Pillar pods
Does anyone know of a pillar pod for a single gauge to suit a GU, one that is a replacement for the original pillar ‘skin’?

No mate never seen them. I take it you want an egt gauge to go with the new exhaust?
I would suggest to get a dual pod and add a boost gauge

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Yeah thinking about a boost & EGT. Also want to keep ‘clutter’ in the cab to a minimum so a combined gauge appeals. I did buy a VDO boost gauge ages ago, but really quite like the Redarc combined gauges. Cheaper to buy a single gauge too, but I I’m not keen on something stuck on top of the dash or on the steering column in front of the speedo & rev counter.

I like the way you think Cuppa.
I have also been looking for a single pillar pod since I saw the Autron (now Redarc) combined EGT & Boost gauge.
However, I have only been able to find single gauge cups that mount on the dash and some generic ones that clip on the A pillar trim, but none with the same profile as a GU A pillar.
The search continues......

I have a car that I wanted to mount gauges in, nothing available off the shelf either, so I found myself another pillar trim, some generic cups, and I made my own...
Just an idea.
Worked out cheaper too and looks factory, fits perfectly too.

That definitely requires some pics & maybe even a ‘how to’ Evo.

What I'm using .. actually thinking about a 3 pod, EGT, Boost, and direct water temp. The pillar pod doesn't seem to be as intrusive as the intercooler scoop .. USA.April.2014 173.JPG
