Interior Pics, Gauge Layouts etc.

[Allan74]

I am still trying to figure out how to mount everything TASTEFULLY, as I am 100% against surface mounting gauges, as I think it looks gay, especially in a Street Car. The ONLY thing that should ever be considered to be surface mounted is a BIG TACH....that's it...and even then, sometimes it shouldn't.

Pillar mounts are cool....I have nothing against them. 'Dash' extensions etc. are gay.

Anyways, dig through your pics archives and post up some nice shots to share and give ideas with.
I have a few here that IN MY OPINION are labeled to MY TASTE and shouldn't be considered the be-all and end-all, as everyone has their own taste.

Here we go....

the endless side mount triple pod is a good piece

[Aaron]

I modeled my interior after Will's old Gts-t. The one that was sold and then totaled, it may have been before you time Allan so I'm not sure. The gauges were Defi BF and I mounted them on the dash, ran the wires behind the dash. It was a pretty clean set-up. The Defi control unit was in the center console hatch along with my Sat Radio hidden away.

I had Boost, oil pressure and was in the process of adding oil temp and a PFC before I sold my car. PFC would have been water temp, injector duty, etc... And I would have put it right where the GTR's clock is.

I have to go find a photo...

[Allan74]

Oh, I know Will Wong's car. I almost bought it......but decided on a GTR instead.

While searching for this, I found your thread on the Haltech. Good choice, it's IMO the best ECU on the market right now for cost VS. what you get. I was thinking about it for myself for a while so I could have the DASH unit to monitor everything for the RX7.

The thing I like best in an R32 is a STOCK center DIN area. Hiding everything else makes it looks so much better. Zulu ran a similar setup to what I did (well, I installed his stuff... so).. he just had oil temp and a PFC in addition. It was basically exactly how I was planning to do mine if I kept my car.

The one thing I did over Will was trim down the pedistal area. He just left it all and threw some tape on and stuck it to the dash. I used a dremel to trim it down and re-painted the mounts. A long with the Defi daisychain system and only having to have one wire go through the dash it looked very nice. Easy to read at the track.

[Aaron]

My old setup is very similar to what I'm doing in the RX7. Someone makes a pod that fits in the center of the dash where a useless speaker is...

I don't think it's looking too good for me, in terms of running a Haltech right now.
I can't see my AEM setup selling that quickly, unless I lower the price considerably and almost give it away......as there is NO WAY my wife will let me have 2 ECUs at the same time, trying to sell one, if you know what I mean. So no Haltech till the AEM is long gone......otherwise, I may just find myself sleeping in my GTR...lol

[Allan74]

On that note....

Would someone mind pasting this into my ECU For Sale thread please....

Everything is still for sale. Please contact Allan directly at akinakin@shaw.ca if you are interested. Thanks.

[Allan74]

Aaron, I saw that you got that for me....thanks very much.

I have to say, 'Aaron' is a pretty decent guy.

I hope this doesn't affect the ongoing JD74/Falcon Blood Fued ;)

[Aaron]

I`m not falcon on here :D

Members over there bring out the worst in me. When you get un-banned we can go at `er again...

[archaeic_bloke]

here you go, mine's not finished though... the end result will be 2 more defi BF gauges in the center console, followed by the Defi link control unit, and a greddy auto timer and greddy profec B spec II aaaannnd a traction controller....

relocated the climate control to where the cigarette lighter and ashtray used to be, i like the idea of being in a cockpit style seat, where all the controls are within arms reach and are visible.

oh ya it`ll all be mounted flush and clean on a black and red weave carbon kevlar backing plate.

[archaeic_bloke]

holy mother of big photos.. maybe someone could re-size them somehow? lol sorry guys!

[DarkCaporaL]

bigger is always better

[DrMango]

bad pic for me but this is my interior as it sat a year ago at the start of my rebuild. Need a new steering wheel because ive worn mine pretty good.
All of the cluster gauges are red to match the defi gauges like archaeic_bloke's car is setup.
I left room for the other defi BF that I need to get soon.

