MrGTST Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Hmmm not good..... I have just striped out the dash and checked the black box... I was hoping that I could take the box apart but it appears to be filled full of some filler type substance Apart from completely destroying the box to inspect it I dont think it will be repairable. . . . The price for 1 replacement unit is $100 which is almost the price of a complete new set ... I have asked them to get prices on 5 or 6 units to get a discount but I dont think its going to make them cheap still.... Any thoughts guys?

raz0r$harP.UK Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Hey guys - I wasn't part of the group buy but me and some mates got some EL dials last year. My mate got them in his VY Commie and after a while they started to flicker on and off, he took them back to the shop and got it rewired. Now they are starting to peel slightly. Mine seem to be okay - but something has gone wrong with my tacho and boost gauge needles and they 'stick' at a certain point. Like the tacho sticks at about 5000rpm. From what I can see it doesn't look like there's a problem with the dials being flat, but it still happens. I've already taken it back to be fixed but I don't think that made a difference. It's a shame though because I love the look of them!

ix9 Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 Brett! Awesome man, if you sourced them from Evo-R maybe they could help us out, as they provided the shit product to begin with ?

MrGTST Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Sorry works been busy.... I still need to give Evo-R another call to find out what group discount they can offer us..... Also my dials seem to be really starting to die on me so I think I am going to destroy my black box power supply and find out whats really inside it. as I dont think it will be that hard to fix......just a pain in the ass getting into the box itself.... So watch this space and I will provide an update shortly....

NO_RSPECT Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 the black boxes.... you guys should just purchase dials for some hella common car in malaysia and get the whole set sent over here and then you can just use the inverters ... i mean its EL so it will use a 240v power supply instead of the DC12v that the vehicle is... any way of purchasing one from jaycar or something.. I just installed some in the proton... they were something like $75 i think from malaysia.. if you guys want.. PM GODFATHER..... hahaha BAM BAM... get ready for the flood.. maybe he can organise a bunch more from the land of the cheap rice Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70305-anyone-remember-the-el-dash-gauges-group-buy/page/2/#findComment-1319296 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGTST Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Once I break open the box I can hopefully identify the voltages that are needed.... along with any components that may need replacing....

Lezzare Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Today I tried to install my el-dials...I found that the dials were not really flush and sort of obstructs the meter....than there wasn't space for protruding wires...in the end I did not install it. But it was quite an experience, took 3 hours. Now I know why my mechanic was going to charge me $300 and still reluctant to do it. Delicate stuff....

Lezzare Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Bought from one of the mates in the forum for $130. Guys. Anybody wants the black box from my el-dial? I broke the boost-gauge panel accidentally. Guess I was fustrated. Now I'm not installing it and I think nobody will want to buy it.

Haven't tried them today, but will when I get home.
