60mm series was launched in November, 2022. The lineup is the same as for Φ52. Low-reflection glass is used for 60mm gauges. The Φ80 tachometers have also changed to the low-reflection glass and are now available under new part numbers.
Both Φ60 and 80 series are produced in limited quantities. The Φ52 will also be available in limited quantities from now on.
(November 25th, 2022)

The gauge diameter is 52mm, 60mm, and 80mm tachometer. Turbo 200kPa, intake manifold pressure, oil pressure, fuel pressure, oil temperature, water temperature, exhaust temperture, and tachometer are lined up.

The illumination color is green and warm white. The two colors can be switched. The brightness is turned down to make a nostalgic mood.

Nippon Seiki’s NS logo is printed on the dial face instead of Defi logo. It’s because the NS logo used to be printed on our OEM gauges.

The needle pointer is white while the illumination OFF and red while the illumination is ON.

One ADVANCE Control Unit operates up to 7 gauges or displays in total.

*Defi-Link ADVANCE Control unit SE/ADVANCE Control unit(sold separately) is necessary to operate RS gauges.

*Defi-Link Meter ADVANCE RS is expressed as ADVANCE RS or RS gauges.

Warning

The product of Defi-Link ADVANCE SYSTEM cannot be connected with the product of Defi-Link SYSTEM. It is not compatible with the product of Defi-Link SYSTEM. Sensors are common in ADVANCE system and Defi-Link System except turbo sensor, but sensor wires are not common.
Defi-Link ADVANCE Control Unit/SE is necessary to operate ADVANCE gauges.

Features

Design matches well with Japanese vintage cars with nostalgic features.

The night illumination color is switchable between classic green and classic white(warm white)

Interactive communication advanced system is implemented. What is ADVANCE System?

Gauges can be controlled from distance with the included switch unit.

Flat glass and precise graduation scale give more needle accuracy and high visibility.

Low-reflection glass is used for Φ60 and 80.
(Φ52 is regular glass., Φ80 is low reflection glass only for models after November 2022)

Opening and closing modes can be selected from 2 variations.

The installation of additional gauges is easy. Just connect it with the other two gauges and attach the wire to Advance Control Unit.

The light-emitting gauge always provides clear visibility with high contrast.

The needle pointer driven by original stepping motor has a smooth instantaneous response to rapid acceleration of high performance vehicles.

The microcontroller calibrates up to 270 degree angle in 3027 – 4600 segments (0.088°- 0.059°), and provides accurate vehicle information.

Self-diagnosis system turns the warning LED on to indicate any wire disconnection, short circuit and serial communication errors.

Warning by buzzer sound when the warning LED is on (buzzer sound can be turned on / off).

●Peak　●Warning

*The picture is ADVANCE BF.

Peak value and warning value during driving are stored. Driving data can be stored and replayed up to 3 minutes.

A mounting bracket, meter cup, regular position bezel are provided with this product.

With both fuel pressure gauge and turbo installed, differential pressure can be monitored on the fuel pressure gauge screen.
