Hey, does anyone know if gauge pods for a 1989-1998 240SX will work on our a-pillar? I'm just curious if our a-pillars are any different from the coupe/fastback models.

Not really. I mean it looks like ****. I have heard that a first gen miata fits good but I havent seen it.

the 1989-1994 pillars dont match up on the vert im sure of it

as for a gauge pod i bought an autozone one that was too big for almost any car so i fab'ed it up myself with a box cutter and sand paper it worked out for me

you can also try the first gen miata im not sure if it works ot not let me know what u did anyway

This has been discussed a few times allready and not that long ago....

USE TEH SEARCH, N00B!!!

Just bustin' your chops.

It's been rumored that the pod for a Miata fits very well with some trimming.

I bought 3 gauge pod with 3 gauge's from Glowshift on E-Bay for about $150. The gauge pod was for a coupe. It still fit. The only thing is it has a cut out for the retractable seat belt. Does not look that bad. The gauge's are good. They also have a website Glowshift.com No problem's so far Easy hook up and direction's. One day I will figure how to get picture's to go on here. They go somewhere.

Someone on here said that the a-pillar pod from a 92-95 Honda Civic would fit. I'd be interested to see pictures of that and if it really works. Although, Honda parts on a 240? Is that legal? LOL

i bought one as well, but im gonna help and upload pics. mine came in today. i dont have everything wired in yet but the fitment is decent, can be perfect if you do a little trimming. on to the pics...



if you dont mind the cutout for the automatic seatbelt guys. i dont





trimmed the ends a little to make fitment a little easier. not sure which picture it is but at the top you ca see it doesnt quite line up right, but you can fix that with a screw.





i got mine cause i out a rb20 in my vert

this was only 142 shipped and it came with 3 gauges of my choice.
