Has any one fitted white faced gauges to there car before? I have a R33 series 2 and on ebay you can pick up white faced gauges for $75 plus shipping. But the thing is how hard are they to fit? Is it something i can do myself? and has anyone done it before? also are the legal to have? (cos everything these days is illegal!)

Thanks

Adz,

I personally have white faced guages installed in my Series Two. To install:

1. Remove dash surround and remove dash cluster.

2. Unclip the front clear panel and expose the black bezel.

3. Remove bezel to expose guages.

4. The guage faces will have an enlarged center hole to slide over the needles... and sit over existing faces. For boost, you have to remove the tacho by unscrewing it from the back and pulling out from the front. The whole assembly should come out. (NOTE: DO NOT REMOVE NEEDLES)

5. Depending whether your faces are EL, remove all lighting bulbs except for warning lights and the one down the bottom right.

6. Again if EL, feed wires through where the bulbs used to do and hook up to 12 volt source (headlights)

7. Re-assemble and put back in.

8. You now have a sexy new dash.

Any more questions, give me a yell.

Cheers,

-Bman

ive got the white face for the dash cluster. but with mine its just all white and glows blue or green. it was a pain to put in because i had to take the needles off and it is a bitch to get them back on, spot on the right spot (adv to have a digital speedo and tacho).

but the rest was easy. just a mater of taking it apart, sticking them on, hooking up the wires, placing the dimer and back together again.

what will they fit in??

And also, these NISMO white faced gauges are 320kph and 11 grand tacho, as opposed to the stock 180kph and 9 grand tacho. Do you have to change cogs/gears at the back or somethin??

Sorry if this has been covered before, just wondering

Bman how much were your ones, and where did you get them ?

Alex_r33: They were about $90.00 + Postage

Josh: Im sure they do make them for the GTS's aswell, I got mine off ebay, have a look on there and try searching for EL GUAGES or similar and you should have some luck.

xtra.5: I didn't see the nismo guages until after I purchased these.... Should have waited a little while longer. :miner:

What if u just bought the whole instrument cluster? Would that re-calibrate it......i was thinking this, before when tossing up between the 320 vs 180 white faced dials. got the 180 cause seriously how often do u go above that. and on the drag strip u get told how fast u were going anyway! Plus personally i think they look better with just the middle lighting up and being able to jump between blue and green just by pressing a button.

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
