At Apexi's web site they have a cool (blue) rev/speed meter computer that goes on the dash of your car. It gives alot of information about your engine and speed/time. I was wondering if anyone has stuck one in their 240sx. Preferably an s13. I need some gauges for my car and I thought that this was a good alternative. Let me know. I can't find any documention that it will work on certain types of vehicles. Thanks

I've seen em in 240s(Yes KAs). Probably just a pain to wire. I don't like the Rev/Speed meter becuase it only reads out in KPH. Although that is 'cool' and 'Jdm style' I can't stand it. Face it, in the US it's MPH, I don't want to convert it in my head. From what I understand it was ONLY KPH. Correct me if i'm wrong.

I'll look into that MPH thing. I think I'll get one if it really does.

They came out with a new one and here is some info on it directly from Apexi

REV/SPEED METERVariety of functions such as tach,speed, 0-400m time, etc… in one unit.Like the original, the new Rev/Speed Meter GP is a complete multi function measuring device designed to measure and monitor data such as vehicle speed, engine RPM, and elapsed times. However, the strength of the new unit lies in its differences. Probably the most obvious being its completely redesigned look. This new aesthetically pleasing model was crafted to match the likes of other highly popular A'PEX electronics such as the VAFC (VTEC Controller) and the AVCR (Boost Controller). The new unit also delivers a host of new functions. Standard features include: Engine RPM, Vehicle Speed, Travel Distance, and Battery Voltage (All which can be displayed in real time graph mode, numerical mode, or analogue mode; 1-4 channels at a time.), Peak Hold, Replay (With 60 second playback.), Speed Limiter Cut, 0-100m/200m/400m times with trap speed, 0-100km/h/200km/h/300km/h times, Mid Range Acceleration (The user can preset any range of speed to measure.), Stop Watch functions, Best Time Memory, RPM Warning, Speed Warning, RPM and Speed Outputs (For external devices requiring an RPM or speed signal.), Tire Size Correction (For acceleration and timing accuracy.), and Vehicle weight input. Etc. I just wanted to know if it will hook up in an s13 KA engine. It can be very handy.
