Prosport gauges - Anyone running them?
Hi, looking at updating the trie gauge cluster and possible adding gauges. Has anyone use their premium line of gauges? Offer a nice selection, price isn't too bad compared to AEM or Innovate.

Before you get too excited, please realize that the z does not have individual gauges. All three of the gauges that we have are all basically gauge faces in a single circuit board. It's not as simple as take it out/put it in

I've seen others on here replace them, but I've never done it myself.

I'm currently doing it with Defi gauges but I don't have a garage so it's slow work. If you do decide to go this route do yourself a huge favor and get in touch with member Scope22. He makes a bracket for this that will make your life infinitely easier

I used STRI's DSD SLM gauges they were fantastic. You can get them in a blacked out face with an amber color that likely looks factory, and they have the startup ceremony like factory. They also have a shallow mounting depth, which is always helpful.
Quick search of what they look like (not my vid) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl4dtDARe5I They're basically Defi replicas. I ended up with STRI over Prosport after friends having issues with Prosports. They had zero issues for literally a decade. |
I used those on my old motorcycle and I really liked them. I had a Voltmeter, Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature and Vacuum gauges. They worked well until the mice got to the wiring below the gas tank...:)

I currently run the prosport JDM 52mm with digital and analog readout. It's a relatively simple install but it involved courage on the level of getting shot and pulling the bullet out on your own then stitching yourself up and your only tools are a bottle of vodka and a Gerber multi tool. This is because I gutted the OEM guages out from the top instead of removing the dash.
Here's a video of the 60mm JDMs I had before. The 52's fit the OEM bezel alot better and I decided to swap back. I've gone through the Tanabe VLS, ProSport Halo and Prosport premiums and the JDMs were where I stuck. https://youtu.be/q9wSIGJcmv0 |
Probably tomorrow, i will make a video of installing 52mm gauges with oem silver bracket, just for funzies...

52s install much better because they fit perfectly in the bezel.

Why would one remove the dash to do the same? Can you hollow out just the OE clock and place an aftermarket gauge there or will doing so screw up the other two? |

Looking to pull the trigger on a 52mm Oil Pressure gauge and finding lots of negative reviews about the STRI units.
