Feeler For new Product.

[johngriff]

Sneak Preview Over.

[projekt_s13]

Wow nice. I might pick one up in a few weeks.

[JRas]

nice idea, but what about us S14 drivers? :P

[Jgrand03]

thats a really good idea good job man might have to pick 1 up when the paycheck comes

[johngriff]

S14 is on its way.

Waiting for a friend to send me a cluster so I can make the enclosure.

[rican_nick]

are teh dummy lights preset to certain temps? is it programmable? Stock cluster plug works for it?

Pretty sweet idea.

[Dutchmalmiss]

If the hole cut-out for the display was cleaned up, I'd definately take one!

Also, how does it light up at night? Same?

[johngriff]

Yes it fits into the stock cluster plug.

The red led over heat light is user programmable to whatever temp you desire.

The display is backlit when you click the lights to on.

[S13Boosts]

damn thats pretty coo, too bad i dont have a 240 anymore LOL +1:bigok:

[azndoc]

Nice product John.

But do the girls in your avatar come with purchase?

[johngriff]

There are more applications under development if this takes off.

Girls? They could have.

[PoorMans180SX]

Looks good. If I had any money I'd buy one.

[k-os]

NICE ima swoop on one soon.

[johngriff]

Looks good. If I had any money I'd buy one.

Only $80?!?!

[boozels]

is this limited production?
I can pick one up early next month

Very nice product & great idea
killer price too!!!

[johngriff]

No, it will be full production, with more applications right around the corner.

[JVD]

Very cool product. I'm sure it will do well. I've already got a digital gauge otherwise I'd pick one of these up(probably sick of hearing this already. haha).

[johngriff]

No I would rather hear that.

Because if no one wants to buy it, I simply will not make any.

[jackjack]

looks good man. i dig it.

[steve shadows]

buy it buy them buy all of it


I will be puting one on ever car I ever own

what the point of the temp "needle" to tell you when you have already been fucked?

no thank Headgasket is too much work

buy one.

[zugoi]

i was gunna change just about everything that has to do with my cooling system and that looks boss.

[DreamN]

I'd really like to see this in action. Great idea.

[greddyguy]

if i pre-order on friday the 11th (april), when should i expect to see it arrive?

[turtl631]

I like, I'd probably get one for S14. I'm all about keeping the interior as simple and clean as possible, both for simplicity and to reduce the risk of theft.

Do you have any better pics? To me it just looks like you photoshopped in a digital readout, lol.

[k0uki]

nice, ill be waiting for the s14 version

[IIIXziuR]

huh that seems pretty nifty, the price is nice too.

[brokeAs240sx]

s13 digital/hud cluster version?

Yea, that product image looks photoshoped? Or is that actually how it is going to look?

What are the color of the 3 led's & digital readout?

[burnsauto]

s13 digital/hud cluster version?

Yea, that product image looks photoshoped? Or is that actually how it is going to look?

What are the color of the 3 led's & digital readout?

yeah im with you on this one. I'd like to see the final install to see how clean it is.

This is a great idea though, I was thinking about getting a yashio factory okachan unit, but this would free up some clutter :)

[2iv0 sx]

Yes one for digital cluster and that would be great!

[Petoria]

Hit me up when you get that there S14 display done.

[spooledyou33]

you should post a vid of this thing in action i will deff buy one if i can see it work

[prang11]

Help for the HUD. Awesome product.

[HyperTek]

nice price =p

[LB.Motoring]

Whats the response time on the display?





haha jk,

Looks like a good deal, Id pick one up If I had a s13.

[johngriff]

HUD will NOT happen. The display for temp is all wrong on the cluster already, also the production numbers on the HUD are too low to justify making them.

Response time is quick, 30 readings per second, with a 2 second averaging calculation.

Yes, the final version will be much cleaner, the buttons will be under the LCD display.

[Rob's S14]

That looks pretty tight. Seamless too, looks like it belongs there. One quick question though, do they come with the logo or is that just so everyone knows it's yours?

