Recently picked up a set of Reverse El Dials for my R33 gts25t,

Was wondering if they are hard to install yourself, are there any DIY guides to it?

My Guess;

1. Take off console/dash

2. Remove Dials/clusters

3. Slip the reversel dials over the originals ones, and connect power to somewhere (err.. cigarette lighter power?)

4. Put everything back together

Can anyone thats done it themselves before assist/guide me, didn't get any installation instructions so its all by GUESS.

=)

the same dash console area (speed dial, tacho, warning lights etc) area

you can get reverse el dials set which is the same console unit but it in a cool fluro blue nightish psycho flurosecent colour insteae of just the stocker white lit colour

Anyone HELP with installing them??

Refer to this page....

I did it myself, the hardest one is the fuel/temp/speedo section...

Basically pull off the gear stick surround, remove the dash surround, steering wheel column covers & unplug all the wires going to the Mirror control, clock, air con unit.

Undo the 4 screws, 2 which are at the bottom of the cluster surround, then 2 at the top which sit vertical.

Remove the surround, then undo the 3 screws holding the cluster in. One in the center, and 2 either side of the cluster.

Unplug the 2 electrical leads running to hte cluster, and the whole thing will come out.

Remove the clear lens. Very easy as it just unclips, same with the black surround. Once black surround is off, you should know where to go from here.

The tacho will need to be removed to put in the factory boost gauge EL dial. Make sure you dont bend the dials as much as you can, cause if they warp, you will find that the needle catches on the tacho or speedo.

Hope this helps...

Thanks Mr_G, i was looking for a responsee like that,

If you get very stuck, you can always pop round or something and im more than happy to give you a hand taking the car apart...

When you thread the speedo/temp/fuel section wiring through the hole, you will need to cut the wire so you can feed it through, as the clip on the wire that goes to the control unit is to big. Cut it, resolder once you thread the wire through & dont forget the heatshrink or electrical tape to seperate positive and negative.

:P

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
