I really didnt know what place to put this, but i guess you can say these are for tuning.

Have you guys seen Autometer's Nexus series gauges? Their VERY similar to Defi gauges and control unit, but im assuming Autometer's is WAY cheaper.

Heres a link with a flash display of how these gauges and control unit work.

i'm pretty anxious to get this.

 

anyone have any information on when these will be for sale?

 

looks pretty cool. I woudn't count on them being way cheaper. If you look at autometers top of the line current gauges which are the full sweep electric gauges that have playback, they start at like $200 each. I'm betting these would be more, which would put them right around the price of defi's. We'll see though. I wonder when they come out. The SD card feature is really slick and a smart move.

edit: it says Nov. 2 but there's no other info on them.

looks good

 

yeah, no info on them that i see, and it does say november 2nd. i called autometer and they transfered me to a guy named matt who has all the details on the nexus gauges. i got a voicemail saying hes at sema until monday, so hopefully he gets in touch with me on monday and i can get some more information.

 

i got a reply from mark whos from autometer:

Dear Sir,

The Nexus gauge series is currently scheduled for a January release. As
we get closer to then, the release date will become more firm. Please
feel free to check back with me via email for updates.

As for pricing, the individual gauges with senders will sell for
approximately $199-249.00 each. The Sensor Module and Remote is sold as
a kit for approximately $199. This is required for Nexus gauge
operation.

The initial lineup is for the following 7 gauges:

6455: Water Temp (100-260)
6459: Boost/Vac (30 In. Hg. / 30 PSI)
6445: EGT (0-2,000)
6453: Oil Pressure (0-100 PSI)
6456: Oil Temperature (140-300)
6474: Nitrous Pressure (0-1600)
6463: Fuel Pressure (100 PSI)
6400: Sensor Module + Remote Control

We have tentative plans to offer additional instruments, but these will
be finalized and announced in the coming months. The first of which
will likely be a tachometer to be available in the early Spring of 2005.

Sincerely,
Marc Erickson
