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.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
