Hi im a new owner of a 95 240sx. It drives like a dream. I have plans to turbo it in the near future. I was looking to change out the 3 pods as they look very old. Does any one know the size of gauge that is already in there? What size gauge would fit without doing a modification.

Welcome to the forums! Could we have a picture of your gauges? Also, you can measure the gauge with a measuring tape.

I'll walk you through it. If you have an iPad/iPhone/Android device you can just download tapatalk and it is really easy. On computer:
To link directly to an image hosted elsewhere, you'll first need to get the direct URL to the image you want to embed within your post. Direct URL's will end with the file format of the image, such as .jpg, .png, .gif, and etc. Often times you can locate the direct URL of an image from the share options when viewing the image on the hosting service. An example of a direct image URL would be something like: http://i.imgur.com/tHtwFXm.gif
Once you have the direct URL of an image you would like to insert into a post, click the Reply button to an existing thread on the forum, or create a new thread to bring up the posting page. On the posting page click on the image button found in the toolbar directly above the message area. Once clicked a pop-up window will display asking you for the Image URL, along with the Alt Text. Paste in the direct URL for the image you want to share within your post into the box provided for the Image URL option. The text you enter in the Alt Text field is what will display in your post any time the image itself is unable to load, either because the visitor has images disabled in their web browser or if your image hosting provider is having technical issues and is unable to load the image.
Once you have the Image URL and Alt Text filled out, click on the Insert Image button found at the bottom of the pop-up window and you should see a reference to your image appear in the message area of your post. Once your post is made, the image will display directly in your message.

They look fine to me. The gauge in the far right looks to be a boost gauge, but I am not sure.

Those are oem silvia k's gauges, are they hooked up? If you don't want them, just put them up for sale.
Also, there's a thread on them.

Yes im looking to upgrade it with new aftermarket gauges. No they are not hooked up. I like the housing and suttle look. Does anyone know the size mm of gauge off bat that would fit in there?

Ah, not really and your best bet is to sell them and make a panel to fit some aftermarket gauges in that spot if you choose to. I'm pretty sure that those are probably smaller than any gauges off the shelf.

Well i guess the only i idea i have is to try to enlarge the circluar diameter at a machine shop to fit a 52mm at least.