Kyle

[Allan74]

here you go, mine's not finished though....
That night-time pic is nice. Everything matching up nicely with the Red LEDs.

Where did you get your lights/LEDs from ?

I am looking to do my complete interior as well including Heater Controls (which I believe you did as well ?).

[DrMango]

The lights are easy to change to red. I took all mine out and took the bulbs to the parts store and just matched them up. I didn't use LEDs and they came out just a bright and as red as my defi gauges so it all matches nicely

[Zacho]

DrMango has the right idea IMO, those pictures JD74 posted of them on the din panel are good too.


Those glove box gauges are completely worthless if you ask me. If I remember right sitting in mcflys car I couldn't even open the glovebox without it hitting my knees 1/2 way down anyway. How can you have someone/or yourself sit in the passenger seat and tune/watch gauges when you cant even open the glovebox. And when you're driving are you gonna put your head in the passenger seat and gaze at them???

Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine. I just personally see the glovebox as a useless place for gauges. Controllers/ecus and stuff its a good spot though.

Here was my previous setup...no in-car pics. I now have the boost controller below and one more gauge on there. My wideband is in a special place.

[DrMango]

Is that just a peice of plastic on there Zacho?

Do you do LED lights in the xbox buttons?

Kyle

[Zacho]

It is recylced UHMW I believe, but whatever it is works well.

Yes I do, but that controller I was in the middle of setting up a timer/switch for the rapid fire mod for cod5 :p

[DrMango]

What is a UHMW? It looks good to me

How easy is it to drill out the buttons for the lights and to install them?

Kyle

[Rapier46]

I will never put a gauge on my dash of pillars. i want as much view as possible. putting it in the center console is great. glovebox i find useless. you have to lean over to see it? might as well put it in the back seat imo

[Skym]

Interesting subject.

My car has the same Apexi boost gauge (30sec playback, peak, warning, etc) in same location as this car at 2:09 in videoclip -

YouTube- SOLD!! HCR32 2.4L K27 TURBINE OVER 400PS

It's out of view when driving and 30sec playback, peak record means you don't need to look at gauge.

I want to eventually get a portable PC (touch screen) with Nistune running on it, so can display digital gauges like Watertemp, Injector duty cycle, AFM voltage, etc and can datalog gauges, adjust tune via Nistune tuning software, run a wideband off portable PC to autotune fuelmaps via Nistune tuning software, etc.

The ability to do this is one of the reasons why I chose Nistune over other ECU options.

I was looking at a Mini-Mustang Touch Tablet PC for example with 4x USB ports (one for wideband, one for Consult cable, etc), Windows XP pro, LAN, WiFi, etc -

http://www.ieoem.com/mini-mustang_specifications.htm

Don't know if I will ever get to do it, but you can dream about doing it. :)

[mcfly]

Yes it is, works very well.

Kyle, it's reconstituted plastic products. Zach and I used 1/4 inch think.

Damn I bet that stays in place better then my peice of CF. I can't figure out a good way of keeping it solid without screws/rivets. Everyone always touches it and pushes on it and eventually it starts to break the double sided tape..

[Allan74]

Here is essentially what I would like to accomplish......nice and smooth center console....

[DrMango]

Thats a sexy console section. I like how it is around the shifter. Can you buy those like that or is that something custom?

Kyle

[Snow]

FYI, for any that are interested, I have pulled my center vent and I'm looking at getting custom gauge pods made up for that location. Either 2 60's or 3 52's. I'll make a post when I get costs and everything together... many people here be interested? Any idea what kind of pricing you would like to see? Materials? etc?

[R32 Godzilla]

I think one of those is an altimeter....wow...car must be able to fly!!

[DarkCaporaL]

What the hell is that thing stiking out and hitting the passenger seat??

