Need Advise.... :-/

Hey all,

I want to add an Oil Pressure gauge to the Z. But dont know where to mount it, I dont like the Idea or the way it looks to mount it up on the dash. So can someone come up with some Ideas for me? Thanks

rip out the clock and put it in the 3-gauge.

Thought about it but dont want to tear up the dash...

You could have a custom A-pillar fabricated. A lot of FI guys put their boost gauge there. Galeforce on the forum actually makes them himself. You might PM him

No I would like to be able to see it at a glance, Thanks for your input tho...

even if there's more work involved, i think at the end, you will be most happy with the gauge where the clock is. and just get a HU with clock.

Aren't those 3 gauges all 1 piece? You have to replace all 3 if you want to replace 1 right?

Yep. I used to be pissed about it, until it dawned on me that I could give a rat's *** about the volt meter, so even if they were removeable individually I'd still be replacing two out of the three. At that point, it wouldn't bother me nearly as much to buy a new oil temp gauge for the third spot.
