Mounting a dash pod on my 95 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have a three pod cluster for the dash, it was for a 98 honda prelude, but with a little bit of shaping, it will fit right on. Now I'm going to be mounting it right above the two center vents on the dash, now is there anything underneath their that i will have to watch out for, when i put the screws down through?? Also would you drill one larger hole for the wires or three smaller ones for all the wires? Finially I have oil pressure and volt meter, and it says to connect the guage to a 12volt power source, with tying it into the ignition, so that the gauges go off when i turn off the parking lights/headlights, what color wire am I looking for to tap into??
I'll have a pic later tonight, that shows exactly were i'm mounting it, and what the pod looks like.

id think one larger hole would be much cleaner, just zip tie the wires, or seperate them acordingly. i always wanted to do sumsort of dash cluster for gauges. cheers for the idea of stealing a lude cluster

I ran my Silvia K guages (volt, oil pressure, and boost) using the ignition wire for the cluster, its the green one I think.
