I did mine a long time ago as well and just REMEMBER TO BE CAREFUL WHEN TAKING OFF THE NEEDLES. ย 

It is expensive and a real headache to get your gauges recalibrated - pay the little extra to get it fitted by a professsional

man not another thing i got on my car that u have 2!:)

when did u get yours?

:)

I got mine done just after buying the car (about 15months ago), before I even joined SAU or SDU so I couldn't have copied you :)

I had to suffer with stuffed gauges for a little while and then had them re-calibrated. I only properly fixed my tacho recently when I replaced it 'cos it was un repairable after I had stuffed in when trying to put the faces on:lol:

luckly grim did hes first so when we did mine we knew what mistakes not to make again. Grim broke the springs on the tacho when removing it on his!

My tach is prob like 200rpm off comparing it to the reading from the s-afc.

how much one of these sets of ricey dials cost?

I actually wonder if anyone made 'em in red background with white letterings.... instead of white background....

they dont come in red as it would be 2 hard to read at night!

Mine go from blue to green and 5 shades in between and cost me $220 from Jetspeed.

emply your pm box i cant reply to your pm

cool i empyed it hahaha

ok i was worried about the calibration you talked about and worrying about my revs spedo and the rest going off?

when you say fitted by a professinal i dont mind doing that but who do i goto ?

i ask Garry's car audio if they can do it they said fine. i was going to do em both when i install my system but iam not sure i want some one to know what there doing and get it right the first time?

if you change it do you have to recalibrate it?

and if so where are these professinals in melbourne i dont mind spending that lil bit more to get it done proberly i saw one in unique auto sport site

but its only blue i think and one of you guys said you got one that changes colours or somthing where did you get it from

web site?? etc =)

thanks for your support guys =)

rakis on unique autosports that one is blue and green, those are the only colours u can get (i think)

Theres a switch from blue to green and a brightness switch!

The green looks poxy anyway!

If you take it off carefully and mark all the points after u take the little plastic stoppers off and place the needles back exactly the same way you shouldnt have any problems!

As for Garys Car Audio doing it, check that they have done it before, as if they *** up your dash, u r gonna have to go buy another 1 like 1 of my friends did after the place he took it to stuffed his speedo up.

If the installer stuffed up, shouldn't they be responsible to replace ur speedo?

If it's so risky, would it be better to buy a cluster set ready to plug in, but that would cost heaps I suppose...

    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!ย  We are a pack of know it alls....ย  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!ย  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree! ย 
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc. ย  It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things. ย  Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing" ย  As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things. ย  It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first. ย  There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one. ย  However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long timeย  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
