no worries mate.. as for a pic, i cant find any in PSI, but those part numbers are straight from apexi.com so should be genuine. have a look here - http://www.fortyone.co.nz/parts/show/50 … eter.html# it is that look im pretty sure but should be in PSI.. heres the apexi link so you can see the part numbers etc - http://www.apexi-usa.com/product_electr … ;pageNum=1 |

yea the black face is pretty nice, thats what one i would go with too (prefer the black face to the white one during the day). i have no idea where to get one in OZ but i imagine that any official distributors would be able to order it in for you.. i dunno what PSI they read to as find a pic seems to be harder than finding hens teeth, even this site which claims to sell the PSI gauge just has a pic of a Bar one.. |

by deapoNe on 30-06-07 11:53 PM you could try aaron at rampant, i dont have any experience with him but apparently he can source pretty much anything from japland, and i guess these gauges would be over there.. |

Not sure about that as the BF series requires the link controller...check here cuz for more details http://www.nippon-seiki.co.jp/defishop/index.htm |

Problem is that you need to run the control unit even if you only have one gauge :beee:

Was the part number I gave you not exactly what you were after? It reads to 20psi. Theres no pics of it in PSI but plenty in kPa. I assume it would be the same, just with diferent backing. The lighting doesnt look the same as the other Apexi pic (that must be the EL1). The EL2 has more of a backlight. Looks very cool (not too different from the B4 dash)

B484 - Whoa. Sorry buddy, I missed your post. I must crown you as head cheif LEGEND! EL2 Looks fantastic. I'd be really happy if it read to 20psi. or even to 30psi. It'd be awesome. Just what I want in a gauge, with a bit of Jappy Bling bling to boot. Just That I'd like to know what it looks like before I lay down the coin. Defi - I agree. Lots of coin just for a controller and one gauge. I have no intentions of running multiple gauges. I'll just run a subdatascan for diagnostic purposes, otherwise, I'll keep it stealth. |

I think this is for the BF series, which is what I had posted, I'm sure the other's don;t need the controller, anyways looks like Alex found what he needs. |

And only 52mm (2 1/16th for the yanks out there). 60mm would be Ideal for me. I didn't think Defi would have had an imperial boost gauge at all. I thought it would all have been in metric measurements! There you go...! |

by deapoNe on 01-07-07 11:49 PM APEXI EL II FTW!! im sure it will look exactly the same, however it is extremely odd that there are no pics of them floating around.. my appologies to b484 too as i missed your post and you had the same part # as me.. defi is a bit of overkill i reckon and IMHO the apexi gauge is nicer.. |
