Looking at buying a HKS Type-1 TT...buy price approx $340... Is this a wise move?...or for the cash should I look at another timer?

Also looking at buying a 5"Tach (Autometer/Autogauge). Nothing too flash...the one i'm looking that's $300. Should I steer clear of the cheaper gauges and wait for something more reputable?:confused:

Advice / opinions

340 for a turbo timer, ouch.

I think you should buy a cheaper turbo timer.. 100-150$ and get a better tacho, those autogage series are very budget looking although im sure they perform the same as the more expensive ones, they just dont have a u beaut silver surround and face.

well in that case, i would be about 80/20 in favour of buying it.... as for the monster tacho, i guess its just personal preference, same as brand... all aftermarket gauges that i bought are all autometer and ivee had nothing wrong with them... damn those jap brand ones are damn expensive!!

Sweeet....I'll get the TT when I get back to Brissy:D ...Then ponder the Tach a pay or 2 after that...really all I want is a shift light ($20 compared to $300). I would go for the shift light on its own if it was readily adjustable...can this be one without too much hassle???:confused:

Monster tacho in the middle of the dash in an R23 looks sshhhweeettttt :uh-huh:

Otherwise brands like Pivot and Autometer make individual shift light units, I know the autometer ones are still fairly dear though and they take RPM catridges to set the shift point. The Pivot unit looks cool and from memory you can dial in the shift point which is easier.

I know!!! when I went-a-lookin' the guy at the shop had an open one...I didn't think it'd fit ('cause I wanted to mount it on the R/S of the dash) and so he pulled it out - it looked terrible. So I went on looking for places to sit it and the middle of the dash was the sweeetest option...:D

    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no? 
    • What Duncan said sounds right. Also, it looks like they only have the driver's mat. Not the rest. Because looking at the diagram: KG4911 is just the mat for the driver. KG4900 is the full set if I'm not mistaken and discontinued.   But, it looks like they may still have the full set for the manual S2. Might be worth checking for the other models as well as they seem slightly different. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/misc/G49 Man, I'm tempted.
    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?
