I am becoming inpatient waiting on the new Autometer Sportsman unit. Does anyone have any insight into using a Racepak dash?

I don't. But here's a link to my favorite, unaffordable gauge panel for the SLC. Recent changes in the Yen/Dollar rate make it much more affordable than a few years ago, though.

However, it is JDM only, and there is no support outside of authorized Japanese dealers. And the instructions it does come with are in Japanese.

I thought about using it anyway, and trying to mitigate some of the risks, as I think it is otherwise the perfect gauge for the SLC.

Actually, I'm not even sure it is still a current product, as the site is all in Japanese... but it is way cool, and fits in the driver's binnacle perfectly.

Defi is pretty big in the import world.

use the ETB digidash ... you know, the setup the dash was molded around originally.

Slow day at work so I did some internet searching. Looks like this cluster went out of production a few years ago. Not sure if you can still purchase one as I couldn't find one online.

I contacted ETB yesterday asking if I could buy just the datalogging unit as it is missing from my parts. They replied saying that I could not just buy the datalogger box itself (I have every wire though) and I would have to buy the whole thing again as they couldn't sell separately.
I politely replied that I had no interest in investing in their products since if I did have a problem with a new system, I would not be able to buy parts for it to fix it. Awaiting reply. Hogwash they can't sell individual parts to their own systems!

I'm planning on using the AIM MXL unit.
