G guage mod from 350Z?

When shopping for the G i looked at the 350Z too and one of the few things I liked more about the Z was the 3 guages above the center console. Is there anyway to get those same guages on a G? The G35 is much more powerfull and a **** load faster than my last car and I am still getting used to it, I find myself doing 85 without noticing,.. the guage that digitaly displays mph would be a bit usefull, not to mention oil and volt. I have been searching around and cant seem to find anything or anyone that has done this, I have seen 2-3 great guage mods for FI but nothing like this.

im sure its possible to fabricate one but youd have to be willing to spend the money. Anything is possible if you have the wallet to back it up. As you've said, i've too see a few pods like that but for boost gauges, im sure it wouldnt be that hard to swap the gauges out. Good luck though

Someone here with a supercharged G did it, but it looks kinda weird IMHO.

I dont have navigation in my G so im sure i the guages could be fabricated into that compartment (I have seen it from others) the next question and I dont know anything about this is getting the electronic guage to work. On the Z it will display mph, rpm, mpg, and maybe something else, but at least the digital mph might be usefull. I want all 3 guages but my primary intrest is in the one digital guage, anyone know anything about what it would take to hook that type of guage up?

Unfotunatly i am very strapped for cash right now, I am going to japan for 3 weeks in may and that has eaten every dollar i have, but yeah I think this could easily work for the volt and I think its and oil temp guage maybe pressure,. gauge no problem the only one im unsure of is the digital gauge that has several functions,.. also where to put the butto that changes the functions?

Well, I have an '03 and wanted Oil Pressure and Volts. One of the forum members fabricated this neat looking dash piece, and I ended up buying it from him. It was fabricated to hold Megan gauges. I, like you, was searching for a solution, and luckily I found it.
