EL luminous instrument cluster kits

[funkymonkey]

try this mob... www.speedhut.com they're willing to make em if you send em a gauge to base one on, and you can get 20 people to buy em. I asked em, and they agreed to use cyberstork templates instead of gauges. however they count the GTSt's n GTR's as seperate designs.

Sometimes u see them on ebay, saw a white faced on on there which lights up blue for a R33 and it had $150 on it!

Well I'm interested as much as I shouldn't be.

Reverse indiglo.

You guys come up with a custom design and present here for vote?

Is there any difference between the R32 GTS-t and GT-R dials besides the torque split?

[funkymonkey]

yeah the holes where the gauges sit on the cluster are different. So you can't place a GTR EL cluster onto a GTSt cluster.

Also if you make holes for both the EL will look bad because of random holes in the center of the RPM gauge.

[funkymonkey]

also you'll notice there's a clock missing on the GTR cluster

[lwells]

Ok, well scratch that idea. So we would need to get 20 x GT-R and 2 x GTS-t, plus perhaps some R33 dials if there is enough interest...

Edit: There is also the three centre console dials to think about. Urgh.

Has anyone got a spare set of dial faces from a R32 GTS-t and an R32 GT-R?

BUMP.

I have posted a request in the WTB section. If I can get the dial faces organised I will contact SpeedHut and arrange for them to be shipped so we can get a group buy going.

Are any R33 guys interested?

hey lw, they already have the R32 GTSt dial face and the R33 GTSt dial face that I parcel posted to em in the US.

Oh, sweet, so we only need a set of GT-R dials then.

Just to add to my previous post, my thinking is this: we get all the relevent dials to them, then get them to setup relevant pages on their model development section (http://www.speedhut.com/15orders.asp). That way we don't have to worry about collecting money and converting it, etc, etc.

Once the pages are up we can setup (ie. advertise) the group buy through SAU and SDU. Only problem I see is shipping -- it might be easier (read: cheaper) to get them all shipped in one batch to Australia and then redistribute rather than having SpeedHut send invidual packages.

Thoughts/comments/suggestions?

sorry if this has been asked before...

but can you get the EL gauges for a R34 GTT?

Well we could always send some R34 gauge faces to SpeedHut with the R32 GT-R ones, but I am not sure there would be enough interested. Having said that, there are a lot more R34 GT-Ts in New Zealand, so the SDU guys might be able to make up the numbers.

The only problem would be getting a set of the dial faces.... Any suggestions?

[DarkCoupe]

I dont even have my GTT yet so I cant help... but I am keen on gettin a set of EL gauges made ... anyone else here interested??

[funkymonkey]

hmm maybe I could send the busted ones that one of my mates has at his spare parts shop lol.

/me looks at the R34 GTt gauge he was tryin to fit on his R32... hmmm

[lwells]

Are the actual gauge faces busted in anyway, or the dials themselves?

LW.

[funkymonkey]

electricals are busted, I'm tryin to fix one using my rudimentary VCR repairing electronic skills

Well I am happy to send it over to SpeedHut if you/your friend don't mind.

BTW, did you get my email?

LW.

[funkymonkey]
