    This is the new setup Im playing with. This defi display lets me read oil pressure and temp, water temp, fuel pressure and exhaust temp. I have the boost still in a traditional gauge on the pillar to make it easier to see while driving.

    Nice thing is that I can monitor all of these sensors without cluttering up the dash with ugly gauges. It has an audible alarm and you can set each of the sensors to alarm at any point. Whilst stopped at the lights it will flick through each sensors readings, whilst driving you can set it to stay on whatever you like. So far Im quite happy with it.

    BTW anyone recommend a good Aus supplier for genuine nissan parts? I need a few bits and pieces.

    Hopefully Drokk might see this and post up some pics of the Ruzic Engine monitor in his car. Total cost for it was just on $1000 fitted and has 17 channels that can be set to monitor basically anything you want. His is set to monitor Coolant temp, oil temp, oil pressure, boost pressure, intake temperature and battery volts. It has an audible alarm and warning lights that light up differently depending on the severity of the fault. It also has 2 stage shift lights.

    The thing I liked about it was just being able to drive the car and not having to keep looking at the guages because if any thing went wrong it would send the buzzer and lights off. Takes alot of stress out of driving your big dollar engine around.

    For any further info on it send me a pm and I will put you in contact with the supplier.

    Sounds good.

    Does the Ruzic monitor take its' inputs from the ECU ?
