As i am not very knowledgeable in the circuitry of the internal dash components and i am not claiming that i know exactly how they work , i can only attempt to describe what i mean. I will do this with the best paint skillz that i have. I hope this helps to explain 2 things. 1) that i am a moron that doesnt understand dash circuitry and 2) that the thing im wondering is if you can change is, the thing behind the fascia (which controls the speedo pin/dail).

Paid!! great forum to support my only issue is - now i get this error message: "E-mails Bouncing" Emails that we send to you are being returned to us. If our emails continue to bounce, we will stop sending emails to you. [update Your Email Address] I have updated it twice now to 2 different e-mails and none of them work?? wtf? Spam filter is a bitch - and i am a doodlebrain for not checking it.... disregard my dribble please

Hey Jiffo Yes the speedo works at present. as does the tacho. I don't imagine it makes a difference that its an 26/30 not 25/30 - the ecu pins should be the same. your mate has a nice setup there. the fascia will be different. My original question was, whether its possible to have a different internal mechanisms behind the fascia (ie. 300km/h from gtr nismo dash). However through some lucky surfing and finding out some info from some friends it seems that maybe that doesn't even need to be done.

http://www.gweeds.net/RBModule/rbmodule.html here is the link... here is the face, its something like what im thinking of... The beauty of printing your own dials means you can do what you want with them here are some pictures of the prints I used I surrounded the gauges with carbon fibre stick on film. The GSR of course stands for Guido Seevens Racing. The Speedo has been roughly recalibrated so that it matches with the speedo drive out of the Nissan gearbox (My 100k is where a standard commodores 80k is) And the top end brought up from 200 to 240. The rev counter has been extended to 9 grand (tho the motor is limited at 6800rpm). The whole lot was printed on high quality white paper with a colour photocopier. The paper was then stuck to 0.5mm thick white Polystryrene sheet behind which I stuck 2 layers of blue cellophane so that the dash has a blue glow at night. This is to be replaced by Electro Luminescent sheet which will give it the Indiglo type effect. The gauges will then be printed on transparencies. The satellite switches and boost gauge have been illuminated with blue LED's

Jiffo - sorry i should have mentioned this. I will be using a 26/30 engine with the normal MX7 gearbox from the vl turbo. I did have a long troll around the interweb and find out some things i needed to know. I stumbled upon a dude from NZ that made an rpm signal converter for a vl. If i understood it correctly it changes the gtr 5 volt 6 pulse rpm signal to a single pulse 12 volt signal. Or maybe the other way around, i dont have the web page open in front of me right now. There was also another dude called Grant that used to work in Sixworks in Newcastle who made some kit for this kind of thing, but that forum info was from 2003 i have sent the guy an e-mail but not heard anything yet. The reason i want the thing to look factory is just because of personal taste. I want something unique and not just normal autometer guages in a box zoomzoom - your dash looks pretty neat. i like what you've done. Once again, while surfing the web i found out that you can also recalibrate the vl speedo to 240km/h (its no 300 but its something different) I will post up the links i have found when i get home today and see what you guys think about them. I do appreciate the response. thought provoking.

Hello SAU I have an idea. It seems pretty simple, but as all simple things, its complex in nature. I have a vl calais turbo and i want to change the internals of the dash with the GTR skyline dash internals to make the vl a 300km/h and 9'000rpm dash. Now the difficult part is that i want to use the same face of the VL dash and get it re-numbered to match the factory style look (but obviuosly with the skyline numbers) and to get the needles tuned to the same ratio of the new gauges. (i hope that makes sense) So i need to find out a few things: The specifications for the electrical signals from the rpm and speed signal for the two cars (or at least the skyline one - while im here) And to see if they are then compatible I have tried to do a search on here but the main things i am findiing is the wiring diagrams and so forth, not the actual signal specs and so forth. Now before the comments start coming in about why not go aftermarket - well everyone has that! I appreciate any help given. Regards - Ben

Any Chance you got a GTR Crank shaft? pm me if you do

Post a link, a price, a location and if you can some pics mate... otherwise this thread might be closed by a mod.. thems the rulez!!

Hey there could you please msg me a couple of things price inc. postage to 7250 Also how much for the tyres aswell? How much tread left on the tyres? Thanks

Stock engine? Got a few more pics mate?

interested in cargo screen. could you please let me know 2 things. 1. How much inclusive to 7250 Tasmania 2. do you happen to have the Mesh net aswell that some stags have with the screen?

Would they fit on a Stagea?

Its about $2,500 - $3,500 to get your licence in Germany... So i think what we pay and what others pay is relatively mild. Mind you they dont have to repay every 5 years just to "hold" their licence, or i suppose keep it valid. I think that the fee we pay to renew our licence should go toward some form of retest. Does anyone know what that fee is actually for? - (the renewing of the licence) It cant just be a money making scheme???? Can it??

thinking of tubbing my Barina.... hehehehe

Nice!

Just to have a little b!tch.... I dont like the whole 80km/h limit either. I think if you are going to let someone into a car where they will eventually be driving the speed limit and then doing things like, hmmmmmm, lets say, OVERTAKE... shouldnt we learn how to do that safely and properly? Maybe make the test a bit harder, and give the P "Player" the ability to go 110 from the get to. That way they are not so much of a (NOW DONT ABUSE ME FOR WORD CHOICE) hinderance on the road. I mean, If your driving along and there is someone doing 80 infront of you in a 110 zone, its annoying. I have no problem with Learners doing it, because lets face it, they are "learning" but still, i think that part of the learning should be driving the same as everyone else. sorry for the rant.

Great topic to spark some interesting points of view. I personally think that there should be compulsary testing. Probably as said every 3-4 years or so... (give people a chance to forget things). Or maybe have it something like this. Get Learners then P's Then retest 1 year after getting full licence, Then say every 5 years (to coincide with the renewal fee of a licence) And then at a ceratin age (just to pick one out of the hat - say 60) Make it every 3 years 70 every 2 years 80 ever year and so on... if your still able to drive well at 90 well you need a medal! And at 100 something that says road rules dont apply to you. Re testing would definately clean up the streets. but ontop of this i think it should be harder to get your licence (dont hit me) and i think there should be more driver - instructor lessons. Not so many - "Mum/Dad can we go for a drive" lessons. Just my 2 cents

it depends on the depth of the woofer. It should fit size wise but depending on the depth it might need a spacer... however you might be lucky...

Still up for sale?

What sort of Stag are you after? Mail me the sort of thing your interested in... I got 2001 Stagea Pretty much stock 70,000kms silver Alpine stereo (Sub 12', Amp, Splits, Coax, headunit)

Interested in SAFC pm me your details....

Saw this at uni and couldnt help but plug it for you Asian takeaway needs staff - No experience necessary - 0403 273 281 or 0403 501 998 Good luck

It might help mate, if you posted up what you can do. Can you use Microsoft office? Can you use any work related programs or have you used them before? MYOB? any tax programs and so on? It might be an idea to get your hands on some of these and have a play around. If you can familiarise yourself with them, you would be a bit more "skilled" for an office job. But IMO most office jobs consits of answering phones, transfering calls, collecting mail, filing, organising paperwork for people, and general computer work (depending on the industry). this is obviously a *very* generalised and simplistic synopsis of what it is to do an office job. there is more to it... but generally they would be your main tasks

If you do part the car, i would be interested to know if you have the cargo blind and the cargo net? also how much you might want for them shipped to tassie 7250 thanks

interested in safc... could you pm me price + postage to tassie 7250. And some pics if you can Cheers
