i got an EL luminous dial kit yeasterday from e-tronic at parramatta for $150. great price took a lot of ringing around though and they can also make custom ones in any color witch also illuminates

Pred:

during the day the dials are white, at night with the lights on they can be either blue or green (switch) and also dimmed (on the switch)

I seriously could not go back to the stock dials (never had them in the first place but im sure you know what I mean)

is e-tronic the same as SRALLY

Unit 2, Grose Street

NORTH PARRRAMATTA

9683 5880

?? I might give em a call n ask em if they can do it for an R32 as well, coz they dun make EL kits for R32's. Otherwise its back to trying to used ultra bright white lights instead of the standard backlight... I so can't see my cluster even witht he dimmer turned all the way up.

yeah funkymonkey its the same place.

they will make you a custom one for around $300.

mine was $150 cause it was a el dials of the shelf item.

Jimbo sorry no pictures yet as i havent installed them yet. im going to have a go at installing the today.

if you want a set from e-tronic you better hurry and remember to take cash.

i installed mine yesturday, and im very happy with the result i think they look great. and i cant complain for $150.

i took the new dials and instrument cluster to a couple of instrument technitians around my area, one wanted over $200 to fit it and all the rest wouldn't even attempt it?????????? for fear of wrecking my speedo and all calibration.

so i figured i am a mechanic so why not try it my self.

i done exactly what inasnt surgested, take the needle stopers out and let the spring loaded needle come to a rest. then mark the resting spot for the needle. take the needle off. take the old dial off. replace it with the new el luminuos dial. put the needle back on in exactly the same position as i maked it, then turn the needle around till its past the stoper point then replace the needle stopper

i checked my calibration and its all still spot on.....................

was fiddly but a good result and more satifaction cause i done it my self...........

the instrument technitians can go **** themselfs.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
