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.

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.

regardless of what colour LEDs you install in your cluster, the needle always illuminates red.

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.

wow just stumbled upon this!! :kiss:

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.

I'll be needing the ratio box anyhow so its no biggy for myself. :P

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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?

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. What are your thoughts? :S

guess we will just have to suck it and see.

now that the calibration is out of the way, I will get some design pics posted here in the next few days.

    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
    • To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
