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.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
