Defi Wiring and sensors

[Tophler]

Is anyone aware of where to get defi wiring and sensors from?

 

[CANDEE]

PRO-Speed Racing are the AUS Distributor or you can get them from RHD Japan. Dont expect either option to be cheap though..

Bugger, thanks mate

No worries Alex, I have found sometimes its almost cheaper to buy the new gauges rather than getting second hand guages then having to buy the sensors kits and cabling separately.

The only reason why I didnt do this was that I bought the original series gauges as I didnt want BF's, but now you can buy both styles brand new. I am also lucky I did buy the new sensor kits as I run Display's rather than gauges.

If I could justify it id buy the new zd advance and replacement boost gauge...

Only reason I didn't get new is because you can't get the ralliart din units new, it comes with water temp, oil pressure and boost so I need to track down some wiring and sensors to suit. Guys at pro speed racing are away till the 24th of jan so I can't track anything down till at least then.

Also I had a look on pro speed's website but couldn't find the sensors to suit my gauges, might have to give then a call when they get back

 

[CANDEE]

Which ones are you looking for? I can get around the defi site reasonably well... lol

Sorry for the late reply. I got the din mount gauge set so it has water temp oil pressure and boost. Basically I need everything to make the gauges work so cables sensors and anything else

Hmmm slightly off topic, but my defi gauge started jumping around all over the place (the needle, the gauge didn't grow legs). Anyway, does anyone know if this is likely to be the gauge or the sensor? I reckon the sensor....

If it this one:

It will be the below list:

I cant seem to find one that has boost on it as you mentioned...

Check the wire to the sensor and the control unit. It could be a loose connection somewhere or a leak to the sensor.

Single standalone gauge, wiring and hoses are ok.... Powers up fine, just the needle w I'll jump all over the full range irrespective of what the engines doing.

Reason you can't find the one with boost is it was a limited edition ralliart one. They don't sell them anymore so hopefully it won't be too hard to find the parts

My Billion gauge was doing something similar, it would jump to much higher than actual temps and eventually sit on 127 (8 bit max?). It turned out to be a loose ground or sensor wire that caused it.

 

[TME_Steve]

Yeah it's like an electrical contact, in that it moves so much hmmm

 

[CANDEE]

Ive seen it before in some gReddy gauges that had dodgy wiring to the sensor.

I have to say I am not impressed in the slightest with prospeed racing. I have sent them 3 emails regarding the parts i need and i have not received a response. I called the guy up yesterday and he finally answered after trying to call him for about 2 hours, he then proceeded to answer the phone with "hello" i asked if this was prospeed racing and he said "yes". sounded like he didnt wanna help me at all and couldn't care less.

So when he finally answered he told me to send him an email. Well i did, i sent him a 4th email at midday yesterday and still no response. FFS, if there was someone else who dealt with defi then I'd go there, stuff prospeed.

Hit up either Mac @ 41 Automotive - mac@41.co.nz or Alex at Moonlight Racing - sales@mlracing.co.nz.

Both of them can get Defi bits, and both are great to deal with. They both will be happy to send stuff to Aus if need be.

Thanks Jeremy, greatly appreciated
