Look here...

http://harlan.sketchy.net/

My NOS window switch is from this guy, its in the mail. It wires up just like the shift light. Their is a link to the PDF install instructns on this page This is the guy that Jeff Ketch got his shift light from.

Ever think about an audiable shift indicator instead of the light. Late model RX7's have them and their pretty cool. I riged one on my old VW Scirocco. I actuall like it better than the light becuase youdont have to have an obtrusive light on your dash. Jeff ketch put his where the cigarette lighter goes, that would be cool and clean.

Man I should have just emailed you 1st....

well remember I was going to wait and get a techtom, well I did and it doesn't work on the 2K so now I need more of those bigazz guages. Also did your Max guage pop fit perfect on thout max or it a bit big, the one I recieved is a bit big I am guessing they sent me the wrong one, or the 2K is diff. from the 4th gen. side rails.

mine fit pretty good

I did have to push it dowm abit to get it to fit snuggly. I pushed it down tight then used some duct tape to hold it on when I drilled the holes for the plastic tabs. You can use a grinder to clean it up if you want before you install it. It does look good, except my APEXi EGT is a white face and my Autometer FP is white face. I might get another APEXi gauge so it will look beter. What gauges are you getting?

Wana sell me the techtom? I'll give ya $100 for it! LMFAO

Yeah I wish a $100 would do it, but I have already sold

it to a Z guy. What part # was the guage pod you have? I may need to check if they sent the right one, I have 2 guages now a Boost and a NOS Pressure. I will need a fuel pressure and a air/fuel meter, so some how some way I will need to fit either 4 guages or put 3 on and do away with the NOS pressure one. I have a NOS pressure guage on my bottle but I thought it would be good to have one up front. But the thing is that I hate alot of guages, to me it seems almost ricey and ppl will always mess with you. I know I do. )

Gauges

You can install a couple where you storage bin is under the radio. You would have to get some matching plastic, some auto interior places could help you. It would be a custom thing but it shouldnt be that hard. I think Loren has this on his Maxima.

I'll get you the part number for my gauge pod tonight when I get home from work.

I'd put A/F and Boost on the pillar, these are more critical. NOS and Fuel pressure in the storage bin area, less critical when actually running, you should have a NOS fuel pressure safety switch that will cut off the NOS if the pressure falls too low. HMMMMM, with the SC your fuel pressure will be high anyway, (~65psi as guess) If you put a 40hp NOS shot on top of the SC you will need ~20psi more than peak fuel preasure under boost So thats about ~85psi. I dont know what the max pressure level of the safety switch is off the top of my head, but I think its rated at ~65 maximum. So it would allways stay on due to the high fuel pressure under boost and provide no safety for the NOS. HMMM just some food for thought.
