PLX Gauges?

Would love to see install pics in factory location.

The DM-100 does not pick up Oil Pressure over OBD-II, since the sensor on our cars is just for the dummy light. I picked up the Pressure Sensor Module and plumbed it in when I installed the oil feed lines for the turbos.

I have my gauge on the A-Pillar, near the tweeter. I can try to dig up pictures if you like.

I use a ScanGaugeII. It provides numeric display of up to four parameters at a time. I have mine set on top of the dash (Redneck HUD ) to monitor Vehicle Speed, Water Temp (IMNSHO, the dash bar graph sucks), and Intake Air Temp. The fourth slot varies, depending on what I'm curious about that day.


I would like to have something that will tap into the CAN bus (eg, the DM-100) in at least one of the triple-gauge holes.

Here is a short video of a PLX DM-6 powering on in a G35 that we did a short while back. I know this isn't a 370Z or stock location but gives an idea of what it would look like. These gauges are extremely thin and I don't think there would be any problem getting one of them to install in one of the factory pods due to the thickness.

I think my mind is made up. I am going to get and install these over the winter season.

Just a heads up if you are replacing the stock 3 gauges, the dash has to come out I believe to get the stock gauges out & wire in the new ones.

Yeah I was looking at that. It seems that you can either take the stock gauges apart and get around having to pull the dash. Or pull the dash and keep the gauges intact.

If this is incorrect let me know. I would rather not wreck the stock gauges, but if I can find some cheap wrecker ones somewhere then it would be that big of a deal.

The 2010 FSM is available in the Nissan 370Z Owners Manual / Service Manuals area of this site. It should tell you how the factory-trained techs do it. Might not be the best or easiest method, but it works.

That is what I have seen, now ripping out the dash is not the end of the world it will probably be a day to get it out properly with out tearing it apart.

To know when you have gone to far, here is the entire dash stripped from a local car.

Gross, that was all just to get at the 3 gauges? or was there another reason to tear it apart?

That was for some other stuff, just showing you what it looks like if you go full tear down. I don't think I have a picture of it saved but I have seen the dash out and it looks like a lot also but the dash is one large piece so that is why.

I see the PLX sensor box dangling there on the passenger side.

theDreamer

Yep, this is Ron's car.
They were fixing some noises behind the dash and they would find something but hear something else so they kept tearing it down more & more. They fixed it and no more issue, but wow that is insane to put back together.
