S14 Gauge Pods

[[email protected]]

Well I know I was supposed to have these pics up sooner but my car is taking longer than expected in the paint shop. Anywho on to the pics, no official final price yet but if there's enough interest it will have to be minimum of 20 guys. I will have price by that time though. I wanted it for my personal S14 but figured maybe I would see if others may want this piece as well.

Let me know what you guys think. It will only fit 52mm gauges as that is the most popular size. Mine will be painted satin black for now but if there's enough interest i'm going to see about getting done in abs plastic to match factory interior.

The buttons can be in factory location if need be(security, hazard ect ect) mine are like that because my profec b is mounted in between the buttons.

Robert

[doyle4281]

Depending on the price, I might be interested in one of those...Keep me posted.

[[email protected]]

Would you be interested in a ready to paint version such as this or ABS plastic? RTP would be way cheaper than ABS plastic version due to having to make molds ect ect.

Regards,
Robert

[Slidin240Wayz]

60mm...shucks.

Nice setup.

[[email protected]]

I'm only doing 52 for the time being as that is what I'm using and he already has everything setup for the 52. If the 52mm version does well I will def look into a 60mm version.

Robert

[njd07]

depending on price and if you can get it to match the stock interior, I may want one.

[[email protected]]

I will hopefully find out soon. I just know I'm paying $295 for it painted with gauges installed. Rough guess would be $250 painted any color you want and $20 cheaper without paint. For ABS I will have to look into it. I'm not doing a run of 100 or anything large like that to get a huge price decrease :(

Robert

[Petoria]

Love it! Like to plastic idea too. Need to see a price to make a final decision though.

[njd07]

damn 3 bills, i think I will do a din setup.

1 off peice, gotta pay to play...I'm crazy I know :loco: The entire face piece is made from scratch. I just didn't want to have one of those dinky universal gauge pods on my pillar.

[GabeS14]

depending on pirce..count me in

[ImpatientS14]

If the price is reasonable I would be in also.

[[email protected]]

I'm speaking with him right now to get accurate pricing on:
20 at a time
50 at a time
100 at a time

For the time being I think we will only do them in FRP to keep cost down.

hey man. i am somewhat intrested. i sent ya a p.m.

[vvtisupra]

don't really want to steal any of the limelight but here is a panel my coworker and I made for 60mm. I coulda put it below the AC vents but i figured tehre isn't any point since i don't have AC

That's totally fine, nothin wrong with having more options. I really had no intention about bringing my piece on the market but I have received a lot of compliments and figured why not post it up. I have a/c with my sr so covering up the vents was not an option. Texas summers are ruthless!!

Robert

[quattrokai]

I would take one in a heartbeat if it were for 60mm

[grnappletree14]

for the right price ill buy one

$300 for what? A new piece from the dealer is about $90. Materials you're looking at another $20. Your labor rates must be insane.

its actually 140

[hellaflush]

and to sell these you will be required to become a trader also of this forum - especially considering there is a large difference between material and sale price

if only it was to suit RHD and 60mm... hmm may have to make my own

any tips on how you did it?

[SlideWell]

wow, this is very nice! i would totally buy one if my car was LHD. +rep for you!

[GSXRJJordan]

I love it! Up high enough to still be visible, but not actually on top of the dash (like my 60mm gauges are now). I'd be interested, if it was less than $100.

[wayneside]

looks good robert!

[djcobra]

If the price is right, count me in...

Where do you mount the HVAC
Controls?

[grudge]

yeah, if the price is right. im down.

[njd07]

hmm...i'd maybe try doing this myself . any tips on what materials to use? im guessing cut a 52mm hole with a holesaw bit...then use something with diamter of 52mm(what should I use???) and use fiberglass to fill in cracks/etc and make smooth.

[TougeLabs]

60mm i am down as is everyone else it seems toss a price up!!!

[CKAMC]

idk, seems like the angle on two of them may be too much, because it seems to cut off the numbers and the end of the needle.

yeah you know where its kinda pointing to but idk, seems like all three with the full face should be easily visible.

depends tho, ones your in the driver seat looking at them then the final verdict can be made... but 52's arent bad compared to the stock oem jdm ones with little of the face used compared to these aftermarket ones.

[INeedNewTires]

Where do you mount the HVAC
Controls?

YEA! i'm in texas, have an S14, and was going to do a similar setup but down on the second din, however they wouldnt fit right without a ton of modifications so i put em flush mounted on the lower din....

