Great news!!!

Is there any chance you can send my first/ASAP?

I'll shout you a beer when you come down to Gold Coast later this year.

I just finish reinstalling the air conditioner system back on the car and left a few parts out waiting for your white face dial so I don't have to rip them off again.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeeee :P

thanks kezza

BTW how much did you pay for your big blue leds for the speedo? I checked autobarn, the small one are cheap but the large one for the dash are way too much for a led.

well im unsure dude, cause i made my led lighting b4 they even started to bring out pre fabed ones!

if you want the numbers to stay as bright, i would keep the original ones in, and add a blue led on each side of the needle post.

leds are one way, so you have to find the + side of each track that runs around the light fixture, when you look at the back of the dials were the plugs plug in and the lights screw into you will see off one of the plug tracks (ILL+) follow this track to find the +side of the lights you want to change,

The only problem i had with making my own is that the viewing angle of the les are narrow, and you have to point the led derectly at the plactic glass light catches around the dials!

I think the pre made ones have a better viewing angle of the leds so you wouldnt need to have them directly pointing. but hey it only cost me $5 to make one in total!

Like i said b4 i can make them up if people need them, i build them with resistors. but not with diod tho,

so as long as you can see the + side of the plugs they will work, if you dont and they will blow.

hit me up if anyone needs them, i knocked off a heap of light fixtures from the scrappers.,lol

Got my dial faces today woohoo :)

Now, it looks obvious that they have to be cut out, around the border is easy, but what is the easiest way to cut out all the holes, for needles, screws ect?

Ill give you a tip, dont cut the centre circles out fully, they are larger than the dial cover things.

Good on me for finding that out!

yay for you!

wanna come over and do mine?? lol

Ok, done them now.

there was some issues with the needle of the rev catching, but that was fixed. For the pins that the needles sit on, cut the holes large otherwise the paper sits up and the needle rubs.

On another note, they are good during the day, but I NEED new globes as the dash is damn dim. Also have to adjust it a little bit as the numbers underneath dont 100% line up, which is needed.

All in all, result is good, but still some issues.

Cheers Kez

Sounds like it's quite fiddly then, gonna wait till mum gets me some scalpels from work :(

I was actually thinkin bout how big the holes should be cut out, so it's the centre holes for the needles that have to be cut a bit smaller?

What about the rest of the holes, same size as what's printed?

Forgot to thank you, cheers kezza

A scalpel will be no good IMO. I did the first 2 holes with scalpels and they came out very...."sided"

I them starting using those scissors women use for the skin that covers your nails, they cut it off? Cuticles? They were great. Sharp, precise.

I need to find some brighter bulbs now.

Unfortunatly, the cyberstrok stuff 95% lines up with the lights underneath. For example, in the revs, the 5 is perfect, so is the 0, but the 2 and 3 are off by 1-2mm.... hmmm. I will see when i get brighter bulbs. Might get around to that this weekend?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
