    HUD for my GQ?

    I must say although these gauges are awesome and intimidating, I would love to have more modernish HUD stuff to monitor 4 temperatures and two pressures as they are distracting as well.

    Is this possible?

    You can get left and right hand pillar pods from 4x4 Concepts that may suit your needs

    I've always wanted to do a custom display with the following, and may do so one day when I work out what will work with the tb48 (apparently NOT OBDII).

    Depending on how hard it is to get info out of the nissan diag port it wouldn't be _that_ difficult to code up a solution.

    being a GQ it might be easier to fabricate a central rally style LED dash with a recall button on some functions if doubling
    plenty of toggle switches

    A another option is o use a ardunio board, write your own software to monitor your snesors

    I have a 2 line lcd display sitting just in front / at the base of the taco that displays battery voltage, cabin temp, LPG gas level and estimated LPG range

    Sounds very interesting!

    However the Turbo gauge has a mechanical input rather than electrical?
