Mud Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Put mine in this morning, But the speedo catches at about 40 and 60, and the tacho catches at about 4000 rpm and wont go higher. I have it all pulled apart agin now? any suggestions? I might use some hot glue to hold it down a bit better round the edges.

Mud Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Ok I fixed it, I used a pair of scissors to GENTLY pry the needle out a bit so it clears the dial Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/52210-r33-reverse-el-dials/page/10/#findComment-1063799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_G Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Hi guys, just installed mine, and works awesome!!! Here are a few little tips and tricks I did along the way: Fed most of my wires through that gap on the RHS of the instrument cluster next to the taco. Saves taking connectors off and putting them back on... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/at...achmentid=24826 Cut the wire for the EL Speedo, fuel and temp and fed the wire through the gap on the Top LH corner where the black wire on the back sits, then soldered the connector back on. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/at...achmentid=24827 Rule number one!!! BE PATIENT and careful when installing the EL dials over the current dials, the Speedo/fuel/temp is the hardest one to do.... I found it was best to point the needles all at around an angle of 60 degrees For wiring the power to the controller box, i tapped into my negative wire for my turbo timer... For postive, I ran it straight to the cigarette lighter. BE SURE TO TAP INTO THE SMALL CONNECTOR for positive http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/at...tid=24831&stc=1 I stuck my controller box next to my fuse board using double sided tape, makes things neater... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/at...achmentid=24829 As someone else stated on here, you can select the colour you want, and then unplug the controller and leave it somewhere else. The controller is too ugly for my liking so I actually left the controller wire hanging out of the fuse board cover, sits nicely and you can plug up anytime and is sought of in a secret hideaway position... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/at...achmentid=24828 And the finished product: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/at...tid=24830&stc=1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/52210-r33-reverse-el-dials/page/10/#findComment-1063985 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Ok I fixed it, I used a pair of scissors to GENTLY pry the needle out a bit so it clears the dial No I didn't, It seems there is a bit of "play" in the tacho needle. If I pull gently on it , it comes out and clears the dial. after awhile it must vibrate back in and is now catching around 5000rpm. and ideas friends?

Yeah just took mine for a spin and it does the same starts catching at about 3/3.5 and keeps stuterering as im accelerating, maybne the screws in the back of the tacho may have something to do with it but im not sure anyone got any other ideas??

I found mine was catching on the TACO round 5000rpm and jutters all the way to 6.5-7k, then jutters back as I let off the accelerator... Pulled the dash out again and wiggled the taco needle up abit and spun it a fair few times and tried pushing down the EL dial more... Seems to have worked Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/52210-r33-reverse-el-dials/page/10/#findComment-1064923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 As i said there seems to be a bit of "play" or movement, if I could stop this, then it wouldn't vibrate back down? Maybe I need to wiggle it out a bit harder? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/52210-r33-reverse-el-dials/page/10/#findComment-1065188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
INASNT Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Theres are good but after about a year of heavy use you will find the inverter will start to play up and the backlight will start to flciker while driver with the lights on and if you have other things on like the a/c, rear demister, or wipers. If you guys installed them yourselfs i bet you speedo and tachs are around 200-300rpm out.

<line_up> Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I just put mine in and put some glue on EL tacho towards the bum of the needle and it aint catching, hopefully it doesnt, nut it is reading 150-200 rpm out when measured against my avcr, but they look awesome, i know motorware won install them on sklyines because they dont like to as its risky breaking the needle and other place are charging over $100 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/52210-r33-reverse-el-dials/page/10/#findComment-1067233 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3AP3R Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 For the guys who were having problems with the needles getting stuck, has anyone got any good suggestions as to how to stop this from happening? Glue has been mentioned, but I don't know whether it will be visible when they're lit. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
