S13 Center Vent Angled Triple 52mm Gauge Plates - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Broadfield · 05-26-2011, 06:16 PM

S13 Center Vent Angled Triple 52mm Gauge Plates: $75 shipped
Please inquire if you would like non-angled 52mm or 60mm

NOTE: Please allow up to a week for the fabrication. These are made to order!

Main plate is CNC'd from 1/8" aluminum
Inside radius of the gauge openings are beveled so the gauge will drop in when angled
ABS angled rings are prepped to remove all casting nubs
ABS angled rings are trued on the bottom side as they do not come 100% flat
Main plate and rings are texture coated for OEM look
Painted with high quality SEM Satin Black
Includes aluminum mounting brackets that can be modified to fit your particular gauge(see pics below)
The mounts can also be modified to make a rock solid mounting system for the dash(see pics below)

Close up of texture coat and SEM paint:

Rings are 100% flat on the bottom:

Example of modified bracket to fit a specific gauge:

Example of how you could drill and tap the modified brackets and insert threaded rod into it. Then simply use some aluminum or other material to make a "washer" to span the back of the vent opening. Finally some simple wing nuts and you can easily attach it all from the back. This will also help really suck the plate into the opening of the dash.

UPDATE:

As I have mentioned in this thread, I can have any combination of gauge placements fabricated. For example: Chase from Chase Bays wanted a plate with one 52mm at the end and that was it. No problem! I can also do triple 60mm non-angled, double 52mm with vent angled or non-angled, any # of 52mm or 60mm from 1-3 or any combination of. Note: these are all special order so allow up to 4 weeks for delivery. Price is the same($75 shipped) for all angled plates and $40 shipped for non-angled. NOTE: 60mm cannot be angled in the standard fashion. All pieces are finished just like everything else: textured and painted with high quality satin black to best match the OEM finish of your S13.

Some Examples:

Triple 60mm:

Dual 52mm with vent:

Dual 52mm angled with vent:

do you make a dual gauge holder

I do not because there is no demand for them. However, I can have one CNC'd if you would like. It would probably be a month or more though before I put in another order to the metal shop.

I do have a dual 52mm holder, but it has the slots in between for the vent to still function somewhat as a vent. You could still do the angled rings on it if you wanted. Otherwise like I said above, if you want the dual holder without the vent openings, then I would have to special order it the next time I place an order.

Thanks,

Toby

pandaroo · 05-26-2011, 07:11 PM

this is rad. just gotta find me another guage to stick in there lol.

negrosx13 · 05-26-2011, 07:52 PM

How much if I only wanted the rings and brackets to angle the gauges.. I already have vent pod holder very similar.

Ramonesfreak2010 · 05-26-2011, 08:52 PM

I just need the brackets. I bought the gauge plate a few months back.

Sorry, I do not sell them separately. However, you can get some from Summit.

I cannot sell the brackets separately as they come with the angled rings.

cookie_monster · 05-27-2011, 02:05 AM

Yep! The main plate would simply be rotated 180 degrees compared to mounting it in a LHD.

feadz · 05-28-2011, 09:31 PM

How much for a non-angled triple 60mm? I need to fit some Defi BF's.

It would be $40 shipped and would have the same textured finish.

Thanks,

Are there 60mm angle spacers available?

There is not.... it's not really possible physically without going to full molded fabrication. Even then it would be too tight for my liking.

Jonathong · 05-30-2011, 01:47 AM

damn if only there was something like this for the s14! I really need a setup like this somewhere in the car

RickyS13. · 05-30-2011, 02:28 AM

im really gonna be getting one of these when my gauges come in!!

tabasco122 · 05-30-2011, 03:01 AM

do you mount\glue the rings on the plate, or do they have to be assembled? because i attempted to do this with the autometer rings after seeing your car in the magazine a few months ago, but i failed at getting them all straight, they were all different angles lol.
