I am in search for a nice gauges and think i like autometers Nexus series - Similar to defis but in 52mm size.

Does anyone has any good mad experience with Fuel and Oil pressure gauges from this Nexus series.????? I heard some people had issues with boost gauge, but I am not getting that one.

So Advice please!!!

 

The only difference between most autometer gauges are the faces and needles. Same ****, different package. I'm not a big fan of Autometer, but I can't say they're awful. So...whatever floats your boat.

 

ultra lite series are good.

others are crap.

that goes with the nexus.

 

Wow another rip on autometer thread I bet at least half the people that rip them apart have never even used one.

I've been happy with my autometer guages. Furthermore their customer support was excelent when I called. (I lost a part and they sent a new one for free)

 

good customer support. I complained about the POS Nexus gauges and they said the controller boxes are defective. They took my name and said they would call me when they figured it out. I said so what do i do in the mean time, they said to send it back if i like and they would send me an equal amount of product of my choice of equal value. Works for me.....

 

I had Autometer Sport Comps for over 2 years with no probs. Nothing wrong with Autometer, just not JDM and doesn't cost out the a$$.

 

Good customer support is one thing but, I remember those things would never give an accurate reading on my friends RX-7.

just my limited experience, though.

 

That goes for nearly every gauge company out there. In fact the accuracy of some high dollar JDM brands are no better than generic gauges. Best thing to do is to measure it against a reference- your favorite dyno, a real spec'd meter ect.

 

I have a Greddy electronic boost gauge in the mail to replace an Autometer Sport Comp mechanical gauge. The Sport Comp needle doesn't read zero with the car turned off anymore, and that gives me some reservations about how accurate it is right now.

I'm sure Autometer would replace the gauge if I asked them, but I need a certain level of trust in my boost gauge since a MBC gives one the power to destroy the engine if set incorrectly. I'm thinking that gauges are a bad place to try and save a buck.

 

If you want to go with the Nexus look of a gauge without the price check out these:

SPW Gauge

 

Those look real nice, but its even less known than Nexus gauges.

So noone actually have Nexus Gauges in their car?

 

Hi.. I am not an evo owner.. I actually have a mazda3 http://www.sounddomain.com/ride/718287 but I do have the nexus gauges which you can see on my cardomain site.
I have had nothing but problems with them from day 1.
The tend to freeze up and require me to unplug the control box.
I sent the unit back to autometer who had it for 6 hours then shipped it back to me. I recieved the standard "voltage drop at startup answer" and that was it.

I now have them on a switched ciruit with plenty of juice and good ground and still they freeze.
Imo a waste of $800. (boost, egt, oil pressure and control box)
