Hey buddy, if you read through the posts regarding this thread, look at one of the post made by myself... It gives a link for installation. Im installing mine myself, and for the power, im pretty sure its simple, just run the black negative wire to any metal on the car... With the positive, just connect it to your red wire on the cigarette lighter... Hope that helps...

dont plug it to the cigarette lighter, otherwise it'll light up all the time... you have to hook it up to a power line that goes on when you switch your lights on so it only lights up at night. if u have a boost gauge that lights up at night, use that wire.

Just got back from the post office, All sent! Look out in the mail tomorrow guys

Just letting you guys know there is a 3 month warrantee on the dials, but the warrantee will be void if they are incorrectly installed or damaged. So be careful when you guys are installing them

Thanks guys Daryl

Sorry guys theres no instructions with em, can't help ya out there, I did my dials myself and the ones you posted are pretty accurate and helpful, should be alrite. Again careful with the install, don't damage the dials else the warrrantee will be void

Thanks guys Daryl

Daryl, since you've installed yours already... What did u hook it up to? Do you just just slide these over the factory dials except for the boost gauge? Sorry for the quetions mate, just wana make sure. :P

mine werent exactly r33 dials, I drive a 180sx, so I dind't have a boost gauge dial, I hooked mine up to the cigarette lighter, bcoz at the time I didn' tknow where to hook it up at the back, after looking at that installation guide posted earlier I think I'll fix it up

Heres the one Mr_G posted earlier:

and the one pushead made:

For anyone that misses out on this group-buy contact me if you want to get one. Also, I can get the white dials for 180SX and a few other models for same price.

Also for melbourne buyers that want installation, I have a friend that will do very cheap.

thanks

Hey Mark, you'd know how to get the dash off pretty easy wouldn't you, having re-sprayed your dash?

You wanna do it sometime during next week after work?

Me too!

are we gonna get together to put these in Shane?

The holes look WAAAAYYYY to small to fit over the ends of the needles?

Are the needles gonna have to come off?

Just got my gauges delivered to me now....

awesome stuff. I had to see what they looked like right away so I just hooked em up to a 12 volt transformer and they look fantastic. And a neat little control pad that lights up to controls the brightness or the differn't shades of green or blue can be adjusted via this. Great group buy Daryl :)

    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
