I see you used a plexiglass face plate but how did you cut it without it cracking.

I don't like your setup very much.. You should have angled the panel which you have your boost meter an A/F meter on, to the same angle as the outer edge around that area - that boost meter would be almost impossible to read during driving!

If you have an empty DIN panel, you can fit 3 gauges there...
BLITZ makes a 3x43mm DIN panel
Omori makes 3x45mm and 3x52mm DIN panels:

here's pics of my friend's 200SX HKS glovebox bezels and HKS Camp unit..



seems like the glovebox thing is the popular thing to do, although it would probably be hard to look at during driving unless you had the meters angled like as shown above..

dremel ....i got my money worth out of this tool, especially with the turbo install and what not

the only problem with cutting plexiglass with the dremel is that the plexiglass will melt and reform, holding the piece you are trying to cut together....u have to cut a small section and then break off the old melt/reform plexiglass and move on

You can also find the HKS Camp on ebay. If you read through the description of the ones sold on ebay, you will see these are stripped down models.
Pretty cool though. Kinda Skyline R34-esq.

that isnt necessarily true. put a gauge in the left center vent angled towards the driver. this all depends if u have enough room, but if u do it works. u can adjust the sections of the vent until u have a clear view of the gauge. turn the adjusters shut and it disappears. voila. sleeper location that is well within ur sight that no one else can see

Thanks for the info. I had the same problems and that damn plexiglass smells when it melts then hardens. I kept cracking the plexiglass when I tried to cut inserts for my gauges.
Which attachment did you use?
thanks.

What kind of materials do you guys use to locate these gauges? Like is that plastic or something that you cut out to place your gauges in DIN slots? I want to place my AVC-R where my factory radio was, but I need to know what you bought.

I know that ABS plastic is one of the essential materials used by car stereo installers for a custom install... I assume some of you have used that... but Where in the world do you buy it ?

I can still see it fine located here when I look at it. But it's not in my vision the whole time so that crapo a/f gauge doesn't bother me the entire time I'm driving.

I used plexiglass that I bought from Home Depot to re-do my DIN slots in my car to hold a different stereo since the aftermarket kits wouldn't fit.
