Just wondered if anyone can help with Japanese to English translation on the instructions for my Sard gauges. Have just got the boost in at the moment but dont know how to set them.
Haven't sorted out place to mount them just yet. Mounting on A pillar is not an option as it blocks too much of my view and the centre speaker mounts don't appeal. Any other thoughts?

KawaiiNation Forums can help you if no one here can. The about Japan subforum offers free translation.

Well I still haven't figured out how to use them just yet, and I haven't mounted them either. At the moment they are just sitting in the glove compartment until I figure out what I'm going to do. Just took a couple of pics (with phone camera) this morning before heading off to work. Will get some better pics soon.

Sorry the pics are soo bad. Will get better ones over the next couple of days. Still got Exhaust Temp and Fuel Pressure to hook up.

Well I just mounted them so here are a few really bad pics. I need a real camera.
Put the boost and water temp on A pillar and the Oil Press, Fuel Press and Exhaust Temp in the glove compartment.

A nice and blurry night shot. But you get the idea.

Close up.

You can mount a couple in the in the center dash where the AC controls and what not are. Corksport also has a setup that follows the natural hump of you're gauge cluster and mounts two 52mm or 60mm gauges on each side where the slope stops. You can get fiberglass for roughly $250USD or CF for roughly $450USD.

I had the gauges just knocking around in my glove compartment for ages so I just went for the A pillar. Doesn't block my vision as much as I thought it might. I will look at the tripod set up though.

I have the full a-pillar gauge holder so it looks factory, not tacked onto the original pillar like the half ones. I have never had a problem with blind spots or vision blocking.

Hey does anyone know where in the stock fuel set up I can place the sensor for the fuel pressure gauge? I don't know where I'm supposed to put it.
Edit: Can someone answer my question before the weekend please. I'd like to put in on Saturday.
