You can always go with a single din stereo, and get a Din panel, and throw 3 gauges there. Or, if you don't have navigation system, throw it in there and close the door. I was going to go with the Din setup, but I have 60mm gauges, and wouldn't really fit there, only 52mm will fit there I believe.

Count me in.

 

hey bill, there is ALOT of hoops to jump through for this! lotec e-mailed me a sheet on EXACTLY what we would need to do to get this ball rolling. p/m me your e-maik add. and ill foward it to you. but your going to need to give them 2 pillars (one grey, one black ) and they will not return them! we will need like 30 prepaid orders just to start! i cant remember all the details, but like i said ill e-mail them to you! mabey it will be easier cuz your so close to them?? i hope so! good luck man!

 

DeeZee, e-mail me when u get a sec, ravaz@ravaz.com. Or hit me on AIM, ravaz1.

yeah, I thought about that, just didn't plan on buying a stereo before boost.

Will these gauges be easy for everyone outside the car to see, even with a little tint on the car (not limbo or real dark tint)???

 

That's a good question, I'm not really sure. I mean, if your windows are down, yeah everyone will see it, no doubt. But if you have a little tint and the windows are all the way up, it will probably be harder to see it. I guess only one way to find out

Well, I remember pulling up beside this guy with seemed like a hundred gauges right on his window. I wasn't exactly jumping to run with him a little, lol.

 

Just some idea for guage positions:

 

Another:

 

Another idea:

 

That fire extinguisher looks like it's in an awfully dangerous position.

In a wreck, looks like it could take a chunk out of your passenger's head. It might interfere with airbag deployment too.

I would prefer a 3 gauge pod, but could live with 2.

 

Hmm, will this mod look like the second pic above???

 

That was the my first thoght looking at that picture...
The second was WTF that guy was thinking installing it there??? Cheap show off for friends?

 

It's going to look something like this:



But, will match the stock pillar color. I have to get off of my *** and call these guys back.

I had a Lotec full pillar mod in my 99 GSX Eclipse and the fitment was perfect, matched the stock color great. The only problem is you need to use either double sided tape, velcro, or what I did is drill a small hole (in the pillar) and a nice little plastic fastener about 1 1/2" long through the Lotec and secured it to the pillar.
Worked perfect and Stayed nice and tight because the dash held the bottom very snugly.

The last thing you want is someone ripping your velcro/taped up gauges that cost $100 - $200 each out while your running into the 7-Eleven for beer. Or in the hot summer sun going around the corner and having the hole setup falling into your lap (happened to me) because the tape gave out..

.Just something to think about when installing it, because i'm pretty sure Lotec will not put the stock fasteners in where they should be.

Sorry for the long post....

 

I must have missed this thread. What's the status on these. I'll buy a 2 or 3 gauge pillar if it looks good. Need something to hold my boost and Fuel pressure gauges.

 

Yeah, whats the word on these? Est cost?

 

The word is, I'm waiting for 2 pillars from Nissan, ordered them last week and still waiting, should be here this week. When I get those, I will take them down and they will do what they have to do to produce them. I figure 40 should be enough for now?
Cost, $100,000.00 No idea on the cost yet, I don't want to guess, but I'll call them and see what they will charge for these.
