Even if they had a oil pressure gauge the stock one probably wouldn't be that great. One is not really needed anyways on a oem na setup. But I recommend one if your running a oil cooler. Plus I love modding so it gives me a reason to buy something,

My Datsun 280Z had an analog clock in the cluster. I like the continuity (of the past) but I'd much rather have useful gauges.

Agreed, I also miss the individual tire pressure readings as well.

This I would like now. Goes with useful.

I had a serious lapse in judgement around the end of 2010 and purchased a Chevrolet Cruze--a waste of a year of car payments. However, it had a good TPMS in it--a reading for each tire. If a cheap Chevy can come with this feature standard, it shouldn't even be a question on a Z. It should be there.

Like Nissan cares what we think..

If they did, they wouldn't give us Oil overheating and fuel starvation...:stirthepot:

sonic370 07-03-2012 08:43 PM
because nissan knew the 370 had an oil temp issue but released the car anyway. so they put an oil temp gauge instead of pressure gauge. which every
sports car worth's it's weight has one, but not the 370.... and the clock was a stupid idea. that's what we all need is a clock sitting on the main docking pad...

also loved the way nissan built a imho world class 2 seater around a radio shack
base sound system.... sorry to rant but hey still love my car.........

The 370Z is the "best bang for your Buck", but the Dollar is only worth 70 cents...

:iagree: it would be better. But I think there could be better uses for those spots depending on what your plans are for the car.

I will share my plans for the centre gauge cluster when I go FI. I want to remove all of them and replace them with OIL Temp, Wide Band, Boost gauge/controller (like the AEM true boost I had in my Z32 2 different settings :driving::happydance:)