[johngriff]

Right now the logo is going to be attached with a sticker, later it will be screen printed. That is all volume Dependant.

[DreamN]

can't wait for the production version and it's nice and cleaned up. This will definitely help to stop the clutter on a lot of ppl's cars. Now I'd probably need to buy an oil temp and oil pressure gauge.

[WilloW]

Nice, one less ugly gauge for me to worry about.

[scottie]

I like the idea of an actual number vs. dash lines. I would like to keep it as clean as possible so can the logo be removed easily? I see you already have a price on your site. Are these already for sale?

Scott

[corriganjoshua]

Looks good keep up the good work

[Quail]

Definitely want an S14 version when it comes out.

Aslong as you don't rape me on shipping to England!

[trsilvias13]

I want a s14 as well, it would be cool to tie this in with some kind of a temp fan controller so we can trigger random stuff at certain temps.

[brndck]

fyi, i'll be purchasing one as soon as i get back in cali.
just out of curiousity, does anyone know what optimal operating temp range should be for sr20? and what should i set the warning light at?

[Dutchmalmiss]

fyi, i'll be purchasing one as soon as i get back in cali.
just out of curiousity, does anyone know what optimal operating temp range should be for sr20? and what should i set the warning light at?

In Fahrenheit, normal should be around 170-190ish, start to get worried at around 205-210ish. Someone chime in on Celsius. I'm too lazy to convert.

[johngriff]

And the scary thing is the stock gauge wont start to move past the middle until 220.

Which is why this is a necessity.

I will do my best on shipping to england, maybe you can pickup a demo I send to my dad in old harlow?

[Rittmeister]

What sensor does this thing take readings from? It's a great idea but can you tell us a bit more about how it works? I thought the stock gauge read from that one-wire sensor on the head, which is why it's lousy. Does your gauge somehow read from the same sensor (but more accurately) or from the sensor for the ECU, or what?

Very curious.

[johngriff]

The DTIG no longer relies on the factory thermoswitch. It views the temperature the same as the Engine Control unit, making the accuracy very high.

[Rittmeister]

OK, that's what my Pivot fan controller does.

Next question - is there splicing involved in the installation of your unit? Or does the ECU temp signal somehow get routed to the gauge cluster, even though it's not displayed?

Not trying to be argumentative, I'm quite interested in your gauge, but again I'm curious.

[96Turbo]

looks sweet. how bout some pictures of it in action? If i saw some action shots and/or video i just might be tempted into impulsively buying one. ;)

[weagle]

any chance on similar setup but for fuel?

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

looks good john! keep us posted with some updated pics. this will have to be on my car sooner then later!

[johngriff]

I could make one for fuel, but that would be Dependant on the success of this.

Yeah, Alex, just hit me up when you are ready, because well, you actually track your car. ;)

[tt99ol]

i want one, let me get my money sorted out and i will get back to you in the next week or so

[Mister.E]

that looks pretty cool man. maybe after i fix my multitude of other problems i can pick one of these up.

[drift freaq]

I'd like to see one for oil temp. :D It looks good John I am definitely interested in one.

[Jza]

I am interested. But, please take my concern into consideration.

1) Please keep the logo detachable or a sticker to us if we want to have it. Cali drivers worries about getting pull over. ( I am one of them).

2) Can you have the programmable control somewhere so that we don't have to take off the cluster everytime we change the setting?

3) I'd assume you have all the info for all 240sx OEM engine's temp. so that we would know what is the normal temp. and over heat temp. Most of the analog readers do NOT know the digital reading. If not, please advice.

Please keep us update when you have the final production pic. I'll definitely going to get one if the above conern is not a problem. Good work!!

[kevtrinh]

This is what i've been looking for all my life !

[hustlervibes]

I'd get one definitely if it was for the S14 and the logo was a sticker, but it'd have to be the white face version.

[lonelydrifter]

Can I get some more info about how this actually installs and works?

Other than that it looks great and I would be able to get rid of my pod gauge and wiring in the bay.

