R33 instrument cluster LED swap

So I’ve just installed a boost gauge and now the rest of the cluster looks heaps outdated in comparison.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

      Short shifter r34

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
