I am definitely interested in having the Nav display work as a gauge cluster like the GT-R!

I'm currently looking at the Defi ACU with their ZD screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEgFDWxu5fU Last edited by Aviator44; 08-14-2014 at 05:53 PM. |

I'm actually already almost done. Ran into the problem with the factory oil cooler since mines a 2012 But I got around it. Nearly done, vacuum lines and fuel pump, plus reflash the ecu is all that's left now. Before I started the kit though, I did my z1 motor/tranny mounts, headers, clutch and flywheel so that's was fun on jack stands haha. That was the hardest parts of the whole build. The BP kit is the easier part.

The interface/program is as shown above, it's unique to the manufacturer. I am told this will work with OBD2, but the information displayed is slower than using dedicated sending units.

It is if you use sending units like you would for normal gauges. It's only the OBD2 that is slower. How much slower? I don't know. I would do sending units for the "critical" readings, and OBD2 for the "secondary" readings.

What architecture is the controller module? ARM, x86? Is it just software and we provide our own controller like a Pi or Arduino?

It's a complete system, you can configure the sending units for your needs at the time of ordering. It normally comes with the 4.3" LCD but I'm looking into having this interface with the factory Nav too. I don't know what the architecture is. If this is more than you need, you can do two readings per "page" on a 1.7" OLED screen that will fit in a 52mm housing.

Everything sounds great Gale! But when it comes down to it, what would you consider a baseline for the gauges being that it's going to be so customizable, turn out time possibly and prices? I do not mean to be rude in anyway about this but our cars do cost a good penny to upgrade haha. I'm definitely interested, also interested in possibly doing defi gauges where the oil, volt and clock are. In my own opinion is to keep the car looking stock as possible so that to the untrained eye, you would not suspect boost.

Personally I didn't see a need to go the extravagant route of having a screen with "pages" of readings. I simply put it out there as an option, some people are interested so I'm looking into it further for them. You can't get anymore stealth if this can be integrated with the factor nav screen. The forum members need to decide a good base line, or get a group that is committed to buy (with deposits), the gauge(s) they want with the reading(s) they want so we can make a big order and get a better deal on pricing. If people are serious, we can move on to the next step, pricing and lead time. There are a lot of options out there if you want to replace the triple gauges, get three 52mm gauges of your choice, install them, enjoy. You'll love the Defi gauges, they are a quality, well made product. I was looking for options for the people that don't want to remove the triple gauges, or just want more readings in general, or want to have their choice of readings in one gauge.
