Gauge Holders For M35

[ironpaw]

PLanning to buy and install a boost gauge for the car...saw this and thought it might be a good setup:

it should fit our car right? the dash is pretty much identical to a G35/V35 right?

I just hope it doesn't obstruct the tacho and speedo too much...

Also, what brand Boost gauge do you guys recommend? I'm thinking of going AEM Analog...

What are you going to put in the other spot? Why not just go with an A pillar gauge?

Well thought I would throw this one into the mix

I already have the AFR gauge on the pillar. with this I'd have both boost and AFR on the dash. Unless I mount the boost on the pillar as well. ATI makes dual/tripple A Pillar gauge holders for G35s but alas they're on the wrong side for us...

Or I could just get an informeter

Hmm, at $550 USD? No thanks...might as well get an Informeter...

ironpaw.... the picture in the first link shows the ignition barrel on the left - when it should be on the right.... so im assuming the picture is upside down, making the gauges mount from underneath?

NICE! But why so expensive?

Why just informeter? Have you looked at HKS CAMP2, or you could try an OB Link: http://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/products/electronics/monitor/ob-link/index.html

Don't you have an Android tablet in your car? If OB Link will give you all of that without secondary probes like the Informeter it might be worthwhile.

I haven't looked at the HKS Stuff...thought that stuff was good if you had the FCON (which I dont..)...

I'll have a look at the OB Link thing but I thought no OB adaptor's been known to communicate with our cars apart from informeter and CAMP2?

@ DeepDish - you got a point...haha. I just thought the wiper stalk and the barrel were the same size...doh...

[ironpaw]

Had a look at the OB-Link - I'm sold...$200 delivered isn't bad at all.

Wait a minute...I can't find boost on the options to display...LOL defeats the purpose...still I might get it anyway...

Yeah OB-Link lists compatibility with NM35s, so should be ok. I'm curious how much data you get.

CAMP2 works with or without F-con. However you can get extra senders for CAMP2, but it seems like a better idea to wire those probes into the F-con then connect the F-con to CAMP2. One set of senders for both.

By the time you price up all the senders for the Informeter it's pretty expensive. I wanted a solution that would be most cost effective and useful.

True but look at the amount of gauges you get, and accurate ones too with easily resettable peak holds. I have no problem recommending it to anyone. (only issue with the emu is some of the engine data is wrong, like injector duty etc.)

I must admit the OB link looks good too, I will have to research that one some more.

[ironpaw]

Well for one the Informeter displays Boost...the OB-LINK doen't

CAMP2 is more expensive then Informeter...

[scotty nm35]

Informeter touch has 3 sensor inputs if you buy the expander, oil temp, oil pressure and boost. It also has an analogue input for your wideband. Other than the exhaust temp the informeter is my only requirement, easy to hide too as it looks like a GPS unit.

Incredibly true. No intake manifold pressure display for the OB-Link for VQ25det.

VQ35de Skyline's? No worries though.

Also, HKS cannot confirm that it will work with VQ35de Stagea's

[ironpaw]

Arrgh pisses me off that you need to spend almost another $200 bux to get the sensors needed to display boost/oil/fuel/pressure/temp/blah

Maybe I'll just get an OB link + a $100 boost gauge

[bigkevracer]

Can't you get a cable for the Informeter that plugs into the Emanage and pulls data from it's senders?

[impul535w]

As if the OB Link only works with Android... LAME.

But you can only have one or the other, the emanage communication or the sensor adapter I am fairly sure.

Just remember the Greddy sensors aren't cheap but they are accurate. I guess it's similar to buying a Defi set, just more compact.

Exactly what I'm doing. ('cept the boost gauge was $60 )

Which gauge did you get?

Don't tell me those fake Defi ones on ebay/forums for $60? hehe
