in the australian exas we already have volts and oil gagues on top of the dash.
But 10 point it looks great, only on thing where does your air come from now, maybe you could drill some small holes around the three gagues to let the air through

You know what would be mad, putting gauges in the door vent. You can flip it out when you want to look at it and put it away when you dont. Just a thought? Would it work???

NismoPlsr your interior is unreal. It has a real race look to it and the guages add to that look (ie: exposed screws and stuff :D )

Kris,

I am in the process of that right now. Did you block off the vent behind the guages?(how?)

How do I get the vent out of the car (without taking the top of the dash off) so I can put in my new one?

hey

just wondering if the actual exa came with a boost display....

like i know they were only in japan, but has it ever been seen?

N13s dont have a boost guage cos they dont have any boost to measure :rolleyes:

N12s have a boost guage but it only registers +/- 5 pounds

is that gauge pod in the middle of the dash actually a part of the dash? or is it seperate? i want one...

Packrat, on the Aussie cars it's part of the dash. I've been wanting to get one for almost two years now, even made a post or two with no help. I still want it but I've given up.

Hey,
looks awesome guys! Im planning on doing something similar on my n12 with a carbon fibre pannel and having my boost switch on there, plus maybe sometihng else - rocket launchers maybe? lol
Sam

P.S. the standard boost guage on N12's measure -/+5 Hmmg, not psi - similar, but slightly different readings...

It would be sweet if you had lights, like warning lights and a shift light hiding behind the slats of an air vent. This would be in much the same way that Keyroo has fog lights hiding behind slats in his front bar.

I'll try to snap some pics of the boost gauge this weekend for you all... I do have some work in progress pics up, engine bay is sort of a mess, but thats the point, its all being gone through to claen it all up.
