Yeah...remove the stocker and just use the pod pillar.
Transfer the "snaps" from the stocker or come up with your own. The top just needs something to hold her up. The bottom is fine. Just snap off the stock TOP snap and use some puddy to reattach it to the gauge pillar.
The Nissan dealers use some kind of hardening puddy to replace the snaps IF they break off during removal. I'm not sure if it's something you can buy from the dealer, but it looks similar to some kind of hardening plumbers putty.

Where did you get the dual A pillar pod from? I've been looking for a long time for one. Is the fitment issue due to your radar position? Or this Dual pod is for another car? I see that it fits good from the top but at the bottom where it covers the tweet is this due to the fact that this pod is not tapered? Let me know if thats the problem and also where did you buy this? Thanks. You may check into Radio Shack for some strong velcro you could use to hold the pillar on. I used this stuff to attach my new tweets to the metal behind the stock A pillar and with all the vibration its still holding strong thru heat and cold and loud tunes. Don't drill holes due to the fact that the pillar is the drain for the sun-roof.

NOS #5124 is a dry kit, you'll want a fuel pressure gauge.
MINIMUM gauges I'd have:
1)EGT
2)Bottle pressure
3)Fuel pressure
Plus, since you're auto, you might consider a trans temp gauge in the future. Basically, I'd go for the triple, since there is bound to be SOMETHING you'll add or need in the future. Just my .02.

No, just looking for a proper fitment dual A-Pillar for Trans Temp and air fuel gauge only, 52mm. A triple is more than I need. A dual is impossible to find. Someone made one from an add on with bondo and it looked like hell. If someone knows where to find a full A-pillar with tweet cut out I will be forever greatful. Thanks
