updated cluster arrived

with the newer model cluster - caps arent in the cluster... theyre condoms over the globes... so peeled them off... then decided to put my phillips ultravision artic globes in

turned it on

ba bow... bright fkn green

its the green on the dials... the mrs is doing OT at work today so shes trying the turps thing... i cant see how it will work as there doesnt seem to be a non green layer on the dials...

so now were all back to the same dilema - how to get the white!

the g/f here :(

got half of it done today whilst at work with a razor and turps :happy:

just an idea .. it's never going to come out 100% white as the plastic backing has a slight green tinge ...

another option if your after something INTERESTING is by sticking some clear coloured contact to the back .. ie pink / blue / purple / bla bla bla !

also the orange needles can be made into clear by simply turpsing off the coat of white/orange !

found out from a mate there is a gauge place here in adelaide near my gfs... his mate had his gauges reprinted

so might see if they can reprint the front part of mine onto clear sheet... or white... i thought it would be harder but supposedly these guys can do it

also gonna change needles to red also!

doesnt the newer model cluster conflict with the speed sensor? i know it's got that cable driven thing in the back.

i was having trouble with my cluster. PFC wasnt reading speed, and got told to change to another one from the same model, i was also told that the later model ones dont work nor do the RB25DE clusters.

works fine

only thing not working in my new cluster is fuel gauge... either due to incompatability or just broken gauge from japan (prolly reason why the guy was selling it lol)

waiting on my callback about reprinting these dials... im thinking itll be 500+

Phwoar $500+? that's a bit of money just for some white illumination...

I was thinking more along the lines of scanning the cluster dials (with a decent scanner), slight modification of the image on the computer, then go down to a sticker shop and have it printed as a vinyl sticker. Put the sticker on a piece of white acrylic.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
