This is like....its like.....:aw: ..........not really diggin were the SAFC comes out, it stands out to much like its a mini book shelf! but the gauges were the vents are are nice!!:bigok:

*dont know if this is a repost or not

[eastcoastS14]

thats so badass.....id definitely be down for those

[sijia10358]

this guy is keeping it on the down low!!! really really down low!!

[whiterps13]

Hell yeah, thats fuckin ganster.

I keep my gun in my stash spot...NOT.
Cuz where Im from you need that shit out, and cocked.

[Hooorahh!]

that is so hard ! haha

[Vision Garage]

I like it. Wonder how much it cost to set it up.

[gottrees]

PIMP MY DASH!!!!!

Lol.

[cxlo8331]

oh damn! that's some crazy bad a$$ shi+ right there.

[soon2bs13]

lol.. it just plops down to close...

pretty neat though...

[hustlervibes]

Hardcore sleeper... Thats some james bond shit!

[arkive43]

that is sick, looks like its wired into the ignition so when u put the key in the on position they pop out and vice versa when car is off...thats really sick like really :)

[sr20boostn20]

im not really feelin the avcr spot due to the big square on the dash

but the vent

is FIRE,

[IGSDann]

Totally kick ass, I want that.

[Dorifto89]

Europeans are weird.

[awdfury]

The vent gauges are so hot. Im jealous. Not so sure about the dash mounted afc though

[burnsauto]

wow......wont have to worry about people breaking into your car for you're gauges anytime soon.

super clean install!

[thatdrifterguy]

nice! even better if the AC still works!

[Neejay]

Yeah, its definitely sleeper. I'd come up with a way so that the top part doens't slam shut though.

[ixfxi]

i like the engineering that went into it.. i very much respect and admire that. i had to rewind at first watch and say "did vents just change into gauges"

but.... ah man, there's always a BUT with my opinions....



i really dont see the need for something like this. IMO, gauges are something that should be static and in plain sight, all the time. i know some brands can be expensive, but theres no reason they should be hidden. plus, i wouldnt want to be driving around the canyons and have these fake vents just sitting there exposed. it would be cool if they disappeared and recessed, but they dont.

the top section that pops up is OK, although a bit too square for my taste. again, the work that went into this job is more impressive than anything else.

but from a practicality standpoint, i'll have to pass. its too optimus prime for me.

[koukimonster139]

not feeling the top part,
the vents tho that shit is boss

[VB13]

god damn thats the shzznit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[status:one]

That's awesome.

i just love that people are out there doing work like this, and making look decent. :werd:

i do see what you are saying, but i think in the beautiful United States of California, they would be perfect for those who DD our track cars.. as soon as cops see gauges the first thing they say is.. "ARE YOU A RACER, POP YOUR HOOD PLEASE" then get some weeping fucked up story bout how a kid crashed his civic and killed somone

oh is that right, eh? well, in my 10+ years of owning cars with gauges, i've never ONCE had a cop pull me over and ask me to pop my hood.

actually, even when my car was stripped and had no fucking interior, let alone a dash, did i even get questioned about my motor. call me lucky. front license plate, sure... ive had billions of tickets. exhaust? well, not lots of tickets.. but a couple (thrown out in court tho)

again.... to ME, for a daily driver.. i'de be much happier having heating/ventillation/air - than gauges. thats why the din areas made so much sense, its a great place for gauges. with digital music nowadays, you dont even need a stereo. just a music player with a harddrive and some amps, done.

[blu808]

vents = hot

square dash cut = not

[SimpleSexy180]

now if he could make the vents slide into the dash...

[projectRDM]

wow......wont have to worry about people breaking into your car for you're gauges anytime soon.

super clean install!

Until now. Now that it's been posted online and everyone knows about it it'll be gone next week.

I agree with Mike, gauges shouldn't be an afterthought to go hide somewhere. If cops are pulling you over, it's not for some gauges on the dash, it's the fact that you're driving around like an ass with a loud ass shitcan exhaust. I'm sure some cops try to be a hardass and bust people, but I honestly have never seen anyone pulled over who didn't deserve it. Obey the laws, act responsible, and drive something that doesn't look like Mad Max's next project and you're not a target. And if they are pulling you over, you can thank the other kids like you who do drive like retards on public roads.

[AznDrftr.]

WOW.

that is nice, i've wanted to do that for a while, but damn.

[ixfxi]

russ = age 33
me = 29

most of the newschool 240sx community = less than 25

with that said, you start to think differently after you've been around long enough, and dealt with enough bullshit. i deal with customers everyday, and you start to laugh at some of the stories and characters around.

its not just about the 240 community, but other car clubs as well. russ is right, if you do a good job and keep it clean, chances are you wont get harassed by the majority.

[Flipzide]

i'm not diggin the top, but the hidden gauges behind the air vent is pretty cool.

[lflkajfj12123]

that shit is boss transformers style

i got pulled over exiting a shell gas station with a bunch of friends. no revving. no taking off crazy. just because.

kthxbye.

[kouki24d]

:eek::eek: Flame Proof.

[Tops*]

I agree with everyone that it is indeed nice work, but having the vents just chilling there when the gauges are visible is a downfall, I think. It should have been designed like a motorized single DIN DVD player.

