Hi All!

I`m really loving the S15 and all... but I have a small question.
There is offcourse the nice standard boost gauge installed in the car... but it doenst go further then 1 bar!

I can swap it for a aftermarket boost gauge.. but the orginal one looks so nice with the odometer!
Does Nismo or other company make a boostgauge for the S15 that goes further then 1 bar and looks the same as the orginal one?

Greetz,
Hank

Yeah I know... but I mean something else (Probably my crappy English doenst explain my point well)

I mean does Nismo or another company make a boostgauge that looks the same as the orginal one that goes beyond 1 bar but looks the same so it matches with the odometer.

You can find gauges which match the silver of the dash dials, however, they won't match at night. I chose to go for the amber Defi BFs. One in the pillar pod, another in a vent. 60mm will fit in both, but the inside of the pod front cover needs shaving back about 1mm with a Dremmel.

Also, you've got to remember that the standard boost gauge is electronic and nearly all aftermarket boost gauges are mechanical.

you can replace the stock boost gauge to any 60mm aftermarket gauge and all you need is to grind from 52mm to 59mm
59mm will hold the 60mm gauge tight!


or you can place the gauge behind the cap like nicely's

138 euro from nengun :thumbs:
Need to add shipping and stuff though.

Edit: Things that differ the Greddy silver gauge from the stock one is that the Greddys lighting is a tiny bit more red, and the center thingie is silver. The stock center thingie is black.

Lol. Mine isn't as flash, but does exactly the same but more cheaply :p

Not sure all cars with the height adjuster actually had HIDs. Was definitely an option though. If you've got HIDs you should know it. If you haven't, you should also know. You'll see bugger-all at night...
