R34 White Dial Inserts

[Hanaldo]

Hey everyone,

I have been looking for white dials for the dash cluster for an R34 for bloody ages and i can't find any, does anyone know where to get them from?

I'm talking about these things:

But for an R34...

i am also very interested ey. I have searched high and low and havent found any...i saw some but for GTR r34 =[

[Hanaldo]

Some of those or an actual replacement dash with white gauges? Because that's all i can find for R34's, the Nismo white face dash, but i'm not keen to spend $1000 on a dash and then not have the kms matching the car. I just want the white gauges lol

[ZXY]

you can always bring it to nissan and get them to match the numbers for you with the nismo cluster

[R34P3R]

do you have a way of opening up your cluster?

[Hanaldo]

Haven't tried, why's that?

Have seen them before on an R34...trying to remember who's it was though...

It depends what you buy...if its just the plastic face of the gauge, you just take the speedo/tacho/etc needles off, new face on, needles back on and recalibrate it...if you swap the entire cluster, the odometer is an independent unit that can be swapped into the new cluster, or there easy ways or changing the odometer reading itself.

Thanks for that Garry, i contacted them and it turns out the bloke has been working on them for 34's and will be putting them up for sale tomorrow, so i am officially his first customer!

Ok so turns out i'm still on the hunt, the guy said he was unable to replicate them successfully because of the shape of the dials. Makes sense as to why none exist for 34's as of yet... Damn Nissan and their making the dials complicated

[R34P3R]

Haven't tried, why's that?

i want to make it look like this, either spraying it silver or making a insert for it. i know it wont be the exact same as the gtrs one if i spray it but it will look nicer i think

if you do open up your cluster can you tell me if its easy or not.

[Hanaldo]

Yeh i want to do that as well. I will give it a shot and let you know how i go man

[R34P3R]

cool =]

i remember i did my lancer when i first got it and even though the car looked crap the dash looked soo cool lol but i had to break the plastic to get into it

[Traitor7]

R34P3R, Just buy the NISMO dash and gauges

Then change all the leds to red to match it !!

[snozzle]

i was thinking about this the other day when i was staring at my cluster in traffic..

pretty sure its too hard to do because of the concave shape of the dial face its a no go, just go for some white led's, i have some blue leds in mine at the moment but there are some spots that are slightly brighter than others.. annoys me

anyone know of white dash leds that have a consistent level of illumination across the whole cluster?

[Hanaldo]

Yeh that's why the guy couldn't replicate them. Bloody Nissan.

Awel, i might just go for the silver surround... Would look better with the white dials but what can you do. I've also got blue LED lights, white won't work because the dials have a blue coat on them that turns the white light into a pale blue. Did you get the lights off Dan (666Dan) on here? His kits are quite good

[R34P3R]

i like my dash lol i just want the silver bit. dont really care about the dials

could be the crappy positioning of bulb holes at the back of the cluster seems like there needs to be at least 2-3 more holes to give more light. ive done a few colours on different cars and always same result.

Wouldnt mind new faces for the 2 clusters also, triple gauges on 34's are pretty old/boring looking. but instead of white i would prefer black maybe glossy but then could reflect too much light?

[ZXY]

ive got the triple cluster replaced with white greddy dials. Would have been good to get the white cluster dials =[
