[QUOTE=GoRacer]Control units:
* Defi = $200

Gauges:
* Defi = $175ea
* Nexus = $200ea

** remote extra, SD card Extra, software extra.
** not shure about the adapter things for water and oil temp if theose are extra.
(I can't beleive Defi is cheaper!)

hey thanks GoRacer. I cant beleive it either "DEFI are cheaper" **** I guess I will stick with defi D gauges.

I think im going with the nexus gauges to match the lighting of the car...

Nexus won't match the factory color lights, the Nexus are a true red. The Defi D-gauge is almost identical to the stock colors

hmmm, i was not necesarily thinking the red color, maybe the red/orange phase? have you seen the gauges put in place next the the cars gagues?

I agree with the statement about Autometer being just as good and I have proof on my set up. I just installed the Defi boost gauge and it reads the EXACT same as my Autometer. The reason I switched was to match my wide band. The Autometer gauge actually matches the interior better (if you get the chrome bezel). I must say that I do like the way the Defi gauge hooks up with the supplied rubber hose instead of the prone to crack plastic line the Autometer gauge comes with.

Just polish the aluminum bezel on the Defi... I did.

Do you have a pic or a link to that? I can't find a 3 gauge by Nismo.

I found this flat one that looks nice

or this one at an angle

This is the one that shows up for a search on Saab. Apperently after read through searches, Saab discontinued theirs. I have A part # at home but never tried to order one.


Too bad you can't buy the DIN panel kit by itself from Defi. I'd rather use the link gauges and choose my own.


Here is AdamC';s flat DIN panel


Sonic7's Carbon Innovation


How do these flat panale ones go in? Some have clips but will the clips work? Are the strong enough to hold the gauges, not rattle or fall out since they don't screw in on the side like the radio? Can someone please update that has been using these?

OK, the angled one is specific for 300ZX. I didn't notice the curved edges on the bottom and the top may be wider.

So my idea is adding the angle things on to the VW or the carbon flat panel version but I still don't undertand how it is secured in place.

I have had both the autometer carbon fiber guages and the Defi D series. Honestly, the defi D seriies do not work that well anymore. The boost gauge is off, the A/F does not work but the water temp is working fine.

I guess it's all up to taste, but I may try the new Defi blue racer, and see how they turn out.

The boost gauge is off, my electronic boost controller with digital readout is dead on accurate, and the defi always reads more vacuum and about 1 psi more of boost than the electronic does with peak hold.

Well I read over the Blue Racer gauge specs and it's electronic but does not need a link unit. The discontinued D-Gauges were mechanical. So maybe that is the issue, not necessarily the brand but mechanical versions don't last or are as acurate.

Does anyone have any updates on which single DIN gauge panel fits well and holds the gauges securely?

defi link!

Oh no they weren't. Only the boost was mechanical. The rest were electronic.
