and the other 2 stock ones that are left will still work fine. They have done several Zs this way. When I get pics of the Boost Gauge in the triple pod I will post the pics

It’ll be interesting to see if they can do that. I’ve only seen people replace all three. Even the videos you posted above and the DIY have all three gauges replaced.

If possible, this would be helpful for those of us with ecutek and adding gauges in that cluster.

Bad news on the Gauges. They told me this has worked on 2013-16 but they couldn’t do it on mine. So the shop installed 3 defi red racer gauges. Boost, oil and temp. I was excited too but oh well. I’m supposed to pick up the Nismo today so very excited. Will post pics and video plus dyno.

What has changed from 2016 to 2018 model?

I’ve got a 2016 Supercharged Nismo and a std 2018 Nismo, apart from the boot release button on the centre console and differently colour door handiest along with clutch I though the cars were identical

Also make sure you change the original 1.09bar MAP sensor for a 4 bar T-MAP sensor. You may also need an air temp sensor plumber into the stillen inlet or possibly use the T-MAP to monitor air temp.

Also love these gauges, may look into getting these fitted to mine

I don’t need a bigger sensor because I’m only running 7lbs of boost and the stock sensor will read that fine. Up to 14lbs of boost.
