Bottle pressure guage

What do I need to do to have the bottle pressure guage located in the driver area? Is the remote electrical guage set-up from NX the only option, or can a regular pressure guage be plumbed into the driver area??
Thanks!

i have an Autometer 2-5/8" guage in my center vent. it's a mechanical guage and comes with a restrictor fitting that has to be used.

No leaks,and it's fine.

How did you hook it up? Does the guage come w/ instructions for the remote mount?
Thanks!

All you need is a "tee" in the main nitrous line, put the restriction fitting that Dirk mentions on the side outlet of the tee, and run a -3AN braided S/S line into the passenger compartment, to the gauge. Not sure where you can mount it on you Z.... the Formula/TA's have a ready made location....

Center A/C vent mounting

AutoMeter also make an electronic nitrous pressure gauge, that has a sender you mount somewhere on the main line, and simply run the wires into the passenger compartment.

The gauge uses a -4an fitting

Thanks for all the advice. This will save me from buying the electric NX unit and still be able to monitor pressure in the driver's area.
Thanks!
