Has anyone seen these? They look a lot like the Defi Imperial BF's. Anyone know where I can buy them from?





TRD SPORTS METER LINK SYSTEM

By linking the control unit with the tachometer, the boost gauge, oil temperature gauge, and water temperature gauge, this advanced electronic metering system not only provides the traditional metering functionality, but is equipped with a host of additional features as well.

Adoption of a specially designed stepping motor that maintains high accuracy across an extended range (2300 increments over a maximum sweep of 270¡) produces a slim-line meter that exhibits an extremely stable response.

A memory repeat feature that realistically reproduces vehicle operating states that have been committed to memory. A memory time of 40 seconds gives you more than ample time to check operating states under a variety of driving conditions.

As the engine starts, the lamps light up, the LEDs glow, and the needles dance, providing a thrilling initiation to your sports driving experience.
On-board self-diagnostic functions detect broken lines, short circuits, and transmission errors, allowing for quick repairs in the unlikely event of a malfunction.

The tachometer exhibits a white face to contrast with the black faces of the other gauges, and all meters and gauges sport the TRD log, giving the look of a truly sporty cockpit. What's more, the spherical lenses fit perfectly into the bezels for a stylish, refined appearance.

The tachometer has a diameter of 80 mm (compared to 60 mm for the other gauges) for greater visibility.

For the lighting, even-glowing LEDs that shed eye-pleasing, green-spectrum illumination are employed.

The first meter connects and provides power, making it easy to add meters. Simply connect the sensor line to the control unit, and run the line to the meter that you added.

The control unit and meters are equipped with microprocessors, allowing all meter operations to be controlled from a single control unit. This allows convenient operation of even remotely located meters.

 

Looks like a TRD Japan part.... and really pricey.... Doesn't look like TRD usa carries it...

 

no i saw these at my dealership.....but they are in a box for a tacoma...but they are the same gauges.....

 

yeah where can you buy them from? They look nice.

 

I found them online somewhere for around 1000 dollars... but can't find them today... all I find are TRD japan parts.

 

Wow major $$ though. I would like to see more info though.

 

wow $1000...nevermind.

 

Yeah, when I saw the price.... I was out quick...

FOUND IT

Sorry.... 1300.... Even more YIKES.

 

Here's the website:

http://trdparts.jp/english/parts_meterlink.html

I had a customer asking about them also.

 

That's the first site I found... and why I thought it was a TRD Japan part and not available from TRD usa....

Still looks insanely expensive..... unfortunatly

 

Yes, way too expensive. If I find someone here in the states w/ reasonable pricing, I'll let you know.

 

Would be sweet, besides the price point. JDM/TRD parts always good stuff, would be sweet for the TRD s/c.

 

Why not just get some other gauges and make custom faces that include the TRD logo? I haven't priced aftermarket gauges, so this was just a shot in the dark.

 

It is the fact that they have minimal wiring to the guages themselves as most of the wiring goes to a controller you can simply stash elsewhere. Plus you can just add more on with minimal effort. Nothing like it in aftermarket gauges.

there are other reasons too I am sure...just can't think of any right now...I am thinking too much of how much I want to kick the a$$ of our VP of sales at the moment for selling **** that we cannot supply!!! Sales dictates engineering and I hate it.

argh...sorry for the vent.

 

Defi makes guages like that, also autometer nexus are like that as well... with sensor boxes to piggyback guages... so the A/M has two cheaper and REALLY great options... (Not MUCH cheaper though)

 

oh.

well learn something new every day.

 

still the defi gauges are like 200 a gauge......i want the one with the full show sweep in the begining.....

 

Dang.. they are nice... too much loot though ... oh wait.. that was already stated.

 

I think Autobacs in Stanton has a few in stock....but dont hold me to it.

 

$850 for the Autometer Nexus, 6400 control module, 6453 Oil Pressure, 6455 Water Pressure, and 6456 Oil Temperature gauge.

Crazy.
