I know that Carbon Signal has started to produce an integrated monitoring system but need more info on it. I need something that will tap into ours without the navigation (as I don't have nav)
Yeah, the Camp 2 systems are very hard to get anymore. I've seen the Carbon Signal Zada Tech gauge system and it looks very interesting. Do the non Navigation cars have an aux. input? Here's a link to a video of the Carbon Signal system if anyone is interested.

I wonder if there's enough room behind the ashtray for a gauge? You could pick up an extra ashtray insert off eBay and make a cutout for a gauge there, just not sure if there's enough depth or not. I've installed a Tein Flex suspension controller there in the past and it looked pretty sweet.

Don't worry, I'll set your target time soon enough!

Yeah the carbon signal ones are cool but my non-nav doesn't have aux plugs


I'll probably start looking around at some places to hide gauges (my boost gauge is in my glove box, haha)

I expect you to Tony! I'll be playing catch up soon enough! I plan on calling JTran in a little bit.

I've thought about using the sunglass holder for a pair of digital gauges. I've seen them mounted in there before and it's a pretty nice install, especially considering its all very stealth when you close it.

Sounds like fun! Let us know how it goes. I know my car has been running VERY strong all week with this cold snap we're having and it's still in the low 70's daytime and upper 50's at night here right now... Amazing what a difference just a few degrees makes!

All for the sleeper look. There's a guy on the 370z .Com site by the name of gale force that fabricate gauge pods for the a pillar. Also getting that.

Thanks! I've seen those and they look pretty nice. I may end up doing that or going in the center console somewhere.

That's the guy on the 370 forum right? I've seen his thread before and they look really legit. Still not sure if I want the A pillar mount though, trying to maintain sleeper status as much as possible.

So still shopping around for the final engine/all around build step. It will be the 4.0L stroker, 9:1 compression pistons/rods, Jun cams, upgraded turbos, upgraded fuel system, bearings, studs, seals, gaskets, nismo oil pump, possibly DSS axles etc...

I know there are JTran and JMS here in TX but I would be willing to ship if anyone has suggestions on who has completed similar builds?
