updated cluster arrived

with the newer model cluster - caps arent in the cluster... theyre condoms over the globes... so peeled them off... then decided to put my phillips ultravision artic globes in

turned it on

ba bow... bright fkn green

its the green on the dials... the mrs is doing OT at work today so shes trying the turps thing... i cant see how it will work as there doesnt seem to be a non green layer on the dials...

so now were all back to the same dilema - how to get the white!

the g/f here :(

got half of it done today whilst at work with a razor and turps :happy:

just an idea .. it's never going to come out 100% white as the plastic backing has a slight green tinge ...

another option if your after something INTERESTING is by sticking some clear coloured contact to the back .. ie pink / blue / purple / bla bla bla !

also the orange needles can be made into clear by simply turpsing off the coat of white/orange !

found out from a mate there is a gauge place here in adelaide near my gfs... his mate had his gauges reprinted

so might see if they can reprint the front part of mine onto clear sheet... or white... i thought it would be harder but supposedly these guys can do it

also gonna change needles to red also!

doesnt the newer model cluster conflict with the speed sensor? i know it's got that cable driven thing in the back.

i was having trouble with my cluster. PFC wasnt reading speed, and got told to change to another one from the same model, i was also told that the later model ones dont work nor do the RB25DE clusters.

works fine

only thing not working in my new cluster is fuel gauge... either due to incompatability or just broken gauge from japan (prolly reason why the guy was selling it lol)

waiting on my callback about reprinting these dials... im thinking itll be 500+

Phwoar $500+? that's a bit of money just for some white illumination...

I was thinking more along the lines of scanning the cluster dials (with a decent scanner), slight modification of the image on the computer, then go down to a sticker shop and have it printed as a vinyl sticker. Put the sticker on a piece of white acrylic.

    • I'll tell her I put in a new air filter on it, which, it would have anyway with the ITB's In the end she isn't to fussed, she spends lots of money on hair, nails, make-up and all the other "required" beauty products that women use, plus I grease the wheels with shiny gifts and holidays wherever and whenever I can She once questioned my car spending "budget", but after itemising everything she spends on herself, and what I spend on her, and the fact that I don't care if she does or doesn't wear make-up and fancy pants perfume, or requires new outfits for every wedding, funeral or anything else she deems worthy, and I'm quite happy to go "real" camping, instead of staying in hotels or jaunts on cruise ships, she decided not to press the subject on how I spend funds, and has never asked "how much did that cost" again, so a win to me And how often can you say you really get a win with the fairer sex? She is a good woman, and in the big picture, I'm really lucky.....that she hasn't killed me yet
    • What will you do when the Minister of War and Finance says the intake noises are too loud?
    • Will the clear coat dissolve the ink tho?? I thought about clear vinyl tape too. Thinking what to do haha. The one I have now is cracked in 1 spot, otherwise mint. Plus the MINES one is much thicker plastic material so its not flimsy at all.
    • No. Go a different colour, and just trim it at an edge line. Even manufacturers do different panels different colours etc.
    • I see no real downsides to ITB's, apart from the initial cost of my drive in drive out lifestyle, the "upsides" is they sound cool and would add lots of smiles I am willing to pay to play for the extra smiles I've spent the morning googling and youtubing the BBR ITB's, a "little" extra power and throttle response, but alot more dort, and really, I'm only really in it for the dort Who knows, after all this money is spent I might even make 150kwatw....LOL
