Best place to buy Gauges from ??

[uwa8nc]

Hey guys was just browsing through all the performance car website's

And was wondering,where's the best place to buy gauges from.

Boost gauge,Oil Temp,Tacho Etc...

GFB dosen't have any gauge's on their website,Trade me have a few but are ridiculously priced.

Brand new,Or good condition one's sell for over 60$

I remember the day's when you could buy a decent boost gauge for 20$.

What's happened?

Let me know where you guy's shop.

Cheers ;D

You can have any 2 of the above.

Spend a bit of coin and get something decent.

An average set of gauges are about $60 each. And I stress the word average.

Defi,apexi and Greddy are a little to expensive,What's the next best option - autogauge?

If your trying to get a good gauge for a good price then you should probably just keep an eye on trademe. Good deals pop up on their regularly, you just have to wait for them.

I think the best "cheaper" gauges would be prosport, available from Repco. I've used them in the past and were really good, however they are still around the $100 mark each. However if you go here: http://www.xyberautos.com/catalog/default.php and tell them you are from ClubSUB in NZ, the guy there will do you a decent price for a set of 3. The ones available here are 52mm, but he can get 60mm ones which I reckon do look A LOT better.

You may even find them on Trademe as well.

But you will need to add on the cost of the wiring and control modules, as they don't seem to be included

That was already on my watch-list ;D

I wasn't a fan of the pro-sport ones TBH the set I aquired a sold off quickly, saw them demo'd on a rally car and drove me nuts just as much as they drove the owner nuts, hence I sold those off. Loren recommended spitfire gauges as a good interim between price and quality.

I got my used hks boost gauge for $100 on trademe and it's in new condition... i'd rather that than pieeess about with the cheap crappy ones lol my mate got a boost gauge for $12 on trademe new...that was a laugh and a half

[aim]

Had a prosport boostgauge. was pretty good.

For boost gauges, i'd say steer clear of Turbosmart, there nice and cheap, but I've already replaced one, because it no longer read Zero and now the replacement looks like its doing the same.

My old Greddy gauge still sits there steadfastly reading Zero.

I'm actually wanting to try the Blox range at Fortyone

http://www.fortyone.co.nz/parts/show/1052/Blox/Gauge.html

pretty much every gauge is $89 and they should be pretty reputable.

[wrx_lou]

41 don't generally sell crap so at $89 they should be a primo buy!
