What kind of engine do you have under the hood?How much did it cost you to do this? and was it really so hard to wire up your own custom gauges in the dash position as my mechanic said it would be?

but man gotta hand it to you, that **** is sick.

[Broadfield]

Very very nice slick setup!Quick question the vsd x displays in mph?

The VSD will display the speedo and any other gauge attached to the Defi link controller in metric or imperial. Which is pretty killer since all of my gauges are metric, but can read them in imperial on the HUD.

Under the hood I have a S15 SR20 w/6 speed.

The amount spent is a tough one. The labor was obviously free. The texture paint was the only material that was remotely pricey...... $24 for the can. All of the Defi stuff I got at 40% off retail through my distributor. Retail would be about $1700 or so I'm guessing. Wiring is the easiest part, however, that is what I do for a living. For my exact setup I would charge $600 labor.

Most excellent! The gauges in what used to be the vent... Get some PVC piping with same ID as the gauge, cut 25-30 degree wedges and use epoxy or hysol to make a a cluster that is raked towards you so that you canvisually see accurate readings without too much head movement. Finish the cluster after shaping and sanding with a nice primer and paint. Other than that, that dash cluster is just fantastic!

Are you suggesting that I do that!?! If so, they are already angled. Just look closer at the pic.

i demand a video of the start up sequence!!

[gripstr]

Well sir, If i ever visit Illinois,

Checking out your s13 will be in the top of list.

[hbpignosePA]

1700 for gauges...... thats hella pimp....



we should start a thread of all the ppls whose cars cost them less than that



broadfield, u are indeed a god

[240sxHitman]

i demand a video of the start up sequence!!

I second that

[a_ahmed]

very frickin cool! I want to do exactly something like that, but this is the first time ive seen someone else do it in the way that i sort of envisioned doing it hehe. Awesome

[s13fOr_me]

thats a sick setup dude but if it cost 1700 for that, then damn.

[R6_240sx]

car keeps gettin better and better.

[Broadfield]

where did you get that?

Your car is so nice man keep making more things for us to awe about

I got the HUD from my distributor. They run about $399 shipped to you. Price may have gone down now that it's been out for a little bit. They are still hard to find though. I did see one on ebay a few weeks back though.

[Jiggyfry]

I just got out of the shower and found this thread.

Now im spent and smell funky again.

Thanks.

[breadbox]

I must say, That is one of the nicest setups i have ever seen.

Is the digital display easy to see from somewhat of an angle or do you have to look dead on?

Also is it easy to see during the day?

What about if light is hitting it somewhat directly?

[SketchyRollin564]

As much as i HATE digital spedos, thats still pretty cool. It definatley modernizes the look of the interior a little.

[hannibal]

Creative placement of the HUD. Looks clean as hell!

[Beez_S13]

nice

It is super easy to see in all lighting conditions...... even direct light. It has 5 levels of dimming.... during the day I run the highest level and at night I dim it all the way down. It also has a auto light sensor, which I did not use, so it will adjust on it's own. However, I like things in my control and I would have had to find a place to mount it. So I just do it manually. The sensor is actually pictured along side of it in the stock picture I posted of the HUD. Angle doesn't matter at all. If you were to look through the side window at it you would be able to see it just easy. However, the edge would be cut off a little.

Great set-up my friend. Very original.

[Driftless240]

I don't know if I love you, hate you, want to father your babies, all of the above, none of the above.... at this point I am in such complete and utter shock over how awesome that is, I couldn't tell you how I feel.

Very well done, that sir is why you are the interior king.

Clean, Subtle Beauty, how I feel it should be done, and you have completed that with Baller Status.

[Fahaka]

this is some excellent work.

[nikl240]

I'm going to bed now, and i am planning on dreaming of nothing but those gauges sweeping through their motions as i carve the corners of la-la land. Props on the excellent application of time, effort, and outragious funds.

[RB20DETodd]

alot of money there looks good boost gague a little too huge imo but not my whip

[Broadfield]

I did a 80mm boost gauge because I needed another 80mm gauge to be symmetric with the 80mm tach. Once you get into the 80mm Defi's you don't exactly have a lot to choose from. You get to choose from tach and boost. I am surprised some have a problem with it.

[tnong84]

man that is so freaking sick! i am drooling!

[KA-NEWB]

he's on fiiyyaaa!!

[playbass311]

Frankly I think the 80mm boost is pretty cool

....uh tnong84, dont you think that sig is a little big?

[tnong84]

sorry man. i didnt know it was that big. so i changed it.
