I had that on my 240sx and it was pretty cool. Always a good conversation piece. How much is it?

I love those things. Makes you feel like you are a fighter pilot.

I like the totaly comprehensive one in my buddy's Corvette. I couldn't bear to install one of these unless it was built in and siplayed the assload of information that the Vette HUD does.

I love my HUD on my GTP, in fact, that is the thing I miss the most when driving the Z.

Not sure I'd do one just stuck up on the dash, though. This is a great driver safety feature, IMO, though.

this particular unit will show up during the day.. it has a 'reverse' projection, so technically, you can mount this on the roof and see your boost levels in the rear view mirror

my friend has this on his A6 2.7T... its sooo cool. just thought ppl might be interested..

I'd be interested in a working Technosquare ECU [insert drum track]

I'm just playin'. That looks really good. Do you have to manually switch from mph to speed to boost? Or does it rotate? Also whats the cost and the installation difficulty?

How does this thing connect ? If its to the ODBII diag. port we should be able to get quite a bit of interesting engine info. Would make a good fill in for those who don't have nav - an LCD panel in the exiting "hole". Take a look at what you can get via OBDII and how some freeware PC softare can graph/log/report etc. If we knew the CAN codes there's almost no limit to what could be displayed for almost every bit of electronics on the Z. ( the CAN bus is also available via the OBDII conector ).

Hmmm, always wanted one of those. I might have to look into it, after somebody else does first of course.


Don't really like the way it perches on the dash though.
