[blacks15]

Hi All

looking to replace the standard jap spec boost gauge with something a bit nicer. I am looking to get one in PSI. what have you guys got? If you could post up some pics that would be great!

thanks!

ebay?

sorry, i wasnt quite clear ... i dont want to buy from here, i am just wondering what brand and style everyone has here, i cant decide what i want! basically wondering what you guys reccomend!

most people buy Defi. There a good company, but expensive. IMO im not a fan.. i know its brand whoring and i should 'however' the black face gauges just look "boring" to me. When there lit there isnt much to them tbh..

I opted for Blitz BLM Gauges in my car. I bought my blitz boost gauge in Super Autobacs in Tokyo the other year.

i've had a stack mechanical and it was very good, however i'm now using a motor meter stepmaster warning gauge and its awesome for the money. defi-style looks, with white or amber illumination, and zeros out when switched on for accurate readings. i agree with mint, mostly its brand whoring and i dont think that the defis are worth that extortionate amount.....

If I was looking for gauges, I would look at:

Defi (most expensive but the quality is high)
HKS (if you can find them in stock)
Blitz (nice mirror finish series it totally different and looks great)

i would check fir the HKS , the one's with black overlay and red numbers in LED or something. These suit very good to me.

They look identical to mine , where did you get them from ?

 

[Darren_S15]

Ive got the same as Dean, about 1/2 the price of Blitz, HKS and STRi ones and still look awesome

The motor meter logo is really bright in the pic but its much less obvious in real life which I prefer.

Jez, you can get them at http://www.rspec.co.uk/ :thumbs:

Plus I made it into the useful threads on how you need to wire them in (post #2) http://forum.s15oc.com/showthread.php?t=5339

yep r-spec it was and havent had any problems as yet, good thing is they are a uk based company so if there were a problem i'm sure they could sort it quickly:nod:

i used to have a digital one in my s14 and sold it with the car, i really want another one for my 15 but the place i got it from dosnt sell them anymore so i have no idea where to get one from,:down:was a really nice

Hi could someone post a link to the rite guage I need to order? There quite a few and want the rite one so it fits good and the one u have used from rspec seems perfect so help if ya can

If you want the one that DeanS15 has quoted on page 1 then see below

This is the 52mm one that will fit in the pillar http://www.rspec.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=346&zenid=108f808b67539290440f1fdde5151f07

And if you want it to fit in the air vents you want the 60mm gauge http://www.rspec.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_84&products_id=356&zenid=108f808b67539290440f1fdde5151f07

Thank you for your help I'm confused i got it in my head the piller was a 60mm?? So it's definatly a 52mm is it? 100%? I would go check on the car but I havnt it with me:thumbs: , it looks really big the standard one:annoyed:

 

[Darren_S15]

Both are 100% 60mm

 

[S15AK]

Oh right sorry to confuse you, I thought the pillar pod was best fitted to a 52mm gauge. I'd take darren's word not mine

 

[DeanS15]

52mm will fit straight into the pod on the a pillar, 60mm needs a little bit trimmed round the hole (very easy) or inside the hole dependant on whether you want the gauge flush or proud.
