dead32 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 white with blue led. please answear above post thanks, also i have another question, is it possible the change the colour of the needle seperatly to the cluster lights, i want blue cluster with red needle like my apexi el2 gauge.

Amec Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 See....i would think not....considering the 32 speedo drive is cable and not electronic.Explanation of how it will read 300???? If it really does read 300 ill gladly purchase. White for gtr thanks. yes the R32 cluster is indeed cable driven. we are currently working on the recalibration procedure and should have a solution soon. once we have sorted that out I will be able to get a design drawn up and posted on the forum.

Amec Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 CALIBRATION: the R32 being a mechanical speedometer drive, an additional unit will be required to be purchased to change the ratio of the needle movement. The unit will cost something like $150.

Cubes Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 wow just stumbled upon this!! White for me & GTST. Regarding the gtst's being mechanical... The signal is converted to an elec signal in the cluster and then sent to the ECU. Is there anyway to modify that signal there or impossible? A mob here in SA do the speedo ratio box's, apparently for ~$110 but will double check monday. Beale Instruments +61 8 8445 6644 I'll be needing the ratio box anyhow so its no biggy for myself.

skybarge Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 damn, i just stumbled upon this too, damnit i saw the 33 one a while back they look awesome I've got a GTS4 :S so same dials as GTS-t except the left hand side has a torque splitter in place of the boost guage(like GTR) are you able to do one for me in black?

skybarge Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 You could also do round 260kph kits or 240kph maybe? just add the numbers on after the 180? as I know my speedo goes way past the 180kph on the track let us know about the ratio box, what maximum speed is the ratio box designed for? that will determine the max speed on the speedometer for this kit.

Cubes Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 let us know about the ratio box, what maximum speed is the ratio box designed for? that will determine the max speed on the speedometer for this kit. The bloke said the max speed isn't an issue. BUT he would need a speedo example as to make the box up as its not adjustable. The other option is to have the speedo recalibrated which is $90. He seemed to think the speedo box wouldn't work; unsure why as demagnetising or magnetising the speedo is the same as changing the cable speed. He wasn't all that clear but from where I am I can't see why it most definitely wont. Maybe a Morning thing. lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/161930-r32-skyline-300-kmh-speedometer-cluster-kits-100-delivered/page/3/#findComment-3131473 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't all that clear but from where I am I can't see why it most definitely wont. Maybe a Morning thing. lol I have a spare R32 GTST cluster here that I can send down. What the instrument guy would need to do would be to recalibrate the ratio so that at the current 180 km/h mark, the speed reading is 300 km/h (or 320 whichever is easier) and then I would get the speedometer face designed accordingly. send me a PM if you are able to arrange this for us and I will send you the cluster.

Cubes Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I can get the speedo recalibrated at 300km/h or 320km/h depending on how you plan to space the numbers etc. He charges $90 to do so. Thinking more about the ratio box. Its definitely not going to work. It will work with respect to displaying the correct speed on the dash with the new faces BUT it will slow the odometer and incorrectly report the amount of km's travelled. So for our Mechanical R32 speedo's the ONLY way is to drop the cluster in to an instrument shop to be calibrated. PM me if your still interested in doing this... Postage costs etc etc it may be worth while finding a local bloke?

Amec Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 well our local instrument shop who is very good had the cluster for a couple of weeks but couldnt find a practical / inexpensive solution to the problem. I guess the way to go if we want to get this happening would be to leave it up to the individual to organise their own calibration with their local instrument shop? what do you think?

I'm fine with that. As we come across instrument shops within our own states it would help full for all of us to post their details. They appeared fairly certian that magnetising or demagnetising the speedo wouldn't affect the odometer.
