I'm after some gauges that look look similar to the OEM dials in the dash. Does anyone know of any manufacturers that make them. I've found some made by smiths international which I quite like:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, I don't really like the range in the water gauge going to 150 as it renders most of the scale pointless and the nominal operating temp will sit low down in the scale. They sell this style which has a much better scale but I don't really like the fact that they don't match the boost gauge with the full sweep:

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do you reckon?

Any other manufacturers that make something similar?

smiths pmsl:biggrin:

whats the point in having oil pressure gauges that go to 10 bar ffs and your right about the range on them too..every one likes to see the boost gauge swing right over the dial in time to the "whoosh-pssttt" not just rise 5 mm off the stop pin:huh:

have a look at these mate

Sorry rolandas, not a fan of them, they have them wired smoked black domes over the top and only come with brushed aluminium bezels.

 

Zedwizz, I like them! They are not exactly what I was looking for but they are nice and simple and have an oem flavour. I'm considering buying the job lot to replace all the dials so they match.

Had the same idea mate

Just can't work out where to put the additional gauges that won't fit in the cluster. I can't stand pillar pods and I don't have a din slot free :(

in the glove box ... i need a few more gauges my self and going to make a holder for in there

as other ones made for the 300z are stupid prices for what it is ..

I think you should make a custom hat, reverse all the dials so when you look in the rearview mirror..BINGO! tell i`ve had me shreddies eh!

Good plan. I'll use mechanical gauges and run the pipes up the back of the seat so I also get heated seats.

Not an ideal solution for me tbh
