Gauge mounting suggestions?

Check out racepods.com...I think you will find what you like...

Hmm, I like. Now if only the site could be a little more complete.

I thought where I mounted my blitz R-VIT was a rather clever location...extremely visible too. It seems like a lot of the custom gauge setups are impractical because they're mounted near the ashtray...which is blocked by the shifter most of the time, and which are impossible to view w/o taking your eyes off the road...

Anyway, here's where mine is:

I'm looking for some guages, so why wouldn't you use Autometer and what would you use instead?

meh. i've had bad luck with them. it's 90% preference, but my past experience, I just don't like them. gauges that read slightly off, gauges that fail, etc. I run greddys now and couldn't be happier.

Here's a picture of the way i have my two gagues mounted(oil press, water temp) i modified a Border Meter panel from a rhd 180 to fit the lhd, the fitment is eh, ok, but it works.

Later on, I want to put the turbo timer where the boost controller is, along with the R-VIT I want to put the SBC by the ashtray and get a boost, oil pressure, fuel pressure, oil temp gauges and put them where the tray is.

i would like to think its a race car i chose autometer because i have a 2jz and a 6spd in my car and it was easier to have all new gauges and its tough to get all gages that look the same...but the odometer is in the speedo...its a digital display..the fuel level is in the making, and im actually makin a new center console cluster that will go all the way up to the top of the vents and look smoother....that was my first fiberglass experience.

i wasn't talking badly about your setup. I said 'odometer? fuel level? race car?' as in... do you have an odometer or fuel level or is this your race car.

and a 2jz? but your name says RB25DET?2jz in an S14 is hot though. My friend has a 1JZ in his 13.