[turtl631]

I can see wanting to get your name out there, but I think this product alone will do that, and the little logo is unnecessary. Or just keep it a removable sticker- this is something that helps decrease clutter. The kind of person that wants this probably doesn't want to add clutter in the form of a logo that doesn't match anything else in the cluster at all. Considering the number of replies in this thread already, I don't think the advertisement from the logo is necessary. Good products sell themselves.

[LB.Motoring]

Let me know, I'll rep that shit on the Bimmer Boards!

[gippy87]

So is the picture just to show what it will look like or is that a pic of a finished product? Just wondering wasnt sure it looked like finished product

[ellisonrox]

i have to voice my support for an S14 one too, as mine isn't just lousy, it doesn't work at all.

[s13 drifta]

I would buy one if you made it for the HUD cluster.

[gotta240]

I apologize if this has already been coverd, but where exactly is this getting its signal from?

IIRC the factory sender is a POS and not to be trusted. Not to mention, if you get an air pocket or low enough on fluid it wont read the temp because it must have constant contact with h20?

Please do explain. You seem to be on to something but i'd like to here the above concerns addressed. Also, please keep the logo removable.

THERE!! msglngthmf

[project_s13]

where do i get one?
when can i get it?
does it use celcius? farhiet is f*iing usless
PM me plz i know many ppl in my area that would want one

[240trainee]

dude, you read the thread? Seriously. Everything you just asked has been addressed.

Looks like a rad product, might pick one up for the daily, I have a PFC with commander and a water gauge in the coupe, lol, makes it kinda pointless.

But I would throw one in my hatch for sure, great idea.

[gotta240]

THERE!! msglngthmf


Thanks! But it still seems like its pulls from the factory sending unit which is notorious for being shitty. I understand that this will give an exact and accurate reading of what the SENSOR reads, but that doesn't do much if the sender itself sucks. Or is there another sensor or am i just confused as usual?

LOL.

[krazydriver]

^ there are 2 temp sensors.
Factory Gauge temp sensor sucks
Factory ECU temp sensor is right next to it and works great.
What they're doing is splicing into the ECU temp, so it's a decent sender running into a MUCH nicer gauge.


Great product here, if i hadn't picked up a water temp gauge to deal with the inaccuracies of the factory one.... i would have gotten one of these.

[scottie]

NM - Looks like they're taking pre-orders.

My suggestion = Make the Logo removable


Scott

[240trainee]

yea, or make the logo gray outline or something, a little more subtle.

I dunno, if the customer hates the logo they can paint over it.

I personally don't give a shit, I'll go the laziest route possible.

[sr20powerd]

Interested in the S14 layout

[advin builtsr20]

i love it, nice n clean! I will definitely pick one up after I sell my s14! Thanks for a sik product!

[YoungGun]

Very interested, I would ditch my water temp gauge to get one of these, easier to read, it's right in front of you.

[Howard92884]

The cutout for the digital readout looks crooked. I would buy one if it looked a little cleaner.

Edit: Didn't see your post on saying the final version will be much cleaner. When you get pics of the final version I will most likely purchase one.

[Thursday]

thats\d be kinda awesome.
ive been looking for something like this

[s13poop]

why does alll the dope stuff come out after i sell my 240 :wtc:

next one should be a fuel guage you'll make tons of $$$$

once i get my next 240 this will definately be on the list

dope shit john keep it up!! :bigok:

[DreamN]

I'd like to see one for oil temp. :D It looks good John I am definitely interested in one.

Dude, you freakin' read my mind! This is exactly what I told the guy who wanted to get a group buy on the buddy club cluster to do.

Ditto. This would be great to eliminate the need for too many aftermarket products.

So is the picture just to show what it will look like or is that a pic of a finished product? Just wondering wasnt sure it looked like finished product

dude... you fail. it's not the final version.

Fuel gauge plus oil pressure gauge would be pimp. It seems the fuel gauge is never really that accurate.
