Hi all, I was looking at some of the Defi-Link Meter BFs (electronic blacked out gauges) and was wondering what people have thought of them, especially regarding readability in daylight or direct sunlight. Any info on this would be much appreciated.

Cheers

same...i've got white bfs and don't have a problem seeing them in the daytime

if you're really having trouble seeing them you can turn the brightness up - somewhat blinding in the night time then hehe :huh:

i leave mine on the lowest brightness in both day and night mode

seen them in night, and they look wicked... however i would spend the $$$ on the engine.....

Apart from the $110 controller, the gauges themselves arent all that expensive compared to HKS, Apexi, Greddy etc.

I have the black faced/white digit BF boost on the pillar and is fine to see!

HA WHAT DO YOU KNOW, THE SEARCH ENGINE ACTUALLY WORKED FOR ONCE.

Hey, I'm looking to purchase some nice gauges. I would prefer if they were all matching. I need the whole gammet!!

-fuel pressure

-oil pressure, maybe temp too

-water temp

-exhaust temp

-maybe a knock indicator

-a/f mixture (is that the same as exhaust temp?)

-boost gauge

Please any suggestions would be great, what to get, what not to worry about. I plan on running the Power FC if that matters.

I have an R32 RB26DETT in my s13, up and running. Need gauges so I can beat the piss out of it with some peace of mind.

I've mounted the radio/cd in the back so I have TONS of space for gauges.

I'll spend what I need to, but I'd like to keep it on the low side. I'll give up looks for reliability if it saves on cost.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
