Gauges Question

I'm definitely thinking about getting nitrous very soon. I've spent the last month reading the stickies & going back 3-4 months to read old threads.
I'm probably going to run a Zex Wet Kit w/ a 50 shot or (possibly) the NY-Trex kit becuase it is less money.
I plan on getting 3 gauges:
1. Fuel Pressure Gauge
2. Nitrous Pressure Gauge
3. EGT Gauge

My main question is where should get these from? I want quality gauges, but I don't want to spend an arm & a leg to buy them?
Thanks.

yeah, ebay or used goods. Otherwise, outside of cornerlights, taillights, intakes and y-pipes, don't look for any mods to be cheap. Modding cars is not a cheap hobby.

as for the gauges themselves, just go to egauges.com and get yourself some autometer gauges. They have good prices and fast delivery. I got my gauges and mounts from them and have absolutely no complaints. Now if only my Safeguard would get here yesterday...

btw, you need more than just 3 gauges + kit to make nitrous a reliable add-on to your Maxima. A bottle heater is a requirement too, otherwise you're nitrous pressure gauge will only serve to taunt you. Also a window switch or a controller of some sort.

Thanks. I'm aware of the bottle heater and the window switch. I was seeing if I could save a few bucks on the gauges.

I just got the OBX FPR from Ebay, and it has the guage on it. You really don't need much for the 50 shot. As long as you have a solid running car, adding a 50 is no problem.
