A Pillar Gauge panels?
 
Did a search, turned up nothing. I can't believe that the 370 has been out for 3 years and there is still no A Pillars gauge pods out for the 370Z? I really want to add water temp and oil pressure and the A Pillar is the easiest place to add without doing major modifications to the interior.

Anyone have a line on these? Worse case I guess I could buy a spare cover and make something in fiberglass...

IMHO looks to rice or outta place having a a pillar with gauges. A lot of people change out the gauges on the dash or use a monitor system which looks clean and keeps the stock look.

yah, guages on a-pillar is so pre- 2005's...

bushman66 01-23-2012 01:50 PM

I'd change out the center pod gauges, but that is a huge PITA. Not too concerned about looking "Ricey". I'm an old guy...LOL

have you considered something like M7 monitoring system or HKS camp 2?

^^ THIS!

I beleive it even works with a stock nav as well

I really just want a set of old school analog gauges. Still boggles my mind that a performance car comes without an oil pressure gauge...

Well best bet is to make some custom gauge pod. Who knows many the next generation z will come with one. Never know.

If you've got a use for the gauges, it's not ricey in my opinion. Now, a boost gauge on an N/A car... That's ricer. Not like I've ever had a boost gauge on an N/A car or anything...


In my defense, it was that way when I bought it.

To answer your question: Autometer makes universal pods that look pretty good, or if we can get enough interest then I could probably have some made. There's a GTM car on YouTube that's got the Autometer pods.

i would be interested

TerribleONE 01-23-2012 05:27 PM

Yea I would be as well... Center gauges as is and boost, oil pressure, AFRs on the pillar would be great

I'll see how many people they need. I'm sure it'd be 5-10 people. I'll report back tomorrow.

Have this guy make a few and give him some $$

I'd be interested in a 2 gauge pod (oil pressure, water temp). The "Row of LEDs" is cheesy and doesn't belong on a serious performance car...

I'm waiting to hear back from Lotek on the possibility of getting something done for you guys. Usually companies want 5-10 people interested in order to develop a product, and so far there's been 3 people interested in this thread. I'll update you guys when I have more info.
