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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
