most aftermarket japanese produced gauges with peak and hold functions are 60mm. I've never seen any peak/hold buttons on 52mm old school hks gauges. I'm like 99.9% sure theyre 60mm

your actually keeping that nasty black on orange guage setup? i could only stand it for a few days of driving then i had to throw up and get some white faced guages. i cant stand that orange... but thats just my opinion

tjeter

yeah i think you are right, i happen to like these gauges matt so oh well, any other takers at guessing? i'm hoping they are 52mm because aren't 60mm huge?

I like the old school feel that the orange gives off. Although it isn't as popular now, that's not why I bought the car. If I wanted something popular I would of bought a Civic... And then promptly committed suicide out of shame.

nope I have 2 or 3 old school 60mm HKS gauges and love them.

I like the black and orange, i tryed to make my apes rsm orange instead of blue

tjeter

yeah, i think they are 60mm also, what exactly does the reset and select buttons do?

ilike2eatricers

When you press select if will enable the peak hold function (it will hold your needle atyour highest reading). you can enable/disable peak hold. Reset well resets it.

Majority of the peak / hold type gauges are 60mm.
It is slightly smaller than the typical U.S. 2-5/8" gauges.

Those HKS gauges are most likely 60mm.
They look like very old models though, looking at the font.
Be careful about the senders, since HKS has discontinued a lot of the senders from their very old gauges like those.
So if yours gets lost or broken, you might not be able to replace the sensors, making the gauges basically useless.

Oh, and that comment about BACKLIT orange faced gauges looking bad...

They match the stock interior lighting better.
Red / orange is on the low wavelength side of the spectrum.
Thus, they are better for your nightvision.
All those IDIOTS who like white or INDIGLO **** are screwing their eyes up driving at night.
Think about it.
Blue is on the high side of the light wavelength spectrum, and it's the worst color to be staring at when driving in the dark.

If I could, I would run all BACKLIT orange faced auxiliary gauges with one or two PRIMARY display gauges (boost and EGT) with maybe contrasting colors.
I run GReddy 60mm P / H boost and EGT gauges that are black face, but light up green at night - this makes for easy peripheral vision at night, as most of my other gauges are orange...
