As good as they are I'll rather have something like a Bluetooth scan gauge. Got one for the wife's commo, but just need to find s something that suits a 1997 model.

All seems to be running good now.
After changing the radiator I was still getting slightly high temps when in traffic or just idling for long periods of time. The new radiator came with a radiator cap I thought I'll keep this aside as a spare if I ever need one. Put it on last night and Temps a much better nothing over 88 degrees and no more green dips in the floor.
Still would like to work out if the electric fan comes on at 90 or 100 degrees and why Mines was coming on at 96.....

At least your fan comes on, good to see another thing ticked off.
You've had the gauges in a few days now, thumbs up or down?

If I end up selling my Simex. I will be looking at a set of 305/70/16. I want to get a full set of 5 with new 16x8 rims.
What offset are people running with tyres these size. I know that up to -22 is common, I would like to keep the deep dish look.
Thanks in advance...![]()

After a few weeks with both gauges hooked up I'm happy to report that my coolant temps are between 78-90 degrees with it sitting at 84 most of the time. This is after a new radiator, cap and coolant with demineralized water.
Oil pressure is at 22 psi (idle) and 52 psi (2800 rpm), specs are idle, above 7 and 2800 rpm 43-71 psi as per manual. I'm due for a oil + filter change within the next 1,000 km, so will see if any difference and I can see the gauges clearly in any condition now.![]()
