I can't seem to find one that will fit on the S14 dash. This is the only thing I found and it's not very pretty.http://www.carbontrix.com/images/3gaugewpod.jpg
I don't care if its not carbon fiber, well I just want a place for my 60mm gauges.

not going to find a whole lot for the LHD market
here are a few that are made for RHD and with some modifying can work for LHD

Weld Steering Column
I think the one you posted can make good if you were to make a custom enclosure using what is provided as a base... I think I am going to give it a try seeing how it can provide good potential.

The first Border Racing one would be pretty sweet on an s13, plus I'd like the position of the gauges on an LHD car. The Attain ones look nice too for a somewhat stealth look. Two of those wouldn't be half bad.

Never seen those Border racing ones!! Anyone know of a supplier?
Edit - Just found these from Border which apparently come in S14 fitment.

Edit Again - Just realised RHD only; sorry chaps!

yea those first border ones are cool

i think they would still work for LHD? just the gauges would be towards the a-pillar, instead of the center? that is if the S14 ones are anything like the r33 piece pictured.

I think the problem with the dual border gauges is how it will actually fit.
the left side of a rhd car is open space aka the middle of the dash and thus if fitted for that.
of a LHD car you have less space aka a a/c vent along with a door.
I was thinking the same thing that it would be an easy fitting for a s14 but then started to think it thru more and realized the problems.
S13 owners you can check out more gauges at

and here is another one aimed at s13 owners... wonder if it will work for s14

again the main problem with most of these is they are angled for RHD.
if you want some LHD ones you can modify some subaru ones made by defi

yea there is an HKS glovebox thing really similar for S14, but i think its 2 pods instead of 3 and theres a place for a boost controller or something.
also pretty sure its angle RHD

also pretty sure its angle RHD
yeah, thats the problem with mostly all of them. someone needs to make LHD holders.

Hi,
Not for putting on top f the dash and it 52mm but 60mm is easy (relatively) to make.
I made this last weekend, all plastic, no fiberglass. I know it still needs to be finished off properly. Took 6-7 hours with all the dissolving of ABS plastic shaving shavings, getting the shape right etc. Used one of those 5$ ebay metal pods as a base. Its strong as feck as I applied more that the force anyone will ever apply to it, just to make sure. :)

Moved it to one of the Din slots.

The dual Border gauge holder fits LHD cars with a few modifications.
