Anyone remember the EL Dash gauges group buy?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

The wing is entirely for down-force;) Need it at high-speed:p

Doesn't your car have to work for it to be driven at high speed

[MrGTST]

Hmmm not good..... I have just striped out the dash and checked the black box... I was hoping that I could take the box apart but it appears to be filled full of some filler type substance

Apart from completely destroying the box to inspect it I dont think it will be repairable. . . .

The price for 1 replacement unit is $100 which is almost the price of a complete new set ... I have asked them to get prices on 5 or 6 units to get a discount but I dont think its going to make them cheap still....

Any thoughts guys?

Hey guys - I wasn't part of the group buy but me and some mates got some EL dials last year. My mate got them in his VY Commie and after a while they started to flicker on and off, he took them back to the shop and got it rewired. Now they are starting to peel slightly.

Mine seem to be okay - but something has gone wrong with my tacho and boost gauge needles and they 'stick' at a certain point. Like the tacho sticks at about 5000rpm. From what I can see it doesn't look like there's a problem with the dials being flat, but it still happens. I've already taken it back to be fixed but I don't think that made a difference.

It's a shame though because I love the look of them!

Brett!

Awesome man, if you sourced them from Evo-R maybe they could help us out, as they provided the shit product to begin with ?

[MrGTST]

That price is from Evo R .... still waiting to hear back about a group discount though... will probably have to give them another call....

[RTHRTY3]

hey guys count me in, mine started doing it about a week ago, damn thing flickes on and off as it like. But last saturday nite it worked fine the whole nite, but i bet it will do it again. yea got a feelin it mite be that black box powers supply thingi.

eventhough this gauge looks awesome its just a shame for it to do this. *looks at avator*

[RTHRTY3]

any news on this guys?

[MrGTST]

Sorry works been busy.... I still need to give Evo-R another call to find out what group discount they can offer us..... Also my dials seem to be really starting to die on me so I think I am going to destroy my black box power supply and find out whats really inside it. as I dont think it will be that hard to fix......just a pain in the ass getting into the box itself....

So watch this space and I will provide an update shortly....

[NO_RSPECT]

the black boxes.... you guys should just purchase dials for some hella common car in malaysia and get the whole set sent over here and then you can just use the inverters ... i mean its EL so it will use a 240v power supply instead of the DC12v that the vehicle is...

any way of purchasing one from jaycar or something..

I just installed some in the proton... they were something like $75 i think from malaysia..

if you guys want.. PM GODFATHER..... hahaha BAM BAM... get ready for the flood..

maybe he can organise a bunch more from the land of the cheap rice

[ix9]

The EL stuff runs on 240v ? what the f*ck ? Serious.

[MrGTST]

Once I break open the box I can hopefully identify the voltages that are needed.... along with any components that may need replacing....

[RTHRTY3]

cool keep us posted

Today I tried to install my el-dials...I found that the dials were not really flush and sort of obstructs the meter....than there wasn't space for protruding wires...in the end I did not install it. But it was quite an experience, took 3 hours. Now I know why my mechanic was going to charge me $300 and still reluctant to do it. Delicate stuff....

[FURIOUS85]

where did u buy it from and how much??

i wana get one coz i instaled ma old 180sx ones and i wouldnt mind putn some in ma r33

let me know plz

[Lezzare]

Bought from one of the mates in the forum for $130.

Guys. Anybody wants the black box from my el-dial? I broke the boost-gauge panel accidentally. Guess I was fustrated. Now I'm not installing it and I think nobody will want to buy it.

[uneekwahn]

ok,

well my EL's haven't worked for probably close to 2 months now, not even bothering to flicker or turn on.

last night, they started working again, every time.

Haven't tried them today, but will when I get home.

[ix9]

Lezzare - PM me a price that you want for the black box thinggy and we can negotiate
