Nismo white speedo backlit colour??

[rs73]

Does anyone know the backlight colours on these items:

- Nismo's white face 320km speedo cluster

- Trust white face boost gauge

I know Apexi Boost Gauge has blu-ish backlight colour, so if Nismo speedo has the same blu-ish backlight colour, then it will match Apexi perfectly. Not sure about Trust boost gauge.

nismo -> green, red and yellow

trust -> green and red

[rs73]

thx nissaner...

so trust boost gauge is definitely DOES NOT have blue backlighting, right?

Cause I wanna match the colour white face when it's off (daylight) and the colour of backlighting when it's on (night time)

[51jay]

they match ok in daytime but not at night Apexi whole face lights up pale blue nismos face is dark at night with only the numbers and logo + pointer and a fuzzy ring around centre lighting up . Nizmo looks good at night and I don't mind the mismatced Boost gauge 'cos it's off side in a pillar mount

I'm talkin 'bout matching Nismo speedo at night and Trust white face boost gauge at night... since I think trust boost gauge backlight is not blue so they will match.

[nissaner]

trust me... they (nismo speedo and trust boost guage) DO match... how do i know? i just know...

nismo dash is sexy at day and all

but at night it lacks to light up all that good

sometimes u cant even make out the numbers

only my opinion

also have new apexi electrical gauges that light up mad blue

which look crazy at night

I'm sure you can replace the bulb that illuminates the speedo, etc.

How difficult is it to change actually? I don't mind the standard look dials, but they could do with a more interesting light colour.

I can solder in something else easily enough.

First, I won't be doing much night driving, mostly day only.

So white face nismo will look great at daytime when I do my driving most.

Secondly, the nismo speedo lights up in greenish backlit, so I won't buy Apexi boost gauge coz I don't want one thing light up in blue and don't match up with others. So I will go with Trust white face boost gauge, which has the similar colour with Nismo backlit at night. I'm sure someone mentioned this in other thread I can't seem to find which one again.

Anyway, my car's wine red so theme-wise I don't feel it will match well with apexi's glowing blue lights at night... so my choice are fix: Nismo speedo & Trust gauge combination... thx everyone for the input.

Hey Jay...

Does your Nismo speedo cluster comes with all the warning lights like ABS, HICAS,etc? Since it is meant to be for a GT-R, if installed on a GTS-t, will the ATESSA (4 WD system) warning light comes on????

RS73 - I wanted to match my nismo white faced gauges to a boost gauge so I got the Trust one and yes they match.... almost identical. Have a look...

Not to be rude but I think that the nismo dash is crystal clear at night and better than the standard gauges. ALso if you look at the pictures above even in the VERY BLURRED background image of the dash I can make out the numbers. I've had the nismo ones in pretty soon after I got the car and they are clearer than almost any other car. Like RS73 I didn't want green gauges and blue light cos it looks like a circus.

As far as I know all nismo dashes for the R33 GTR are the same except for the white/black combos. And no the warning light does not come on because I believe its for the Active LSD (correct me if I'm wrong) which is only for the Vspec GTR.

thx 400hp, I've been lookin for that pic somewhere.

I can't think where you put your boost gauge....

pillar mount should be on the right, or you mount it somewhere to the left of the steering wheel?

Or your car is left hand drive?

[400HP]

Nah my car is right hand drive... I'm in Sydney dude

The boost gauge is mounted on the steering column covering part of the speedo. I don't really care as it only covers 220km/hr - 320 which you won't see often in Australia anyway... I thought about it heaps where i was gona mount it. I didn't wanna get defected for the A-pillar and didn't want to drill. Anyway I'm happy with it.,

u have to pull out the whole dash console to get to the bulbs!

if u want the apexi boost gauge to match your dash get the EL dash kit like mine.

[rs73]

INASNT,

I'm after the 320km/h speedo from Nismo, which has greenish colour backlight (the numbers only). So Apexi EL gauge is out of the question, and I am going with Trust gauge as the backlight colours match the Nismo speedo nicely as shown by 400HP's picture above....
