i want to know to, i wouldnt mind getting one, im more interested in how the mounts lines up, and how the adapter kit works that they send you

**Torquative** · 21-01-2009, 07:35 PM

I went lookin for this kit late last year but they werent there.

I wouldnt mind sussing it out either, except i dont like the gauges, they look a bit cheap, and I wouldnt mind something decent like oil pressure and oil temp or auto trans temp or something, if I didnt have battery power in a VZ I would know

THIS KIT "WILL NOT" FIT THE DASH TOP POP-UP STORAGE COMPARTMENT
MODELS.

Awwww....

Do the Holden kits require you to attach an oil pressure sender too, or do they get that info from the PCM?

mate i ve been looking out for the right kit for a few months...but not got any firm stats or info...yeah its a hard earned $400 to spend (seeing that i still have to payoff my car)....if you do go ahead let everyone know of the outcome as there would be a few others who would be interested in the same....

yeah man i will get it in the next 2 days i rekon and will go from there and will keep u all posted

**danja** · 22-01-2009, 04:19 PM

Just one thing I've noticed, the genuine kits from Holden are about $600-700 from what I've heard?

This one is $300
+$55 if you have satin black interior
+$200 if you want the proper coloured gauges
+$150-$235 for the oil pressure sender

So thats between $450 all the way to $790 depending on what car it's for and if you want the proper gauges etc.

Sound's like a bit of a rip to me? The base $300 kit is just the plastic housing, and two gauges with the wrong faces! Doesn't even contain the loom or the pressure sender.

**davway** · 22-01-2009, 04:43 PM

did anyone think to ask the supplier if it will work?
