Question From A New R34 Owner

[Dan GT-T]

Hi there, I've decided to sell my 300zx and just bought a nice black R34 GT-T. I must admit the R34 rides beautifully.

I do have a question however, as I couldn't find the answer when i did a thorough search of the forum.

one of my gauges above the A/C vent is very faint, so I believe I may have blown a globe. I was just wondering what is the easiest way to remove these gauges so I can replace the globe? does anyone know of a link to a tutorial or website or could explain to me how this is done?

Your help would be much appreciated.

regards from a proud skyline owner,

Dan.

its what 10 yrs old .. its just an infant lol.

Anyways .. You need to pull out the back of the gauge cluster sorts of bend it, use some force it wont break.. this will push forward the aircon vents carfully get your fingers or a tool inbetween the aircon vent and pull it out, disconnect the cable running to it.

You will now see two screws holding either side of the cluster remove these and then the whole thing will slide out disconnect the cable, spin it around and you will see the globe holders turn one way and it will come out ..

Replace in the reverse direction minus popping the gauges.

while your doing that look up DIY cosmetic enhancement on the dash bits.. requires metho meling the paint off and respraying.. because youll learn pretty quick how crap that paint is!
