    Digital Boost & EGT guage

    Anyone know of a combined boost & EGT gauge. I'm thinking of something about the size of a scanguage, 1 side displays boost, the other EGT temp.

    I'm running out of dash space.

    I have Autron mounted on steering wheel shroud between speedo and tacho and works well for me. One problem is that the older ones do not have backlight adjustment so it is to bright at night. There is a aftermarket dimmer available for about $50 which I will have to get around to buying sooner rather than later.
    At the end of the day, all you have is yourself and all you need is your friends (and in our case our Patrol)

    Redarc do a nice one. I was looking at it today. looks sweet but comes with a Price tag!!

    this one is actually a good price i think.

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/REDARC-52...3D151790725061

    Same seller has them for $400 and up too. I was quoted $450 today.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    This gauge will also let you buy an extra sensor to allow you to add the 3rd digital measurement, i.e.. Outside temp or fridge temp, Radiator water temp, Oil Temp etc. Very good unit i think.

    I prefer the two function one like this - I reckon it’s easier to read at a glance.

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/REDARC-G5...3D291625585602

    I know nothing of this seller but it states in the ad that they are an ‘authorised Redarc reseller’. This is essential if you want Redarc to honour any warranty issues. If a seller is not an authorised seller, they will tell you to return the item to them in the case of a problem, & they then return it to Redarc as though they were the customer. I imagine it could easily be a drawn out & unsatisfactory process.

    Glo-Shift use to do some nice 3 function gauges at a reasonable price.

    These come with all the sensors and cable to wire them too.
