I had them for oil temp, oil pressure and afr. They're a perfect size but I did'nt like them for personal taste reasons. Swapped them for Prosport 60mm JDM.

This guy got one of the 3 Oem Gauges replaced:

The Tanabe Revel VLS gauges look nice. Always wanted to experiment with them.

It's getting closer and closer to when I can finally put my Defi A1's in.

Why the voltage gauge?

Honest answer... 50% stupid, 50% I have no idea.

Just want to stash it away in the cubby. I'm weird and care about voltages every once in a while. Edit: It was like $70 or so at the time, so I figured why the hell not.

Fair enough =)

Hi all. First off, thanks for the guide. It really helped me out.

If like me, you only want to get the silver bezels off so you can paint them, here's how I did it without making a special tool. Just lift up the hood from the front as much as you can and get a very small flat head screw driver into the gap on one side. Use this to lever the hood outwards and gently pull up, it will take a bit of leverage but will eventually pop upwards. Then for the bezels, the guages clip together in several stages. The first is the bezel and the second is the front cover. Get the top two clips undone on the cover and gently pull it forward, there is another clip on the bottom that's impossible to get to, so don't break this. Levering the cover forwards will allow you to get your small flat head down to the two clips at the bottom that hold the bezel on, get these undone, then undo the top one and you're home free!

I managed to do this for the first time today without breaking anything. It's a pain but if you take your time, it's not awful.

im thinking of removing my dash completely

dts3 · 03-16-2019, 09:59 PM

Did it without removing the dash. It's not as bad as I thought. The toughest part was growing the balls that allowed me to rip apart my triple meter. It was more difficult to shred it all than I thought it would be. Don't be like me and drop a few pieces behind the dash

At least they're not rattling. I'll post up more later.

Water temp sensor isn't hooked up yet, so the gauge is reminding of that. It'll be going into the upper radiator hose with the help of Z1's adapter. Sorry for the shitty cell phone pics

Here are the remains of my triple meter. May it rest in pieces:

Just wanted to add this to the thread.

Speed nut/clips make this mounting method much easier. You don't need to figure out a way to hold a nut on the underside

Shot in the dark but is there anyway to get the oem 350Z multifunctional gauge into there? I miss having a digital speed readout

It looks a lot like the 370 triple meter, so Im assuming it's on the CAN bus. To be sure someone should look up the wiring harness for it in the 350 FSM and see if it has CAN lines in it. If Nissan didn't change the ECM CAN id from the 350 to 370 it "should be" plug and play.

dts3 · 07-23-2019, 05:35 PM

... of course it's all or nothing. You'll have to take the entire unit if you want that screen. You'll have to figure out how to mount it

Great points. I really miss having the digital speed read out like on my 350Z.
