Full Pillar Gauge Pod - Closest Fit For 1996 240sx

[ChillyWilly3]

This is a Repost (original post in Turbo KA Forum):

Hey guys! I have three 2 1/16" gauges to help me monitor my engine/turbo setup. I don't like keeping them separate and I want them located where I can see them right away, so a full pillar pod is ideal. But I guess everyone already knows that there isn't one for 95+ 240sx. I have learned from ppl that an Autometer single and dual pod combined should be fine, but the last 3-5 places I had attempted to make a purchase of the single pod said they are out of stock. So my questions is: is there a place you know that still sells the Autometer single gauge pod (and have it in stock) or is there a full pillar gauge pod out there for a different car that I can use in my car with minimal modification (how about the 300ZX TT?). Thanks!

WD, ure a mod?...cool.

yeah i've heard of ppl using tt supra full pods and just heating up the pod with a blow dryer...then just using force to kind of 'remold' it to better fit the s14 piller. it has some gaps still but it works. hope that helps.

WD - thanks...unfortunately, I went to Summit Racing and they don't sell the Autometer 240sx single pod.

240sx2nr95 - thanks...I'll check the TT Supra pillar gauge pod from a friend who already has one. I hope there's not a lot of cutting and heating though.

Oh well, my quest for the elusive full pillar gauge pod continues...

in my 91 i use a pod from the 300zx, it fits pretty snug

Thanks nismokid. Would you know if the shape of the pillar of your 91 240sx is close in shape to the pillar of a 95+ 240sx?

Not sure if 91-94 240sx has a very different pillar shape and length because of its different body style, or because of the groove that runs along the side for the motorized seatbelt, or both, or something else.

In any case, I will check out the pillar shape of a friend's 91 240sx and see if the 300zx triple gauge pod can be another alternative.
