i'm going to have to see them in the flash..that photo looks good but its hard to see it too well.

inasnt - you have them in yours? you coming on sat-day dyno thingabob? might have a look...

My dials are fine at night, but still, they could have cooler bits.

I've got an idea for something to try maybe way better for the lighting (no, not neon) but i'd have to pull it all apart first... hmmm!

sorry dragon18

i would help you but ur too fare away.

im waiting for an impul bodykit from j-spec in melbourn and need to get it to sydney, so maybe if you want to help me out i will help you out................

dragon ill help you

just did mine yesterday and it seems to be fine, what i did was pushed each needle clockwise to its 'maximum' and anti-clockwise to its other 'max' and then marked the two spots, then twisted it anti-clockwise past its maximum as i pulled up and the needle popped off, then i just stuck the EL face over the factory onewith double sided tape (not the thick stuff, regular sticky tape thin) and then put the needle back at the maximum it was at when i twisted it off, then i checked that the needle would move between these maximums and if it didnt i just adjusted it by turning it the amount required past the maxium until it was moving between the maximuums perfect, and with that theory everyrthing seems to be how it was, havent 100% checked the speedo yet but its definitely not way out as i went for a drive this morning and it felt like i nwas doing the speed on the speedo, are there any places who can cheaply just test to make sure calibration is ok ? coz if its a cheap cost to ensure it is i'd like to just get it checkd but im pretty sure its all sweet, looks ****ing awesome too :(

u r meant to take the black faced gauges off and replace em with the el ones!! Since u already took the needles off, its a piece of piss to take the black gauges off!

Pred

Yep i will there on sat, but u wont be able to see the backlight, in the sunlight.

nah its easier to double sided tape them, coz i left the regular light bulbs in the dahsh and with just the EL on it the light shines through and the blue doesnt look as good as u neeed the factory bulbs to light the odometer etc :D

u r also meant to take out most of the normal bulbs except the the warning lights! U cant see the odometer when the el light is on, but hey who cares doesent worry me! :(

    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
