stock water and oil temp gauges

theDreamer

Stock oil temp gauge is fine, very accurate.
Stock water temp line gauge is a POS. It will sit in the middle on a wide range of temp and then run up quickly.

The reason people replace the oil temp gauge is because they are usually replacing the clock, and the triple gauge cluster in the 370z is a single unit so if you want one gone you need to do all 3 at once.

I agree with theDreamer - oil temperature gauge is pretty good; water temperature gauge is a POS. Water temp would be OK (not good, just OK) if it was a lot closer to linear and/or had some markings showing temp at that point. I don't know how accurate the oil temp is* but haven't seen any reports of it being off.

I have a ScanGuageII on the dash for monitoring water temp.

*Edit: The dash gauge agrees very closely with what the car is reporting to the ScanGuageII, but I don't know how close that is to the actual temp.

That is what it is called, scangauge II, was trying to remember what it was people were using to get a couple extra gauges easily.
