For those who don't already know, I'm whacking a 1JZGTE and A340E auto into Ye Olde MA61. I'll have a SAFC-II for minor air/fuel tidying-up (mounted above rear vision mirror) and a Blitz electronic boost controller hidden somewhere down low. I'll have plain black Autometer boost, water temp. and maybe trans temp 2" gauges to the left of the dash.
You'll see in my tech. post that I'm now grappling with options and means of getting the factory digi dash to take tacho and speedo signals off the motor & gearbox.
Another option is to spend a little more and get an Apexi RSM, which will give me rpm, kph - and also battery, rwhp, 0-100/200/400kph, speed cut lifting, speed & rev limit warning, trip meter and a bunch of other stuff. Which is all good.
But, when I visualise this unit sitting in front of the factory dash, I can't help but think it's going to look fully sick, ricey ugly and like a bad rip-off of the Apexi promo car!
Later on, I could always have a go at building a new dash unit with the RSM thing sitting flush.
What do you guys reckon? Will it look just too ugly? Or is it worth it for the functionality (not including all the added wank display stuff)?
Thanks in advance,
Justin
JZA-61