I guess over here in Michigan, I have the luxury of not having to worry about cops...or having my gauges stolen. I still take precautionary steps when driving by cops though. I make sure they have no reason to pull me over. Windows rolled down (20% tint), off the throttle, and of course speed limit, seat belt, etc. Then park garage style.

[HalveBlue]

What Mike and Russ said.

I wouldn't sport it, that's for sure.

But whatever, to each his own.

[FaLKoN240]

If the gauge cluster's rotated around, to conceal the gauges it would be a lot cleaner and cooler, but for the most part that's an awesome start.

[downshift_sideways]

Thats pretty fucking sweet.

I'd rock one, fuck yea.

[KnightRyderx2]

That looks pretty cool. I do agree through the S-AFC is way to high should have rethought that one. Anyways, I give him an A+ for effort...

driving/caring about a 240sx at the age of 29 = priceless.






The top part is too much in view, it takes like the whole vision from the front dash, but the vent swap is pretty nifty.

[GabeS14]

Thats pretty sweet!

[Nismoknightska-t]

someone needs to do a write up asap..:aw:

[sideview_180sx]

i like clearcorners mikes layout, simple yet effective. plus since its red easier on the eyes at nightdriving. smooth setup mike.

[CKAMC]

IDK I like the top view to be honest, like to have A/C with no gaps or mods for s13/14 cars (aka not many s15 people here of course).

anyways, the mod looks hot to me when you have that top s15 like navigation spot turn into gauges along with the pasanger side airbag section turn into gauges of lesser importance

anyways thats is some nice work still

[EchoOfSilence]

http://clearcorners.com/products/nissan/240sx1/imgs/featcarE09.jpg



hrm.

who's car is this? wanna hook me up with those red bulb-condoms? :wink:


seriously though, nice setup. easy on the eyes, yes. but since contrast is low, it makes it harder for me to actually read get a reading, cuz the color blends in so easily

[TRU_DAH-V]

damn those airvent gauges are pimp! too bad there is no more a/c

MAN you need to be in cali to know what im talking about.. so im In eagle rock (city between Glendale and Pasadena) no fucking joke im driving looking for a gas station and some cops drove right behind be, so i knew what this was about, reset my odo to clock how long they follow me so i can bitch em out, no shit 8 fucking miles every street i made a tottal of 3 turns and was followed, finally found a damn chevron and they drove in and they circled me 3x.. that was the last straw!(good thing LAPD has camera's on their dash recording everything) i approach and ask if there was an issue and i have them following me for a while, their exact words.. "eh just seing if i felt like pulling you over for modified exhaust, but now im seeing if there's just anything else you have illegal". then they just drove away.. i was like wtf..
im in ontario.. RANDOM PORTABLE SMOG STATION WTF!!!.. i gotta get outa here..

so yes i agree, im young but thanks to the young and dumb

LOL .. i was gona say it but didnt want to offend you

that is the truth.. AGE.. if we were rockin the same car with them same crazy ass gauges and got pulled over.. im moore likely to be given a hard time..

[tougemII]

yah i've seen that portable smog crap. its dumb..but w.e.....

on other words..that shit is pretty cool. like everyone said...square thing = bad...vents = dope..

ps. great idea to stash the goodies ;) if u know what i mean

[undesiredshoe]

It would be cooler if the vents fliped up to act as a visor since tinted gauges suck.

[Neejay]

It would be cooler if the vents fliped up to act as a visor since tinted gauges suck.I beg to differ. I guess it depends on the quality of the gauges. My Prosport ones show up just fine in the daylight, but dim like Defis when off.

Well, think about who drives in Eagle Rock. the civic crews are still roamin around. the hondatech meets are still happening. it's why they're stepped up in that area

[BAY240]

anybody have more pics of sweet gauge setups?

[Sonic Motor]

omg....soooo baller with SAFC, everyone at work agreees lol

[rb25_s13*CHUKI]

That was pretty sweet

[NinjaMode]

:eek: Damn! thats bad a$$

[heychris]

LOL that's funny!

I agree w russ and mike. Keep your sh++ clean and don't drive like a punk.


well they invented people and the universe so...

[k's_silvia2.0]

You have to be SOOOO paranoid to install those.

[godzillarb]

You have to be SOOOO paranoid to install those.

I think it's the "look at me, I'm gay" factor. Same reason people install stupid things like lambo doors.

[Jlee]

I think that's a pretty neat setup. That's actually something I was planning on doing except instead of safc on the top of the dash i would do gauges. Maybe some people like the look of stealthy/stockish interior. I think it's wicked! :bigok:

Jon

[swiftdrift]

wow, how pissed is he gonna be when his dash starts to crack:keke:

Cool shit though.

[ixfxi]

LOL .. i was gona say it but didnt want to offend you

that is the truth.. AGE.. if we were rockin the same car with them same crazy ass gauges and got pulled over.. im moore likely to be given a hard time..

i had my s13 since i was 18, many years of getting pulled over with that heap of shit.

regardless, if you're young.. you're gonna get pulled because you do stupid shit when you're younger. as you get older, you tend to get into these situations less often (usually due to other circumstances) and, know how to deal with them better (legally).

cheers

[heychris]

I think my foot weighed more when I was 18...
like the gauges, not the afc setup..

[artdrifter]

I want to make the vents swivel not just flip down

[Chaws15]

I want to make the vents swivel not just flip down

What do you mean by that? In actuality, that is swiveling on a pivot point already.
