after market gauges - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Anyone have after market gauges in their ae92's or ae86. If so where did you mount them, what type of gauges, like who makes them. Pics would be cool. I am looking at installing some since the sr5 doesn't have any for oil and such

I don't want them just to look good, I want them because of how I drive, would be nice to know if I lose oil pressure before I had no oil because the idiot light will tell me after lol

Go to Princess Auto, you can get Oil, speedo and other gauges there for cheap.

yea and canadian tire, but I want a nice looking set and an idea of where to mount them

I put the GTS cluster in my SR5, and the GTS secondary gauges... though I have no idea how to hook those up!

I'd like to find some reverse glow gauges for them

I have the gts ones, meh had them in for like 15 min then figured fuck it and put my sr5 ones back in/ I want an oil pressure and vold meter to stick to my dash in pods on either side of that hump

Why?

freakinbox · 03-03-2006, 04:58 PM

why use a tach that is wrong and a speedometer that goes much higher than the top speed of your car. I liked the look of the sr5 gauges, got used to them I guess

aaron7 · 03-03-2006, 05:17 PM

I dunno about you, but my SR5 goes faster than the stock cluster...

TokyoRacer · 03-03-2006, 05:33 PM

Must be tje JDMness of your car aaron. :P Cause mien wasn't that fast.

Autometer all the way.
I got an autometer oil pressure gauge on the A pillar in an autometer gauge cup. I'll be installing a boost gauge soon too dunno where tho.

freakinbox · 03-03-2006, 07:00 PM

what other gauges might I want if I push my car hard alot?

AVANT · 03-03-2006, 07:56 PM

Oil pressure is definately the gauge to get first. A far second for me would be an Air Fuel gauge. Water temp third.

freakinbox · 03-03-2006, 08:36 PM

water temp? wouldn't the temp gauge in my car cover that. So far I want an oil pressure gauge, which I pointed out above. Volt meter which also was pointed out above.

and yea aaron my speedo goes to 180 km/h and I like the fact my car can go faster than the speedo, it's cool lol.

aaron7 · 03-04-2006, 08:23 AM

haha my car is SO JDM. It must me more aerodynamic or something, as I've had it up to 120MPH down a hill on the highway once! It refused to go any faster, just sounded weird lol

freakinbox · 03-04-2006, 09:36 AM

yea on the slighest angle I have had it up to 200 km/h which is 124 mph. Mine sounded fine but if it had been more of a down hill I KNOW it would have gone faster. This summer is comming where I can test it a little more.

the gts speed goes to 240 km/h my car can't beat it, no fun lol
