Gauge pod

[Sweety]

As i've not been able to find another MK3-4 centre dash cheap enough (not going to pay top price just to cut it up:clap) & really want to get my gauges in I made a start on making up a little gauge pod to fit into the front of the cubby hole infront of the gear sticks to house my gauges, a switch for the foot well lights (to be fitted yet) & a USB port to make connecting things to the stereo easy as the stereo has a rear USB. Dug out some MDF & ply out of the shed & made a start

After mixing up some fibreglass & body filler I blended & smoothed the bits & spent over an hour sanding it down then gave it a coat of black paint, looks very rough at the min but it'll all be getting vinyl wrapped after i've done a little filling around the USB port. Not the best place for the gauges but it'll have to do for now until I manage to get another dash at the right price:augie

Your new T2 has a sort of 1/2 circle shaped opening infront of the gear sticks below the ash tray well this pushes into the opening & is a very snug fit

Edit: your spot on R1cho doing it in carbon effect vinyl to match the other bits i've done

That'll be the cubby that everything rolls out of

Well got it vinyl wrapped today & what a pig of a job it was to the pod:doh Still got to wire everything in & plumb in the boost gauge but should get that done in the next few days if it stops raining

Yip it'll control the blue foot well lights once I get the fitted:thumbs had it in my last T2:augie Got the boost gauge plumbed in today & this turbo acts a little different to the one in my old SWB as that one hit 1.2 bar at around 2250rpm & stopped there where this one hit 1 bar at 2250rpm but when you get close to 3000rpm it peaks to 1.3 bar & holds all the way to the red line, wonder if Nissan have changed something:nenau
