I haven't heard of anyone been defected for having them in, as long as everything works correctly!

There pretty easy to install if your electronic/mechanically minded.

If not an auto elec will put them in for ya pretty cheap!

Cheers

Do not get them, the ones from ebay.

I think I had the same ones and the faces werent flat so the tacho would catch at 3krpm. Also annoying to install as you had to flip them into the needles and i stuffed up my water temp needle so now it reads higher than normal. Had it on car for 2 weeks couldnt stand it and took em out again.

I think there was a group buy on em for different ones (the cyberstork ones?) They were found to be flat and easier to install becuase of the cut in them.

In terms of installing its pretty easy. Taking out the dash and the guages etc..

So you're saying ur tacho woodnt rev past 3000 rpm cause it would get cought up in the uneven face?

So when you install them do u have to pull the needles off the tacho, speedometer etc pull then off the old face and stick on the new white ones? Wouldnt that put the speedo etc a bit off when u put the needle back on?

anyone know where to get a reliable dash kit like the one in the link above?

I have got the ebay ones... although different to those... mine didn't quite sit flat so we used a little contact adhesive just like the orginals and no probs!

As long as you make a note of where everything sits when car is at operating temperature it isn't hard to get it back into place. Speedo will start at zero so it can't really be out of whack!

There are nismo ones out there which are around $300 i think and apparantly you dont need to remove the needles to install... they are not el's though just white faced

Thats correct.

Nah I didnt take off the needles, I slide them in.

I didnt use adhesive, because in the back of my mind I knew I would get over them in a few weeks, and I did :)

GB Section might have some cyberstork ones.

But seriously Just get some blue or white bulbs and replace the standard bulbs. Looks better IMO. I got tired of the EL Dials, Stock is better. :(

      By sammi_d · Posted

      The end of 2024 fast approaches!!! So before the 'storm' hits, we think it's worth enjoying a little 'calm'! How better to enjoy some calm with a chill social out at Aqua Golf! So without any ado, here are the details: Date: Saturday 26th October 2026 Location: Aqua Golf - Penrith Panthers Time: 5:00pm Map: http://tinyurl.com/saunsw-aquagolf All you need to do is bring yourselves down to Penrith Panthers to come and say "HI", hang out, and maybe hit a few golf balls at the drive range. Who knows where the night may take us... What we do know is that there are plenty of food options available at the Penrith Panthers complex. For those of us keen to hit a few golf balls, prices start from $7.00 a bucket. Aqua Golf is open til late, so we have plenty of time to have a few hits and laughs with each other! This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks all! Looking forward to seeing you all there!

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      50L plastic butcher's bins with or w/o lids are good for storing various parts and smaller boxes of part on shelves. I've taken to writing a manifest on blank paper in texta and sticking it on the front of any such box, whether it is that sort of tub or just a cardboard box. Ditto to smaller boxes inside. I can not give you ideas on how to be more ruthless or better organised than that, because I suspect that my shed is worse than yours.

      KISLOC2 line output convertor for subwoofer in Q50/V37

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      i have 2 MTX thunder amps they do have the line input aswell but i have no idea where the connectors are to use. so for ease of being able to run 2 sets of RCA leads im just using the convertor.

      By sonicii · Posted

      The existing factory sub feed should already have a sum of L+R and a low pass filter, so it probably isn't necessary to take another L and R feed from the HU.  If it didn't have a factory sub output, then that would be the best option though. Does your new amp not have speaker level inputs?  that would eliminate the need for the speaker - line level converter completely.
