    I need water temp, oil temp and pressure gauges, and after having cheap gauges fail on me before i want to get some decent ones.

    Of all the brands i reckon the greddy and apexi would fit well in a ae86 interior, and even the saber ones would look ok but know nothing about them.

    What are your opinions on these brands? For the money the greddy and apexi gauges would have to be freakin good quality for $250-300 each. The saber ones look half decent and are less than half the price at $120 each.

    All prices were sourced from modyourcar.com.au, so might be able to get them cheaper if i look around?

    Cheers.

    I'll give you my personal recommendation of Defi or Blitz having installed both. Greddy ones are great as well

    remember, you get what you pay for when it comes to gauges, like everything else

    my personal opinion is that Gready, defi, blitz....are all overpriced and not sure on the quality... (not bagging AJPS or anyone that sells/stocks them)

    i never buy anything other than VDO

    my dad is a marine electrician and has been buying and installing these gauges for like last 10years, and hasn't had a problem (i get a trade discount too!)

    the quality of VDO is excellent, they have PROPER catalogues of all their guages AND senders, with lots of information for picking the right one.

    anddd you can buy them from repco etc, just have to make sure the dude behind the counter can read numbers....
