hi all,..

i've noticed that some r32's have a blue background on their RPM, Speedo, oil, temp, boost gauges on the instrument cluster and its not those illuminicent types. and its not the bulbs ... its clearly the background with the klms, rpm reading etc..

my factory is black background.. and definately the one i saw was factory as well .. maybe a GTR cluster?

does anyone know if the above can be purchased somewhere? or is it something done aftermarket?

I did about the same as you, but mine were really dodgy~~

but have a look anyway.

They look alright... can't really tell how bright they are from the photo. I'll see if I can get a shot of mine.. I think they came out really well. I also did the centre console gauges on mine.

:)

It should be the same but you should check somebody's first before getting a new one.

I might have one lying around if interested.

dude where u at? can i check them out ??

let me know!

that means i have to wind back the clock on urs ....how much k's does it have?

cheers!

I'm in Syd. I'm not sure on K's but you might be able to just use plastic or the blue film. I'll try to have a look at it tonight if i dont forget.

sweet ass .. let me knw how u go ... .. i think we can just remove the plastic fins but sometimes the labels (numbers etc) are on the hard plastic of the thin plastic fin (blue)

check it outz and let me know ..

or is it better juzz to get the nismo 300+ klms cluster?

how much do they go for?

I found that the early guages dont plug straight in, the tracks on the back are a bit different. But it's easy enough to swap the blue faces onto the later dash.

thanks dude for the info ..and everyone 1 else who contributed ..

i might just have to source them out somewhere ... i wonder how much the cluster is?

Okay to tell you the truth... they are not bright enough for me, I can't see what speed I am going at most of the time... probably will put more drilling and LEDs in later on.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
