5th Gen Gauges

Hey maxima.org,

What's everyone here running for gauges (AFR, oil pres, etc)?

What brand, where did you place them, and how do you like your current setup? How were the gauges for accuracy?

I have an AEM UEGO Wideband with the gauge and I'm contemplating switching to a Prosport Blue/White setup consisting of AFR/volts/oil pressure, mounted below my deck in a single DIN gauge pod.

Has anyone run a setup like this?

Thanks!

Honestly I wouldn't even waste your money on gauges unless you have something to monitor... Air/fuel ratio, Oil pressure and volts????? Already have sensors for all these things so you don't need a gauge to tell you they're okay...Gauges should be for useful things like boost, nitrous , temp .. Don't need gauges to monitor LED's and Subwoofer speakers.... Of course thats just my opinion and everyone's gonna do what they like which is what matters so if you do decide on gauges try and buy ones that actually have functionality.

I have some sort of issue with my 03 maxima as well. I was on a drive out of town, and the suddenly shut off, I tried to start the car again, it started and shut off again, it happened few times, but I could not be able to move the car. I checked the fuel, the fuel gauge was showing there was still 1/4 tank of gas. Though I had to tow the car to mechanic, and found out I was out of gas but the gauge was still showing 1/4 tank full of gas.
I was told something wrong with the fuel sending unit, have to replace the whole, around $700. Though I came across one person selling the complete sending unit. I bought that one, I got it installed, but the problem persists. I got in touch the person I bought the sending unit from he told me that it was working when he sent me that. He told me to take the sending unit out, and try to move the float up and down and see how the cluster and look at the fuel gauge, and I was really amazed when I did that the fuel gauge was working fine. I installed the sending unit back into the tank.
But
I still have the same issue, the gauge move/functions fine, and as soon as it comes near to the 1/4 level, it doesn't come down to show me the accurate amount of gas in the tank, so I have to keep the tank nearly full all the time to avoid break down.
so the question is, has anyone come across this issue, what one has done to correct it. any advice for me, so that I can get it done at reasonable budget!!!

Yeah, no, they're not really gauges, but they work just like gauges. Haven't seen any data loss thus far since I don't surf teh pr0n while I'm logging...usually