[rb-racer]

It's possibly the choke pull

[Gaelen]

Mine isnt very exciting right now, I installed the turbo timer where the clock was and looking for a wideband to fit in the ash tray so I can hide it when needed

http://www.gaelennorman.ca/images/GTR/IMGP6526.jpg

[Snow]

Wouldn't an AFR in the ash tray be a little out of sight? Depends if you plan on watching it constantly/down the strip, or just using it when tuning...

[Gaelen]

I don't really have any plan to keep a constant eye on it, I'll open it for track days and tuning, the really important times to me to keep an eye on mixtures.

[89gtr]

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b157/JayD_25/sky5-1.jpg

here is my interior pic.
i removed the ashtray and installed my edfc and boost controller,my girlfriend kept on unplugging the edfc with here feet,it use to be just on the passenger side of the cig lighter.
they are a little crooked right now,but up and out of the way.also there is a engine start button where the cig lighter use to be,previous owner.and a boost gauge on the a pillar,also added the much need cupholder.
i installed the nardi wheel,this was an awesome upgrade.the old momo wheel was to flat and it just wasn't comfortable to drive.i am 5'11,and with my seat back to the way i liked for the reach for the pedals,it felt like my arms where to short in cornering,to much of a reach,so i would move my seat up,but then i felt cramped.and i noticed on stock wheels that they have a little concave to them.
the deep corn was on sale,so i bought it,and my problem was fixed.
upgrades to my interior will be,the red stiche shifter boot and e brake boot and would like to get the white nismo shift knob,and the nismo 3 gauge pod,and someday lengthen the wires for my edfc and boost controller so they sit straight.

[DrMango]

Well Im liking what other people have on the go in their interiors and I'm getting some ideas. Gaelen what turbo timer did you put in the clock location you mentioned? It looks like the same HKS one I have, and if so I want to buy a new cluster bezzle so I can copy you!

Kyle

[Gaelen]

it's a greddy unit with the detached face plate. I didnt need to get a new bezel, I just took the clock apart and expoxied the timer into the clock bracket and screwed it back in.

I forgot my camera that day so I didnt get any pictures :( But I can explain how to do it if you'd like

It just sits there but the trim keeps it in place when it is snapped back in. If anyone is wondering about the climate control wire length, it stretch's down with out cutting.

I was just saying that I would need a new bezzle. I dont have one with the clock in that spot. I have a couple buttons there for my front spoiler and a blank button. I removed the spoiler anyways and liked where you put the turbo timer. I think my HKS one would fit there too so Ill have to find a parts car with one of the bezzles like yours

my gtst actually came from japan just like that:p

The gtr no longer has climate control which makes it easier.
Any reason you choose just five gauges? Why not make it a round six.

Well..... The Power Fc pretty much covers most of the engine parameters and A Blitz boost controller does boost. I also bought an addition harness for the Blitz which was monitoring injector and maf voltages.
The greedy gauges monitor oil pressure,fuel pressure,egt,oil temp and a innovate wide band.
That was enough for me...hehe.
The blitz harness is just sitting there right now, do you have any suggestions for three channels of voltage monitoring?

[M13]

Chris, you can make 3 60mm's.

[326_godzilla]

I'm trying to keep mine as clean as possible, i like the idea of the turbo timer being where the clock is!

Need to find the cleanest spot for the boost gauge. I'll post a pic soon...

[Allan74]

Need to find the cleanest spot for the boost gauge. I'll post a pic soon...
Right above your right knee.......in the round vent. It has been done many times with great results from what I have seen on other guy's builds.
Nice and 'clean'......

[Snow]

^^^ Although I find it "clean" I find it quite inefficient for something you would want to monitor on the fly like a boost gauge.

IMO something like Water/Oil Temp would be perfect there. Boost psi, AFR etc. not so much. But that's just my perspective.

[DrMango]

I used to have a defi boost gauge in the round vent and its quite easy to monitor there. I liked it there better then over in the center stack like I have it now.

Kyle

[Oakville]

I used to have a photo of the climate control being relocated to the centre console, I found it in a build on gtrc....now I cant find it though. they kept the ashtray and ran 6 guages and their deck...it looked awesome. anyone know who im talking about?

