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...

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

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.

contact them and they may be able to help

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! :)

let me know how you go! and depending on how it turns out, i will give it a go!

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 :D

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.

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 :blink: 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?

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

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?

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
