I just finished putting my NSX back together after replacing headgaskets and refreshing the motor. I'm happy to say it hasn't exploded yet
While everything was apart, I decided to install a Defi ZD multi-display. I like knowing my oil and water temps, and oil pressure, but also wanted to stay away from a trio of gauges like I once had in my S2000.
The Defi gauges are very attractive, but I've grown into liking a more clean and oem look for my street cars, especially the NSX. The Defi ZD gauge is an all in one package, and is much more compact.
The ZD still isn't something I wanted to just mount on my dash, so I found my perfect place for it; behind the radio screen. I originally gutted the stock Bose headunit since it died anyway, and just kept the face in the car to maintain the original layout. The ZD screen size fits well behind the radio lens.
Also, some pictures of the sensor locations. Oil pressure spliced from the OEM oil pressure gauge unit, and routed to the firewall. Oil temp from a cedar ridge baffled oil pan. Water temp from an adapter in the coolant engine out line.
Hope you guys enjoy the idea and pictures. Thanks for reading.
