Electronic speedometers


280zex

Recommended Posts

Ok so I'm in the middle of getting the 240sx transmission swap done. I am now looking at electronic speedometers that will fit in the stock 280z dash.

 

Who is using what?

what do you like/dislike about it?

 

I'm leaning towards the autometer pro-comp series. I already have the oil/temp/gas cluster installed. they have a silver back ground with orange needle and black numbers. However my tach has a black face/orange needle and white numbers so I am thinking about the same for my speedo.

 I'm open to suggestions, thanks!!

If you gut the Autometer and just trim the lip off the cup it will fit in perfectly, and appear almost stock, except for the orange needle.  

I like that it was easy to program, not hard to install, and still works!  Unlike several of my much more expensive Speedhut/Revolution gauges on my other project...

However I'm thinking they are going to cost some $$$$

I like them . Classic styling . Woundered if you can get them with built-in turn signal indicators , high beam , and so on .

The company does have custom options. I also seen that you have choices on the needles, colors, lighting.......however I didn't see that they offer a 4 inch speedo, bummer...

5" diam. maybe a little too big to fit inside the Z gauge pods . I've seen Autometers mount close to the outside of pods but don't know what size the others are using .