So WHERE DID YOU MOUNT YOUR A/C CONTROLLS!!!

[alkemyst]

$300 for what? A new piece from the dealer is about $90. Materials you're looking at another $20. Your labor rates must be insane.

This is why you should just roll your own...assuming it was $110 his cost, who pays for the bad prototypes, who pays for the 'customer service' part if something is wrong, is he not allowed to make a little for his time?

I just installed some CF mirrors with a buddy on his 350Z today...they cost him about half what Mine's $1100 mirrors do. I am willing to bet the cost of those parts weren't even 1/10th of that.

*edit posted to soon*...now all that said, I am willing to bet you couldn't duplicate them for much less than $300 on the first go around if you didn't see them here first, not even counting your time it's not a terrible price.

[LA_phantom_240]

That's some pretty gnarly work. I'm currently working on some s14 a-pillar pods. Combination tweeter/gauge pods lol.

[adictd2b00st]

amusing how everyone wants something until they realise that it actually costs money lol

looks great btw, nice work!

[projectRDM]

That's got nothing to do with my comment. I could make the same piece for less money, so I if wanted my gauges there I would do so. Truth is, I don't like the idea and have my gauges elsewhere already, so it's not an issue, I'm just saying the cost seems way high for so little fab work. But don't assume I mentioned the price because I 'can't afford it'. That has nothing to do with it.

[alkemyst]

What would you say a 'fair price' would be then? Also not everyone is capable of fabrication like this.

[adictd2b00st]

:werd: those are the people i'm talking about.......nowhere in my post did i single you out projectRDM

Less that $100?? Seriously...There is no way something like this is going to be less than $100.

Everyone who keeps saying $300 is way too much. That includes my body shop doing the following:
1. making 4 dif versions until I was happy with this one.
2. painting the piece
3. installing EGT, Boost, and Oil Press gauges.

If you think that's too much then that's is A OK with me. $300 is rough final price quote from the body shop and he told me he was shooting high. The only reason this is in existence now is because I wanted it and didn't care about cost. Once I get my final bill I will photocopy it and post it so everyone who thinks I'm marking it up can see that quality work costs money.

In regards to my HVAC controls, here is what you need to do to mount then in the din area below the cdp:
1. shave off the two mounting tabs on the end
2. trim your cdp surround just enough to get the hvac controls in, i used a file and a lot of patience
3. enjoy your HVAC controls new mounting location

they do fit right and it didn't take a ton of fabrication to do it
only tough part was keeping them low enough so the cd player faceplate would still open

[vvtisupra]

so you have to keep your eyes off the roads to check your gauges ? Even with warning lights if your gauges are that low. good luck noticing them when you're out on the track.

[sac]

see this is what i thought..
then i decided to mount a series of warning lights against the pillar.
that way if somethin gets f'd up i get a bright ass light in the corner of my eye..

[bigOdom1]

I think i would notice the boost without the guage, the wideband is more for tuning purposes and nice to be able to keep an eye on, and the last is an exhaust gas temp. on my pillar i have oil pressure and water temp. where i still see the road. also the setup i have cost no where near the price of that and they are not sticking out of my dash an inch and a half

[Thirteen]

Seriously... why the hell is the 240 community composed solely of cheap bastards? this product is rad, fits well, costs a reasonable amount, and its EXACTLY WHAT YOU TARDS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR ready made off the shelf.

stuff costs money. if you want a 50 gallon drum of gauge pods for 5 dollars go to costco and pick it up with your economy sized vat of mayonnaise.

[HunsakerS14]

Are you saying that your price includes full installation of 3 gauges? Because that's what you just said. If that's the case, then the trim piece should definitely be <$150.

I know it's a special order type of thing, but you have to compare the price of an A-pillar pod vs what you're making. They have to fabricate those as well. People would only be paying for a rare item with a decent location.

Also, the HVAC will NOT fit down in the cd player slots. It's at least a half inch larger. You can almost guarantee snapping your trim, not to mention the fact that you wouldhave to customize the metal brackets that hold it in, if possible (unless my cd player is small than every other aftermarket cd player out there...).

[bigOdom1]

all i am saying is that for the price you could find someone local to make it how you want it your gauge sizes, angled or flush whatever, or you could just put them where i did for the cost of that plastic at your local car audio store

He's not charging me $150 to install the gauges LOL. Oil Pressure and boost were already in the car he just has to reroute wiring. The only gauge he is actually having to install is the EGT. An A-pillar piece is alot less difficult to fabricate than this is. I can also guarantee you that the HVAC controls will fit under the CDP as I have already done it. I have had it done way before I had the pods made.

