hi all...

i got a new white 300km/h speedo kit from POLICE a few weeks ago and some niiiiice blue led clusters from 666DAN last week... came time to install them today and it works grrr8 :P very happy... calibrated the speed using my navman n its super :P until i decide to put the clear, plastic shield back over the cluster and then oh ohh... there is spray paint mist all over it! :D any ideas on how to get it off... ive tried soapy water... nail polish remover wit no luck... then came time for the turps... n it still didnt come off...

has anyone got any ideas on how to get it off? or perhaps do i have to find a new cover?

Where did you purchase the speedo and how much are they i am interested in buying one.

Post up a pick of the finished product, be good to see it.

Arrh ok it was a private sale, yeah i doubt he would have a stock pile lying around. Thanks mate.

get in touch with 666DAN... he supplied my blue led clusters for my dash and A/C and they look great...

i got hold of sum PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish stuff 2day from autobarn... did pretty well... took a while tho n i ended up using half the bottle if not more... but cant complain with the finished result... cost me $20- and a bit of work but its bettter then what it was...

here are the pics...

as you can see... the dash is perfect blue right under the diode clusters... im thinking about changing them... i like the blue clusters and the way they are arranged, i dont understand why they dont shine thru like you would think they would... the only part that "bothers" me as it were is near the fuel and temp guages... cant see sh*t... lol

Yep for the life of me can't understand why the cluster doesn't light up right? It's as if the light guides that you have in the back aren't directing correctly to the cutouts on the new speedo etc et maybe go back to the nice stock 180kph model :/

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
