Blodyell how did you get your head in the window at that speed!!!

 

Chris..

what is the bit that says "dakota"?, very nice dash mate looks really good

Dakota digital instruments, they make dashes for you dont they?

Thats right they made the dash for me. The Dakota bit only comes up when it's is display mode like you can see in Apache's picture. that part would normally show the miles.

Trick bit is it can time your 0-60, 0-100, Standing 1/4 mile with terminal speed and loads more. I cant stop playing with it.

 

Chris..

if you dont mind me asking mate can you use standard sensors and how much

I had a look at it at JAE and thought it was superb chris, awesome bit of kit :D

Was it easy to wire all up?

The unit was not cheep, as it was a one off. but it uses all the standard sensors altho when it came it came with a full set of sensors with it. All the wireing now goes to one main unit. from ther it has a harness to the dash display. The whole thing is programable with two push switches now sitting below the radio. They were also able to build a small unit into the dash mounted clock (it was broken) so that now reads time, date and outside temp. all at the touch of a switch.

Hi Chris,

 

Does look good :) Would they be able to make variations of it? What sort of price was it?

 

Cheers

 

Vijay

That looks super sweet.

 

I'm jealous...

All right mate, how ya do in.

 

Long time no see,

 

As far as I know they can design it how you wont it. Thats how I wanted it and thats what I got. There are a lot more things I could have had built in to it but I thought that was enough..

The cost was around $1000 not cheep by the time you get it all into the country. Unless you know some one who can get it in for you..

 

Dont thing it is to hard to fit all the wireing is behind the dash all you have to do is identify it all and conect it into a small box like brain..Sounds easy dont it.....

 

 

Chris..

Ok, now I'm completely torn! That looks fantastic to me but it leaves me with the hard decision: do I go with SPA digital guages or Dakota. Aesthetically, the Dakota are winning in my mind, but I know for a fact how well engineered and accurate the SPA stuff is. It's definately going to be one of those two for my own project car though. Nice work indeed :) BTW, anyone in particular I should speak to at Dakota for more info? If you had a point of contact for your Z32 pod it would be great to know if that's ok?

 

Cheers,

 

Leigh.

Looks awsome mate!

On a different note, where did you get that front spoiler. Is it an add-on to the original unit? I've been looking for something similar for ages! Like the bonnet bulge too. It suits the car well.

That, my friend, looks absolutely fantastic!! Hats off to ya!

OK front spoiler is a Stillen front lip and the bonnet bulge is something I found that is made for a 96 Mustang.

I think that is one of the best looking fronts I've seen. Not too OTT but gets rid of that flat fish look. Are the spoilers available in the UK?

Spoilers aren't available from the uk. I've spoken to Dan from DTA will hopefully source one for me. As of yet no word from Stillen though as Dan has not pm-ed me.
