these drag cars run over 2000-3000hp and u think they are just trying to save a few bucks buying autometer, bah yer right  :D

not saying defi r shit or a ripoff im just saying autometer aint shit

a 3000hp engine running over 10 000rpm with 7L capacity is what they get used on so they aint that bad. autometer r the most reputable brand in the world for gauges and in the racing scene.

haha Nver really seen a 2000Hp or 3000Hp JAP car with an Autometer gauge in it.

And dont really think you would see a V8 Holden with a Defi gauge!! :lol:

By the way can you find somewhere in this thread where someone said Autometre were shit???????????

i like defi gauges. and i admit it may be because i'm a wanker. but i don't really give a shit, because i like them, simple as that. having said that i have a boost gauge in the GTR. I've looked at it about twice (when setting the boost levels). never looked at it since. though i do have a peak hold function on the profec b II and i do look at that so i guess it's not really a fair comparison.

i use peak replay on my (very old) tomei boostgauge about 100x more often than looking at the guage while flat out. if i get a set of gauges at some stage i would defintaly think a replay function is a vital part the gauge must have

+ defi look nice and are top quality. defi is what i will buy if i buy ever buy any new guages

im sure you know anyway (and is probaby already posted)

I have defi gauges.

I guess that makes me a ricer.

You know what? -I don't give a f**k what you guys think - I like them and they replace the 3 factory GTR gauges with oil temp, water temp, and a decent oil pressure gauge.

And if you have to get online and argue about a gauge... get a life.

I guess my POS little 500hp+ motor isn't good enough for accurate readings on there products then... I've only used there tacho, as to be quite honest I find all there gauges pretty damn ugly.. The tacho isn’t even accurate!! I find my self-looking at my small Tectom unit again and not the tacho which really defeated the propose of trying to keep my eyes on the road and not having to look over at my centre consol!.

Just can't go past Japanese quality ;)

Have a chat to Troy at Pro Speed Racing or Kev at Process West (www.wrxparts.com.au). I know Process West specialise in WRX stuff but Defi gauges are Defi gauges, right? His site hasn't got much listed (well bugger all, really) but it can't hurt to give him a ring, right?

Greenline or Nengun could possibly be cheaper but it's up to you if you want to price match with these guys. Just a suggestion.....

Cheers,

Ben

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
