Might just go with a pillar option and get another guage tho--any suggestions?
Would be nice to have a good water temperature gauge... maybe an oil pressure gauge... maybe an air/fuel gauge...

Thx for the reply bro.

The AFK will detect knock and also display the A/F from both banks--so no need for an extra A/F guage. Was gonna get boost and possibly another--I'm thinking oil pressure would be slightly more desirable than water temp for a second guage?

^^^my feeling is, you at least need A/F, Oil Pressure, Ext -if running turbo(s)

That's the bare min

That two-gauge A-Pillar pod really looks clean.

Do you have any more pictures of the two-gauge A-Pillar pod?

anyone on here using the ATI steering column gauge pod? If you're using it can you post a pic. I'm trying to see how much of the factory gauges it blocks. here is a link to the gauge pod i'm talking about https://g35driver.com/forums/attachm...5&d=1185852270(this one is the 350Z one. I've been told the G35 one is very similar)

get a Fuel Pressure Gauge. I have Oil pressure, boost, wideband (both bank 1 & 2) and I'm thinking of adding a Fuel Pressure. My A/F has been Leaning out lately and I don't know why, a fuel pressure would've been nice just to make sure my Fuel Pump is good.


This is how I rank them..
1. Wideband
2. Boost
3. Oil Pressure
4. Fuel Pressure
5. EGT
6. Water Temp

I have PLX device guages. they are the same size as the innovative. maybe I'm just order 2 individual cup mounts and mount them to the steering column. maybe that would look better than the ATI pod

I think I'm only going to start with a HKS AFK with an extra sensor to read A/F from both banks and detect knock. Also, if budget allows, a vpro upgrade, which will allow me to utilize the Camp2 setup when I have the funds later on down the line and get boost sensor, oil pressure sensor, fuel pressure sensor etc.

I'm thinking about the best location to put the AFK monitor, and so far I like this the best:
