This is a G35, but not a typical install. I hate the way guages look, I want my car to look as stock as possible as it is my daily driver. The guages are hard to monitor on a coninous basis, but easy enough to check occasionally, or if I think something doesn't feel right. I'm planning on adding small stealth LED warning lamps in the dash to give me real time indication that something isn't right (or in the case of full boost, is right).

 

dont kill yourself looking at that

 

while i think that the idea was great, i think you might have a problem monitoring a boost spike or something similar when that happens it may be to late to know something is going wrong.

 

Very nice setup... more for show i would say!! I cant imagine looking down at that when racing or going high speed

 

Like I said, its not the best place for continous monitoring, but if the guages weren't there, I wouldn't have any at all. The G35 coupe with Navi doesn't offer any nice places to install guages, and there is NO way in the world I would do an Apillar mount. Also, like I said, in the near future I'll have an LED to warn me of lean conditions (at WOT only), an LED to indicate full boost, and an LED to indicate overboost, all stealthily hidden in my center dash.

 

The leds would be NICE!!! Please keep us updated, I am curious to see where you would mount and how it would look.... SLEEPER!!!!

 

Oil temp, Boost, AFR. A small led above the top gauge is green normally and turns red upon law enforcement contact.

 

I'm not a HUGE fan of the A-pillar pods either... it just screams boosted!

If I do go FI, I may position them in a little more stealth manner from a competitors point of view.

The first is my favorite (a member on here), but I would like to retain my stock gauges...

The other, a different location entirely...

The last, a skirt or indv. pod blinders... Something between the A-pillar pods and window that would help screen the glowing gauges. Something that would not impale you if you were to get in an accident.

my g35c

 

here you go...lol

 

I guess that is one way to mount a guage. I like my a/c to much on hot days though.

 

NOW THATS SLEEPER!!!!! are you a secret agent??????? haha

 

I have the A-pillar for boost and EGT, but for WBO2 I have this.

 

G coupe with navi

 

^^Very nice set-up on that G. Have a pic with the guages on?

 

That a nice little setup you got very clan try to cut does sides that come out and it should look perfect very smart.

 

Where is the HVAC controller on the G coupe?

 

This is this only pic I could find.
