3 gauges on dashboard
 

what i dont understand is the last gauge from the left on the dashboard, the first two are useful, oil temp, battery voltage but its the last one i wish nissan would change which is the clock, now i can understand those that dont have nav it might be of some use, but those who have nav we already have the time displayed on the nav screen, i just wish there were something more useful there like tire pressure or something of that sorts, i guess that people without nav rather have tire pressure gauge instead of the time gauge loool, just a though thats been going through my head, what do u guys think, or do u think its just fine the way it is, would love to hear some opinions from the z community.

I think the clock is useful. To be honest I would rather change the battery voltage one with an oil pressure.

battery voltage one is also useful, clock is useful as well but im just sayin that tire pressure or as u mentioned oil pressure gauge will be more useful

yeah same here i hardly see the battery meter and it doesnt change that much as well lol

maybe so but u never know when it might come in handy lool

the clock is pretty lame

I love the clock - it reminds me of my previous 240, 260 and 280z's. It is very retro and represents the heritage of the Z (maybe I am getting old)

I like the clock personally.

I miss tire pressure and digital speed. To me it was easier to check speed from the gauges than the dash.

I also miss the fact that I could check each tire's pressure before getting out of the neighborhood

i dont care about the gauges, i want heads up display....

Great post, ragtop_rob. I was about to mention that it's sort of a throw-back to the classic Z's. In fact, I think it would be really cool to have an orange LCD display so you could switch between digital and analog clock faces.

I would rather have an A/F guage or Analog clock in that pod. More importantly, I wish we had an analog fuel guage....or a full color lcd in place of that silver & orange eyesore on the dash cluster.

Is that an actual running clock in a 240??? Amazing.

I think that the clock should be incorporated in the "computer" display and that there should be an oil pressure gauge there instead.

I wish they kept the multifunctional 1 like my 350Z had. I also miss not having an oil pressure gauge. It would always let me know when i was down a quart.

oil pressure would be useful as well

I think it would be really slick if that pod had interchangeable gauges, that could be customized depending on the individual. :tup:

yah, the 3 guages should be just a LCD and user defineable what they want displayed.

that is the future of all guages, i think.

The LFA cluster is one of my favorites.

See, i woudnt want an LCD Guage.

And yes, I think the Clock is stupid also...

oil pressure gauges are worth there wight in gold. they shoulda gotten rid of that volt gauge and replaced it with an op gauge at least

you sound like a :crying: waaa waaa. :D ;)

i like my analog inifiniti clock in my G. :p

sucks!

I'd get tired of the clock too, has anyone tried swapping them out?

It would look a lot better if it were an analog clock with numerals and hands to match the other gauges color scheme.

Hey now!!! No crying here! lol

I like analog guages...

Analog gauges are easier to read quickly and are superior to digital because of this reason.

Well in my head LCD will display the gauge like an analog guage (if u prefer) yet you can change color or size of font or monitoring range etc. Just because it uses LCD does not mean it needs to display digital numbers like in the 80's. :D

that is the future of guages using high resolution LCD's.

After buying the Depo gauges, I was informed about the 4-in-1 gauges. Wish I knew about it earlier. You guys can find various combination of the 4-in-1 gauges.

I think that would be brilliant. A multifunction harness behind the dash and a choice of gauge combinations.

:iagree:...Looks out of place with all the gauges, ESPECIALLY (as mentioned above) if you have the Nav unit....

i wish there were couple more things... like temp outside... lol... tire pressures arent bad either...

I almost always have outside temp on the left MFD.

If the clock was analog, I'd think I like it better. Otherwise it is just annoying that it is a minute different from the Nav and drifts.

A better driver oriented gauge would have been nicer.

I think an analog clock would make the Z look too classy, like infinity's.

But If I could change it, would be a chronograph with controls in the steering wheel. So we can measure our launch and track times!! Any one likes this idea?

Nissan 370Z Sport Chrono option? :)

If it came with the Nismo tune like the Cayman S, that would be a nice option...

Slow night watching football, so I'm just surfing old threads.

I've got nav and simply turned off the clock display (on the nav screen) since it drove me crazy seeing the two clocks not synchronized.

what sizes are the guages?

The triple guage is a pod of three. they cannot be separated. I replaced all three and used 52mm in order to use the stock silver bezel rings. if you do not plan to make it look stock then you could use any size you would want.

I did the same...

get a turbo and throw a boost gauge in there!

Like so...
