This kit looks promising. Also sized to fit in the gauge pod. Programmable to display oil temp, egt, boost, coolant temp, AFR, etc. It's put out by Reveltronics. Does anyone have any experience with these?

I have this setup going in a build. It's a KILLER piece. The display is off the charts. Can't wait to get it mounted and operating.
Well I got a little distracted with another auction purchase, but I am moving forward slowly. The auction purchase was an HZJ81 and I, again, don't like the information available for the stock gauges, but even more than the 70 series here are not that many good places to put stuff in an 80. But I think I found at least part of an answer--reusing the binnacle at the top of the windshield by taking out the altimeter and 'compass' and replacing them with a display; here's a couple of photos to show what I mean:

I plan to use the stock plastic chassis to hold in the display and a local 12 to 5 VDC power supply and run only the HDMI cable down from the top to somewhere behind the dash, and do all the fiddly sensor stuff there.

Pillar pods are available for 81’s.
I've seen them SNLC but I they look a little too 'boy racer' for my taste. Personal thing I know.
I know the guages Theo, I mean the pod that they are fitted into.