[mcfly]

so they moved it to the glove box?

[BNR32]

BTW it is from Caliber676's build thread on GTRC.

[Allan74]

I really like that, although I am planning on puttin' the CD player there in my car. HHmm.....maybe room for both ?

[BNR32]

Haha maybe, wont be much for storage, but theres always the other glove box.

[archaeic_bloke]

allan i thought of putting a CD player there too.. the problem is CD's can't be read vertically in most units...

you'd have to make sure it ran without issue first. then you need to extend the wiring loom.

[Allan74]

Well, it (CD) will have to go in the Glovebox then unfortunately, because I think my gauges are going to take up most of the center console......atleast 2din worth, maybe 3.

[archaeic_bloke]

i ditched the audio system entirely in my car.. i bought my car with the stock radio in it.. and didnt feel the need to change it for 2 years... starting year 3 during my tear down i just decided forget it.. speakers and amps are gone...lol

i drive with the windows down mostly... and i like to hear the sounds of the car

[DrMango]

Ive been stereo-less for about 4/5 years owning my car.
Windows down with the RB20 song playing all the time

Kyle

[Skym]

My car has stock cassette headunit, etc.

A song to listen to while driving is the Bathurst song -

YouTube- 2000 FAI 1000 Bathurst Highlights Part 2

[archaeic_bloke]

LOL... thats amazing,

what do people do when they crash their $100, 000 cars at the track? .. put more money and rebuild? sponsors?

[Skym]

I think more than $100,000 for those V8 supercars.

Depends on the damage. Some pit crew use hammers on fenders, so they clear tyres (don't rub), tape hood shut, etc. They rebuild the cars after race or have a few spare chassis / cars.

[Allan74]

Thunderstruck is the Bathurst song ? .......lol

[mcfly]

my boss has 4 nascar can tire chassis' and one prostock being built for himself right now.

There should be. I can imagine that being dangerous as hell. I would never rock them while driving because I would feel uncomfortable.

Sucks to see a silvia defaced like that. Such a clean interior OEM

Kyle

[Snow]

As bad as that is, it wouldn't take too too much to clean it up. I'm sure you could use the tach still (as a boat anchor, or a block for behind you wheels when your e-brake gives away) and you could hide all the surface mounted gauges somewhere. Then just take off those ridiculous cup holders and stickers... few find touches here and there and voila. Somewhat saved from disaster...

What do you want to bet that half the gauges on that dash don't even read out. Probably not even hooked up ha.

[DrMango]

What do you want to bet that half the gauges on that dash don't even read out. Probably not even hooked up ha.

The exterior is likely to be 10 x worse than the interior so there is no point in cleaning up the clutter inside. I would say that those gauges would be too hard to make any sense of while driving the car. You would probably hit something trying to find your boost reading lol

The gauges, from the top left are - oil temp, oil pressure, wideband
The single gauge in the din slot is my boost gauge, as the cliche dash placement was kind of bright / attention grabbing..

So when your screen is up you can't see your boost gauge...?

Hummmmm...

Yea, but i never use it unless im on long drives, at which point looking at the boost gauge is useless.. If i'm at the track, im sure the screen will be the last thing i need to look at lol. Besides, my Greddy profec is where the gtr clock normally is, and i can see it very well.. Actually, having the boost gauge is more aesthetics over functionality since the ebc reads peak boost and gives far more information anyways.. The mechanical boost gauge just acts as a secondary reference but in whole integers which isn't accurate when you want to run 14.7 lbs..

I would have personally not used the eyelids for the gauges, but I really think you did a good job. Good stuff.

I seriously think this is the best look.

Clean factory jobs that take two looks to notice are the best in my opinion but the last few do look good nothing jumping out and saying JAPPANNNN!!!

Only issue i found without them is substantial glare from the window @ night.. Horrid to drive with, especially on long trips.. All i can see is 2 white smears and; yellow, green, red, green,green, red.. (wideband).. Such a freakin nuissance. But i agree, it looks cleaner without :(
