R32 Luminus dials??? anyone getting em from here???

[funkymonkey]

i can organise custom ones to be made up, but I need 10 ppl to put their hands up and their money out.

[akeenan]

would the costing be into the hundreds like all the others. i cant really justify spending this amount for a couple of bits of plastic.. but if its not

[funkymonkey]

it'd b from www.speedhut.com

[pushead]

i want the Dash Gauge Bezels for the R33 from that website. I think it will look mad. Unfortunately they don't have any for Skylines. any chance FM you can organise these instead?

those look insane, I was contemplating getting a batch made up thru a mate of mine who can do custom cut brushed aluminium pieces for dirt cheap. All he'd need is sum1's gauge to butcher (or one that don't work)

[KamikazeR33]

funky it sounds good to me if u can get a good price on some EL's

and some brushed aluminium pieces around the dials would be sweet

any idea if he can do the dash surround in brushed aluminium aswell?

[KamikazeR33]

also funky, any idea if u can get some of their gauges cheap aswell?

[funkymonkey]

er... i was just sayin sumfin bout the bezels... the gauges are made in the US by some company i got no ties to... i was just givin an example

[KamikazeR33]

oh ok

when i mean the dash surround i dont mean the bezels, i mean like round the stereo etc etc if u know what i mean?

bezels would be nice..... id be willing to give u my cluster if we could work out a time etc etc

[pushead]

im in for the bezels!!!!

[funkymonkey]

OK since you bishes want rice so much I've just put in a request for the following EL gauges to be made (with SAU monograms on them that light up n shit, we'll work out the design later)

The models I'll be gettin em made up for are:

HCR32

BNR32

ER33

ECR33

I've jsut sent an order request to an EL manufacturer I know, and hopefully they'll send me back prices, minimum units, options, colours etc etc.

As for bezels, I've let my mate know, he sed he'll find out and let me know next week sometime

[funkymonkey]

Hopefully if all goes to plan I'll have the gauge diagrams for those 4 models from japan soon (depends on if one of the guys in japan actually gets my email and goes n buys it for me). Once I have those, I'll do a lil bit of customising with logos n stuff, then send em off to the manufacturer, who will then convert em to EL gauges.

mind you we are going direct to manufacturers and that means that we need numbers, deposits, commitment etc etc, you guys know the drill. Also it might take a while to get em all done, so don't bytch n moan about the timeframe

If y'all are cool witht hat then I'll do it.

[KamikazeR33]

yeah im in

[hippy]

how much are we lookin at? since i've seen some made in japan that only cost like 40 bucks but i dont' know if they are EL .. i assume not ... and then the ones u get in the shop is like 250 bucks ...

[KamikazeR33]

also r these still gonna be 180km?

[funkymonkey]

hippy spot on... i'm actually tryin to get the templates they sell for $40 there and then convert em to EL thru this company i know. The sheets you buy in japan are non EL, they're just normal laminated white slip ons. But they'll make great templates for the EL sheets.

I was thinking about the speed, I think it can be easily made to go up to 240 sumfin.

[akeenan]

depending on the price and the design im in but i need 2 extra holes

funky, if the speed is gonna go past 180 then i hope the scale of the orig speedo isnt going to change.... just to make things easier for everyone

do u think we can just add some more onto the end, keeping the same scale? cos i cant think how much more room we have off the top of my head

[hippy]

i dont' know if the standard speedo can do anything over what it shows .. i doubt it though .. i mean u have to squash the range from the original 180 through to 240 .. thats an extra 30% ...

[KamikazeR33]

so looks like we might have 2 only go upto 180

then put "bloody fast" afterwards cos like hell u will know the exact speed
