in victoria you can get away with having gauges on your A-pillar provided that the gauge itself when sitting in the drivers seat, doest not obstruct field of vision. i run two drift digital gauges in drift cups on my A-pillar and have been pulled over several times with them and have never been told off for them. i went thru the vicroads guide to modifications and it does not state anything about A-pillar gauges (there is a whole section on bonnet mounted gauges but im not going there)

with these stories you hear of people getting oil all over them when they are driving, it's because they didn't have all their weetbix that morning and decided to put a mechanical guage in the cabin (which is FULLY ILLEGAL BRO)

in regards to engineers certificate, it is like a rwc, it only last for 28 days so thats why you would have been defected by mr plod.

and if you are going to start arguing about defect/rwc laws and put a nissan in the same sentance, you have already made a mistake. nissan's are easy targets for the police because they all get told what to go after on nissans (along with most of the turbo cars that are used for slideways action)
And they know hondas are too slow to pull away so they just dont bother with em LOL...

The only reason u would run mech gauge is if u run a old skool muscle or a very simple car mechanical vehicle, simple as that! I laugh at those who run gauges on the bonnet, do they even know the reason as to gauges on the bonnet? Tossers....