Although it fits below the radio, proof in the above pic is that unless you actually work on it, it looks like shit. I'd rather have it where it belongs.

[[email protected]]

I just mocked it up, the person who made the pods is going to rework that piece as well to flow with the curve of the a/c controls. Either that or I seen a pic a while back where a guy mounted it in his center console. Still up in the air though.

Robert

Edit:
This is the pic that gave me the idea.

im in a predicament...

i have a profec b spec ii, defi link controller and 2 (will be 5 after a month) defi bf gauges... no idea wtf to put them

im digging the above pic with the gauge/profec b install however i have a double din jvc tv... i cant relocate my a/c control anywhere (not that i have a/c but i use it for the heater)... is the loom long enough to mount it in the glovebox?

[screwd08]

I can say that i've seen the a/c control in the center console and the glove box. As for as it being long enough, im not 100% positive anymore. It's been awhile since i have looked into it.

[screwd08]

The picture posted above isnt a horrible idea, im just not fond of cutting my trim. Your piece being fabbed at the moment is a good thing although its steep for my pockets. Good work on getting it though, i wont take that from ya.

[[email protected]]

The loom is nowhere near long enough to reach the center console. It will need to be extended.

If you only want the heat, just replace one of your vents with gauges, or both and just get heat from the other 6 vents in your car

[hellaflush]

i may aswell replace both of my centre ones then... and put gauges in there... ugh (knocks head against wall) i so dont know what to do...

i guess for now ill chuck them ontop of my dashpad and just run cable through the aircon vent - i dont wanna go drilling holes to find that in a months time i relocate them to the middle

[hellaflush]

http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg312/hellaflush0711/q3.jpg

stuff it... im gonna do this i think

lose my middle vents and relocate a/c to glovebox

[bigOdom1]

you have three options if you have five or more gauges.
1.like mine
2. new cluster i have seen a few people put a new setup and still keep stuff they wanted like gas level,warning lights, etc
3. move something(radio/ac) to the console or the glove box

any other way shown in this thread makes it look out of place in my opinion

I think when it comes to vital guages, it's best to keep them in a place where they can be viewed easily. With the guages down low, or even in the glovebox, it takes too long for your eyes to adjust and focus to read the guages, and then to readjust when you look back up at the road. I like the guages up top (where the factory hvac controls are) because it's just a quick glance and you're good to go.

[hellaflush]

hey808 i think thats what hes saying - and by moving something to the glovebox i believe he meant stereo/a/c

[[email protected]]

Well guys now I'm talking to Veilside about making a mold from my original piece so it could be mass produced. He is confident he can beat my body shop's price to make these and since there is a mold CF would be possible. Once I get final word from them I will post it up. I have to wait to get my car back so I can take pics from every angle so they can quote it.

Regards,
Robert

[hellaflush]

are they will to do RHD setup too? and 60mm?

[[email protected]]

the 60mm would require them to redesign the pod section as it is only large enough for 52mm. I will speak with them about it and see if it's possible to get it enlarged for 60mm. As for RHD setup I can check and see if it's possible to just make a mirror duplicate for RHD cars. Just so everyone knows if Veilside does make this for us it will take 2 months after they ship it to Japan before I would have stock of these. AKA my interior will look busted for 2 months :(. I have 1 more company I'm going to check with that is state side and makes our A pillar pods for the Supra.<not the greatest quality though.

Robert

Yea, i dont think you got what i was saying, I was saying that i was trying a similar setup with the gauges angled towards the driver, but on the lower din, however it was too wide and required a bunch of cutting/fab work, for something as simple as gauges i said fuck it and mounted like this:

http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee309/ineednewtires/tallgauges.jpg

http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee309/ineednewtires/writeupphotos18681.jpg

But see from drivers perspective their not perfect.... However i have boost and A/F on the A pillar so these gauges (oil temp, pressure, EGT) arent quite as important to require a "quick glance" location.

http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee309/ineednewtires/writeupphotos18682.jpg

[bigOdom1]

you are right they dont have room to angle three of them two maybe but its not terrible if they are needed gauges but not constant monitor gauges. also i like them lower cause they are not in my face at night. i think your setup is very nice and clean man

[hellaflush]

if its being shipped to veilside japan - i would assume they would have no issue making RHD one to fit their cars there...

and most likely 60mm aswell as alot of newer guages are 60mm

[[email protected]]

