Zardilla Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Folks Here are a few photos of the new gauge combo I put in my 240z. Still haven't gotten the wiring finished, nor the engine rebuilt, but with luck these will serve the purpose well.

cygnusx1 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Very classy looking gauges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abes Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 FINALLY!! I looked all over the web for someone to show a picture of those installed when I was looking for guages. I had seen them a while ago and thought they looked great but I wasn't 100% on them. Great choice.... By any chance do you have any pics of them lit up? Thanks.

Zardilla Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 unfortunately they aren't fully wired up yet. It will be a few months before I'm finished but I will make sure to post up night pics with the gauges illuminated. Hopefully you can wait a bit. Looks like you are doing a RB swap as well - good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abes Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm some what in the same boat as far as time goes. It'll be a few months before I get started on the swap. I have all the major items but I need to finish up some house projects before I get started on the hobbies.. Good luck and keep us posted.... Abe..

palosfv3 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Were installing a set in our 260z build . I cant believe anyone would consider any other guages. These are of exceptional quality : adjustable led lighting , metal bezels , complete individual wiring harness provided with each guage, programable fuel guage that works with all sending units, but the best advavntage is the ability to customize the guage face fonts ,colors and bezels .

ragefear Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I thought the gauge pods were 5 inch? Am I wrong or did you find something to cone into the 4 inch gauges? They do look really good btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zardilla Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 The stock gauge faces are very close to 4" in diameter. I think the 5" diameter you refer to relate to the Autometer gauges most people run instead. Look for some pictures in other user's albums and you can see the Autometer tach/speedo sits nearly flush with the top of the gauge pod(eg closer to the steering wheel), whereas the ones I'm using can set down inside the pod like the stock stuff. I used a dense weather strip foam as a spacer around the outside of the Speedhut gauges and then modified the back of the stock metal gauge pods to run the wires. I think they came out reasonably good, but not perfect as you can see in the close ups. I wanted to run Defi all around but they only make a tach in the 4" and so it was nice to see that Speedhut had a similar look to match these up. I am also running a Greddy boost gauge, so in the end nothing matches exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragefear Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I love the way they look, their odometer, and shift light! I like how you can send them a logo and have them plaster it on there as well. Now if they just made dual gauges! BAH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragefear Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 so how do you intend on figuring out how much fuel is left in your tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zardilla Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 good q - I ran the volt/fuel gauge into the glove box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
