So I’ve just installed a boost gauge and now the rest of the cluster looks heaps outdated in comparison. I figured making a switch to LEDs in the cluster would help make things a bit nicer (the og bulbs are very dull anyway).

Are there any recommendations for some LED bulbs that would fit into the cluster without any major issues? I’ve done some looking and can’t really find much. I’m also assuming I’d need some with a diffuser to spread the light as well.

Thanks!

Millions available on eBay.  Some are great, some perhaps not so great.  Look for the traders with many many feedbacks and google them.  You will soon pick the good from the bad.

You will not need a diffuser.  Just buy a "kit" to suit exactly your car and it will take you half an hour to do.  Then another half hour to redo the ones you put in back to front.

There was a user on SAU called 666DAN that used to sell good dash LEDs. I bought a pair of him for my R33’s dash and they’re still running fine after all these years. 

Not sure if he’s still on here or sells them but perhaps you should PM him. 

What colour leds are you thinking of running in the dash? Be mindful of choosing a colour that is subtle to have on at night.

 

Mind the spastic tacho but got these blue ones off Wish for a few bucks, they don't all seem to work or maybe they just mind which way round they are but they just slot in where your old bulbs come out and there's enough in the pack to do your whole dash twice so just test em before ya go bolting your dash back together [emoji108]IMG_20181005_193732.jpeg1544764611522.jpeg

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
