White Faced Gauges

[Adz2332]

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

[alex_r33]

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

[are33]

i am after a set of these for my car but they only make them for GTS-T's =[

i COULD put the GTS-T ones in my car, but that is major wank factor concidering it will have the turbo gauge there... and no needle...

You pulled the rear globes out! Your needles don;t light up anymore

[ranicx]

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.

nismo white face gauges is so much better then those cheap light up ones

what will they fit in??

[xtra.5]

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]

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.

Cheers

[alex_r33]

man they look awsome!!!! specially at night!

I want some!!!!

[RB20JT]

So do you have to recalibrate your speedo with the new gauges or not?

[Acer]

You would think so, considering the 320km/h is in the place that 180km/h is.

[series2r33]

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.
