Here's your chance to make a difference.

I just sent the following e-mail to Auto Meter:

Mike --

Auto Meter's unwillingness to produce gauge pods is not due to a lack of interest. It's due to a PERCEIVED lack of interest on your part. I can assure you that there's plenty of interest in gauge pods for 2000+ Maximas. And to prove my point, I'm going to put up a post at Maxima.org asking members interested in gauge pods for 2000+ Maximas to e-mail you.

Stay tuned.

Regards,

Bruce

Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for your interest in Auto Meter Products. Unfortunately, we do not offer a newer gauge pod for the Nissan Maxima after 99. Unfortunately, due to lack of interest, we do not produce pods for this vehicle.
Please check out the accessories section of our web site at http://www.autometer.com. We have a large array of
cups and panels that may suit your needs.

Again, thank you for your email and for thinking of Auto Meter
Products. Best of luck in your project.

Sincerely,
Mike Sueto

Question:
Why won't you develop gauge pods for 2000-2003 Nissan Maximas? There's been a demand for them since the 2000 Maxima was released. And no, gauge pods for Maximas prior to the 2000 model will not fit 2000-2003 Maximas.

Please respond. Thanks.

If you want gauge pods from Auto Meter, e-mail Mike Sueto now. His e-mail address is:

mike_sueto@autometer.com

 

Just sent email!

 

I will send an email, but why not send them the link to the gauge pod GD also?

 

I thought custommaxima.com will have them soon

 

Mike,
Regarding the absence of GaugePods for the 2002 Maxima in your current product offerings;
The lack of this product has spawned an number of other smaller upstarts to produce them. While the quality may not match what the Pre-2000 Maxima community has come to know and respect from you, it is all we've got. The newer Nissan Maxima offerings boast a more powerful engine (255HP) and there are a number of modifications available that necessitate a greater degree of accuracy on monitoring engine temps /activities.
Please consider making a "A Pillar" gauge Pod to be used with the 2000+ Nissan Maximas. The 2002 - 2003 will require a tweeter cutout but there is sufficent interest in this to warrant investigation to determine if your ROI will be justified. Thanks you for your time.

Sincerly,

I spoke to Mike at Auto Meter. He said that Auto Meter's hands are tied. He said that Auto Meter OEMs pods from Gauge Works and Gauge Works doesn't see a big enough market to warrant manufacturing pods for us.

The wait continues . . .

 

do they offer 60mm gauge pod?

 

I thought custommaxima.com will have them soon

 

 

I would set up a poll, and just e-mail him the poll numbers. It will show the number of people that voted.

 

it has been soon for almost a year. Same with my damn FSTB i'm still waiting on that I already paid for

 

Don't give up on this. This is exactly the thing we need to do with this and other vendors to show the demand for performance products for our cars. I know we'll strike out more times than not but it's definitely worth pursuing.

So what's the next product we should pursue?
