those look insane, I was contemplating getting a batch made up thru a mate of mine who can do custom cut brushed aluminium pieces for dirt cheap. All he'd need is sum1's gauge to butcher (or one that don't work)

funky it sounds good to me if u can get a good price on some EL's

and some brushed aluminium pieces around the dials would be sweet

any idea if he can do the dash surround in brushed aluminium aswell?

er... i was just sayin sumfin bout the bezels... the gauges are made in the US by some company i got no ties to... i was just givin an example

oh ok

when i mean the dash surround i dont mean the bezels, i mean like round the stereo etc etc if u know what i mean?

bezels would be nice..... id be willing to give u my cluster if we could work out a time etc etc

OK since you bishes want rice so much I've just put in a request for the following EL gauges to be made (with SAU monograms on them that light up n shit, we'll work out the design later)

The models I'll be gettin em made up for are:

HCR32

BNR32

ER33

ECR33

I've jsut sent an order request to an EL manufacturer I know, and hopefully they'll send me back prices, minimum units, options, colours etc etc.

As for bezels, I've let my mate know, he sed he'll find out and let me know next week sometime

Hopefully if all goes to plan I'll have the gauge diagrams for those 4 models from japan soon (depends on if one of the guys in japan actually gets my email and goes n buys it for me). Once I have those, I'll do a lil bit of customising with logos n stuff, then send em off to the manufacturer, who will then convert em to EL gauges.

mind you we are going direct to manufacturers and that means that we need numbers, deposits, commitment etc etc, you guys know the drill. Also it might take a while to get em all done, so don't bytch n moan about the timeframe :P

If y'all are cool witht hat then I'll do it.

hippy spot on... i'm actually tryin to get the templates they sell for $40 there and then convert em to EL thru this company i know. The sheets you buy in japan are non EL, they're just normal laminated white slip ons. But they'll make great templates for the EL sheets.

I was thinking about the speed, I think it can be easily made to go up to 240 sumfin.

funky, if the speed is gonna go past 180 then i hope the scale of the orig speedo isnt going to change.... just to make things easier for everyone

do u think we can just add some more onto the end, keeping the same scale? cos i cant think how much more room we have off the top of my head

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
