Hey guys, i've currently got one of them Cyberstork white face dial covers. The only problem is that the R32 GTS-T gauge needle is still white, which would make it hard to see with a white background. Anybody have experience with this or know how to solve the problem? Would the needles even be interchangeable with the R33 or any other cars? Help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Here's a pic of what mine basically looks like stock.

LOL, better not touch it then, doesn't look too bad...

On the other hand, i did touch my fuel gauge...does it automatically adjust or do i have to disassemble the whole dash again and touch it?

Swapped to Cyberstork white faced gauges with grey background and i must say it looks horrible (at night). The red LEDs that i bought off 666DAN barely shone through and is patchy, some characters don't line up (despite an hour or 2 of lining it up), and is less visible at night than stock. Stuck between changine the faces to stock or just leaving it :)

(And no i'm not gonna fork out $800 for the Nismo ones...)

Here's a few pics of the result, day time it looks very nice.

Ahhh they're overlays, so yeah if the numerals aren't bang-on, the light isn't going to come through. Have you got anyway of removing the factory plastics and just leaving the cyberstork ones in place? I would have thought Cyberstork would have been a failry good item, maybe not :)

For painting the needles, go to autobarn and get red lens repair spray in a can, it's clear and bright red, woks a treat.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
