white with blue led. please answear above post thanks, also i have another question, is it possible the change the colour of the needle seperatly to the cluster lights, i want blue cluster with red needle like my apexi el2 gauge.

See....i would think not....considering the 32 speedo drive is cable and not electronic.

Explanation of how it will read 300????

If it really does read 300 ill gladly purchase.

White for gtr thanks.

yes the R32 cluster is indeed cable driven. we are currently working on the recalibration procedure and should have a solution soon. once we have sorted that out I will be able to get a design drawn up and posted on the forum.

regardless of what colour LEDs you install in your cluster, the needle always illuminates red.

CALIBRATION: the R32 being a mechanical speedometer drive, an additional unit will be required to be purchased to change the ratio of the needle movement. The unit will cost something like $150.

wow just stumbled upon this!! :kiss:

White for me & GTST.

Regarding the gtst's being mechanical... The signal is converted to an elec signal in the cluster and then sent to the ECU.

Is there anyway to modify that signal there or impossible?

A mob here in SA do the speedo ratio box's, apparently for ~$110 but will double check monday.

I'll be needing the ratio box anyhow so its no biggy for myself. :P

damn, i just stumbled upon this too, damnit :)

i saw the 33 one a while back they look awesome

I've got a GTS4 :S

so same dials as GTS-t except the left hand side has a torque splitter in place of the boost guage(like GTR)

are you able to do one for me in black?

let us know about the ratio box, what maximum speed is the ratio box designed for? that will determine the max speed on the speedometer for this kit.

You could also do round 260kph kits or 240kph maybe?

just add the numbers on after the 180? as I know my speedo goes way past the 180kph on the track

The bloke said the max speed isn't an issue. BUT he would need a speedo example as to make the box up as its not adjustable.

The other option is to have the speedo recalibrated which is $90.

He seemed to think the speedo box wouldn't work; unsure why as demagnetising or magnetising the speedo is the same as changing the cable speed. He wasn't all that clear but from where I am I can't see why it most definitely wont. Maybe a Morning thing. lol

I have a spare R32 GTST cluster here that I can send down. What the instrument guy would need to do would be to recalibrate the ratio so that at the current 180 km/h mark, the speed reading is 300 km/h (or 320 whichever is easier) and then I would get the speedometer face designed accordingly.

send me a PM if you are able to arrange this for us and I will send you the cluster.

I can get the speedo recalibrated at 300km/h or 320km/h depending on how you plan to space the numbers etc. He charges $90 to do so.

Thinking more about the ratio box. Its definitely not going to work. It will work with respect to displaying the correct speed on the dash with the new faces BUT it will slow the odometer and incorrectly report the amount of km's travelled.

So for our Mechanical R32 speedo's the ONLY way is to drop the cluster in to an instrument shop to be calibrated.

PM me if your still interested in doing this... Postage costs etc etc it may be worth while finding a local bloke?

well our local instrument shop who is very good had the cluster for a couple of weeks but couldnt find a practical / inexpensive solution to the problem.

I guess the way to go if we want to get this happening would be to leave it up to the individual to organise their own calibration with their local instrument shop? what do you think?

I'm fine with that.

As we come across instrument shops within our own states it would help full for all of us to post their details.

They appeared fairly certian that magnetising or demagnetising the speedo wouldn't affect the odometer. What are your thoughts? :S

guess we will just have to suck it and see.

now that the calibration is out of the way, I will get some design pics posted here in the next few days.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
