What are the best, most accurate brand of shift tachometer gauge? I hear analog is always more accurately responsive than digital? I actually prefer a digital one, but accuracy is more important, Anyone have experience?

Why don't you use the one thats in the stock gauge cluster? Do you have an actual need for an aftermarket tach with shift light?

"u run 10s bruh?"

Just trying something new, like it in direct field of view instead of looking down

The car doesnt even rev high. A whole 7200RPMs. And powerband is high 6s anyway. There is no need for a massive one. Field of view? Turn on the auto beep on the shift light on stock cluster then...

Apparently the LFA gauge needed to be digital because the analog gauges couldnt keep up. Whether this is true or pure marketing is up for debate. Regardless, either is accurate enough.

So i've found something that caught my eyes after a whole lot of internet browsing: Blitz FLD tach hybrid

Yup, this is the one. Now just how to get past all that japanese instruction will be challenging for install.

Install is pretty easy for defi
I don't have a tach, but installed one for a friend on a R34
Just tapped into 2 wires behind the cluster
I imagine its close to being the same thing
