Has any one fitted white faced gauges to there car before? I have a R33 series 2 and on ebay you can pick up white faced gauges for $75 plus shipping. But the thing is how hard are they to fit? Is it something i can do myself? and has anyone done it before? also are the legal to have? (cos everything these days is illegal!)

Thanks

Adz,

I personally have white faced guages installed in my Series Two. To install:

1. Remove dash surround and remove dash cluster.

2. Unclip the front clear panel and expose the black bezel.

3. Remove bezel to expose guages.

4. The guage faces will have an enlarged center hole to slide over the needles... and sit over existing faces. For boost, you have to remove the tacho by unscrewing it from the back and pulling out from the front. The whole assembly should come out. (NOTE: DO NOT REMOVE NEEDLES)

5. Depending whether your faces are EL, remove all lighting bulbs except for warning lights and the one down the bottom right.

6. Again if EL, feed wires through where the bulbs used to do and hook up to 12 volt source (headlights)

7. Re-assemble and put back in.

8. You now have a sexy new dash.

Any more questions, give me a yell.

Cheers,

-Bman

ive got the white face for the dash cluster. but with mine its just all white and glows blue or green. it was a pain to put in because i had to take the needles off and it is a bitch to get them back on, spot on the right spot (adv to have a digital speedo and tacho).

but the rest was easy. just a mater of taking it apart, sticking them on, hooking up the wires, placing the dimer and back together again.

what will they fit in??

And also, these NISMO white faced gauges are 320kph and 11 grand tacho, as opposed to the stock 180kph and 9 grand tacho. Do you have to change cogs/gears at the back or somethin??

Sorry if this has been covered before, just wondering

Bman how much were your ones, and where did you get them ?

Alex_r33: They were about $90.00 + Postage

Josh: Im sure they do make them for the GTS's aswell, I got mine off ebay, have a look on there and try searching for EL GUAGES or similar and you should have some luck.

xtra.5: I didn't see the nismo guages until after I purchased these.... Should have waited a little while longer. :miner:

What if u just bought the whole instrument cluster? Would that re-calibrate it......i was thinking this, before when tossing up between the 320 vs 180 white faced dials. got the 180 cause seriously how often do u go above that. and on the drag strip u get told how fast u were going anyway! Plus personally i think they look better with just the middle lighting up and being able to jump between blue and green just by pressing a button.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
