Hey guys, im considering getting a few gauges onto my dc5 .. is it illegal to mount them on my dash, or a pilllar? .. if iput on dash, even if i have a gauge hood
hi there, the only law against gages is if they can possibly in any way interfere with you vision of the road. GTRs have gages on the dash and there not illegal because the don't interfere with vision of the road :-) hope that helps :-)
anytihng placed above the height of the dash is illegal, for the reason above,
however its really where you mount them, ontop of the dash, on the dash, and so on.
i heard that they have to be below the highest point of the steering wheel or the dash, i cant remember or dont know if thats right or not
I don't believe there illegal on your dash on top of the headunit.
Always been under the assumption they fine.
On the bonnet is another matter, they can be fine and can be defected but i don't know the specifics.
If you going to get them man, get them on the A-Pillar like on the S15, they look so nice they but keep in mind anything past head height is a defect because if you have a head on accident... basically says enough.

Thats for Victoria.
Gauges on the A-Pillar is definately illegal and defectable.
Whether the check or not is another issue.
anything above the dash is illegal unless its from factory ie. jap spec S15 boost gauge on the a pillar
you can put them in a DIN location or anything lower than the dash
Yeah, was considering the din, but i want the defi BF gauges, adn thier too big ... i was thinking of mounting them here;

I know its a small pic, but see on the lefth and side of the CD head unit, iwant my htree gauges mounted going vertically. .. havnt decided where the controller willl be mounted, possibly under the steering wheel/ cneter console?
i put mine in between the stock gauge hood and the a pillar - nice and low in the dash so it doesnt distract vision but still visible

you'd only need oil pressure anyhow...
otherwise, relocate your cd player and make a plate for three in the dash
