Autometer Nexus Guages

[Zefhix]

Has anyone else seen the new Nexus guages from Autometer? You can see a video demo of them on their website. They don't show the whole array of gauges that are available but it sounds like it is going to cover quite a few.

Has anyone seen them in real life ? If they are as nice in real time as they are on the site they have me as a new follower after almost losing me to Koso for guage choices.

I got a full demo at SEMA last year and I was pretty impressed. The guages are built on the same "daisy-chain" platform you see with the Defi guages. They are the ones we're using.

I remember walking by them now . There wasn't too much going on and the guages were on the rainbow color rotation thing and it looked so ricey that it turned me off and I just didn't get past my first impression enough to wait around for the full demo , but now I wish I had.

I also didn't remember seeing any speedometers or tach's with the same display style. Did you remember them from the demo ?

They look a lot more to my liking in the video clip of them than what I remember in person and some things take time to grow on me when they are so new.

The best feature of them is the red warning change of color at what you preset it to be , I don't think I would miss seeing that and the playback at different rpm levels could be very useful info if you are having problems.

The one thing that makes most all of the guage info redundant is the Gen 7 DFI playback capability. Some guages for temp purposes seem like the best reason to go the Nexus way. No matter which one I go to for info I have to have the laptop so it would be convenient to have both.

So now I have to find a shop with a demonstration unit to see and play with them. I'm still interested in the impression others have of these.

I didn't think I was going crazy , now I know I didn't miss what wasn't there.

I,m looking forward to seeing them when they come out. Keep us posted if you get wind of any more info about what is available for choices than what is at the website.


Thanks , Jim Nilsen

Sweet I was looking at those too and didn't see any tach or speedo, but 3 3/8".....WEAK! 5" would seal the deal for me.
