hay funky I can't get onto SDU as I have a hotmail address , Blade (tim) maybe you can get on and talk to these guys on SDU and then post it back up here for people who want to jump on this band wagon , there is a place over in Perth I have been told that makes this kit for around $135 , called Evolution R , in Bentley . I could not find them thou.

Perth guys did the group buy thru Evo R. Perhaps they might be willing to do a batch of R32 ones if we can muster up the numbers.

The SDU boys ordered thru Auto Illusions which turned to shambles, they never ended up gettin em, and some people are still in the process of getting reimbursements.

If you need R33 indiglo or reverse indiglo products, then contact the Perth SAU reps for the group buy details and see if you guys can order a few thru em.

If you are interested n R32 ones, then myself included will be more than glad to try n organise some. However due to lack of numbers we'll need to get the SDU boys in on this one too so we can fulfill the minimum orders etc.

speak to jameszilla he has the contact details of the place at autosalon who approached us and wanted to do group buys and stuff. insant got his el kit from there. they do all kinds of cool kits and most likely an idigllo or what ever it is at a good price cos its a group buy, ask james for the details

Just got in touch with Peaks in Japan and can organise R32 Type M Instument clusters from them for $200. Quality japanese made EL Clusters for R32 RB20DET FR models. Shipping should be about $30 couriered to your house.

What about these dudes -- they seem to have dials for a lot of models including the all important R32 (GT-R) :) -- although their dials are a little plainer than some of the flashier ones posted in this thread.

cyberstork don't do EL they do semi translucent white. I've already broght about 5 down from japan. they sell for 2980 something yen before tax, which is about 40 bucks

Dammit. These were the peeps doing the dials for SDU:

Unfortunately my japanese skills are lacking so I haven't been able to dig up any others on ebay *sigh*. Would have thought there was some demand for these in Japan...?

LW.

not really, there's peaks who do the Jap EL's for R32's look horn as IMHO nice n clean too.

Japs are more into 320km/h speedo's than el's, however this whole fnf phase sweeping thru japan might change that.

as for autoillusions, I've spoken to the pres of the 300zx club n he's told me to stay away from em. the ones he made for em had smudged numbers, and some el's had bad lamination etc. another batch was made up using the money from another group buy from some other club, became a whole big fiasco and ended up resulting in nothing. SDU got caught up in this as well and they're still tryin to get their money refunded, some of em.

Yeah, the Peaks one's look great, but useless if they don't do GT-R gauges :D As I said over at SDU, I came across these guys who seem to be big in this business: http://www.nrauto.com

I have sent them an email, so I will await their reply.

LW.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