It is going to Japan but they would still need a RHD car to make another gauge pod for it. Quote direct from Veilside:

Veilside (6:53:46 PM): what you have is a plug. you'd need to make a new plug
RobertatMVP (6:53:51 PM): http://www.zilvia.net/f/aolbart:/1024/id/2B000001B7/3A2D28
RobertatMVP (6:53:54 PM): sucks
Veilside (6:53:55 PM): for the 60mm and right hand drive
Veilside (6:54:08 PM): in all you would end up with 4 plugs if you want to cover all combinations

With my 1 "plug" costing me roughly $275-$280 we would have to make 3 more pieces to get 52mm LHD and RHD, same goes for 60mm. You couldn't run 3 60mm Gauges angled like mine as they are way too large.

Regards,
Robert

[hellaflush]

plug being mould/OP (original product)

in this thread people have posted pics of just using tripple din brackets using 60mm gauges in a din slot... surely 60mm is acheiveable

[fromxtor]

Considering a kognition piece cost $35-$80 in real carbon composite, I don't see the appeal here.

did the A/C loom reach the armrest? or extension required?

[hey808]

did the A/C loom reach the armrest? or extension required?

Extension required for sure. It barely reaches to go under the radio.

[Maiku240sxS14]

did the A/C loom reach the armrest? or extension required?

Extension required. Very time consuming, but well worth it. I didn't want to cut up my radio trim to put it underneath the radio, and of course, I needed it to be accessible due to Cali summers.

[hellaflush]

im hoping mine will reach the glovebox without extension... i dont need to access it often as im about to pull my aircon out so ill only need it for heater which will be constantly running soon as winter comes in a month or 2

Although they have posted triple in the lower din, they also stated an angle was not achievable. That's why everyone who has 60mm in the din has them mounted straight. With the material needed inbetween the gauges they would be way too wide to mount at an angle.

60mm is impossible to fit in a "Din" slot, without hacking up the trim piece, or making a new one all together, you could not put 60mm and retain a radio in the 2 dins allotted. My pictures are of 3x 52mm gauges, in the lower din. They fit so close, they actually had to hang down a few mm's. There is no way you could get a 60mm to fit without taking out the ash tray and cutting up that piece all together... take another look at my posted pics

**it wont even fit 3x 52mm angled! so 60mm would never happen**

Veilside (6:21:44 PM): like pressing a coin into playdoh... you can't make one impression from two coins
RobertatMVP (6:22:51 PM): cuz with mine the 2 center buttons will not go on
RobertatMVP (6:23:06 PM): my profec b is in there
Veilside (6:23:23 PM): we can't
Veilside (6:23:26 PM): make it then
Veilside (6:23:32 PM): we can only do the same part you have

Thoughts seeing as since mine has been modified the piece would only look like mine...two buttons on either end and boost controller, turbo timer or whatever inbetween.

Interesting... well, I'm sure someone else will make one ~

I was looking at my center console today... you guys either sit mad close to the steering wheel or have your gauges angled way to much.
From my seat its maybe a 10-15 degree angle tops

I'm 5 ft 7 so I may look like an old lady in the driver seat :2f2f:

If I didn't want my center vents that would be awesome.

That was a one off I made using the center console piece all the gauges are angled to the drive just not as drastically.
and the aem is set in to the piece since the ring is so large and we wanted it to sit closer to how all th other gauges sat.

we still make them and other parts too

Then there's this S14 with 6 gauges mounted in custom carbon pods...

We sell something similar to that for the Supra and was thinking about how it would look on the S14. Not really feelin how high they are but a cool setup non the less. Here's the CF one we sell for the Supra:

To keep selling price down I think I'm going to do this on my own without MVP. I have already spoken to the body shop who made mine and he stated he could make them for me 1 at a time if need be so no min buy in. Selling price would be $215 shipped painted any color you want or $195 shipped ready to paint. You would need to ship me your factory piece and turn around time would be 1.5-2.weeks as each one would be hand made to order. Also for you 60mm guys he said he could hook you up as well, same price you will just need to send 1 gauge so they can get the proper sizing(only applies to 1st order for 60mm).

Thoughts?

I will have to get close ups of the A/C control unit next week. MVP went to the Supra nationals last week and I blew a front main seal and spun a bearing so it is at a friends house near the track.

Yes it has been a pretty green statue outside my house for oh......a month now.

You guys would really have to see the piece in person because the quality, and the fitment is absolutely outstanding.
