hi guys,

I've been on the hunt for quite some time for a decent yet affordable multi function display unit (much like the greddy infometer touch without the $600+ $300 (for sensors) price tag) - my main important displays would be oil temp & oil pressure in the display/gauge.

I've come across this unit on ebay. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CAR-VEHICLE-LCD-GAUGE-OIL-PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE-RPM-VOLT-multifunction-4-1-/200689764810?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eba0ac9ca

seems like a handy little unit and judging by the pictures, it looks to be made by Autogauge (according to the logo) but searching on the autogauge website, i can't find anything.

has anyone had any experience with this or can recommend any other multi displays (as long as it has oil temp & pressure together) units for under $300?

size: 14.5cm X 8cm X 2cm (thinking of squeeze this in my spare din slot)

comes with:

1x display unit

1x mounting bracket

1x oil temp sensor

1x oil pressure sensor

1x control box

The seller offers 3 months warranty against factory defects, and i've asked him if there has been any reported issues and his reply was

"The only issue people have is with the RPM indication is not as instantaneous as a normal rev counter, as it is a digital readout"

for $117 + $10 delivery, and being shipped from QLD, seems like a very good buy!

thoughts/comments ??

how does it connect ?

sensors go to a control box, and the control box plugs into the unit.

I'm personally using the ARK MFD which works very very well. Unfortunately it costs a bit more than this one and does require additional sensors for the oil temp/pressure.

Yeah, i saw that unit, looks nice but cost wise kills it.

i might just stick with my blitz gauges and run them.

did some more searching, and came across this in the UK; http://www.zada-tech.com/product/multi-gauges/lcd-based-digital-multi-gauge

still quite expensive but cheaper then ARK and Greddy units.

too bad it isn't boxed and looks very ghetto/DIY.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
