rs73 Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 Does anyone know the backlight colours on these items: - Nismo's white face 320km speedo cluster - Trust white face boost gauge I know Apexi Boost Gauge has blu-ish backlight colour, so if Nismo speedo has the same blu-ish backlight colour, then it will match Apexi perfectly. Not sure about Trust boost gauge. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7905-nismo-white-speedo-backlit-colour/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs73 Posted December 28, 2002 Author Share Posted December 28, 2002 thx nissaner... so trust boost gauge is definitely DOES NOT have blue backlighting, right? Cause I wanna match the colour white face when it's off (daylight) and the colour of backlighting when it's on (night time) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7905-nismo-white-speedo-backlit-colour/#findComment-115448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
51jay Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 they match ok in daytime but not at night Apexi whole face lights up pale blue nismos face is dark at night with only the numbers and logo + pointer and a fuzzy ring around centre lighting up . Nizmo looks good at night and I don't mind the mismatced Boost gauge 'cos it's off side in a pillar mount http://members.optushome.com.au/jay51/our%...5-32/Instru.JPG Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7905-nismo-white-speedo-backlit-colour/#findComment-115452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs73 Posted December 28, 2002 Author Share Posted December 28, 2002 I'm talkin 'bout matching Nismo speedo at night and Trust white face boost gauge at night... since I think trust boost gauge backlight is not blue so they will match.

R33-JET Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 nismo dash is sexy at day and all but at night it lacks to light up all that good sometimes u cant even make out the numbers only my opinion also have new apexi electrical gauges that light up mad blue which look crazy at night Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7905-nismo-white-speedo-backlit-colour/#findComment-115772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
predator Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 I'm sure you can replace the bulb that illuminates the speedo, etc. How difficult is it to change actually? I don't mind the standard look dials, but they could do with a more interesting light colour. I can solder in something else easily enough.

So white face nismo will look great at daytime when I do my driving most. Secondly, the nismo speedo lights up in greenish backlit, so I won't buy Apexi boost gauge coz I don't want one thing light up in blue and don't match up with others. So I will go with Trust white face boost gauge, which has the similar colour with Nismo backlit at night. I'm sure someone mentioned this in other thread I can't seem to find which one again. Anyway, my car's wine red so theme-wise I don't feel it will match well with apexi's glowing blue lights at night... so my choice are fix: Nismo speedo & Trust gauge combination... thx everyone for the input.

Does your Nismo speedo cluster comes with all the warning lights like ABS, HICAS,etc? Since it is meant to be for a GT-R, if installed on a GTS-t, will the ATESSA (4 WD system) warning light comes on????

400HP Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 RS73 - I wanted to match my nismo white faced gauges to a boost gauge so I got the Trust one and yes they match.... almost identical. Have a look... nismo dash is sexy at day and all but at night it lacks to light up all that good sometimes u cant even make out the numbers only my opinion also have new apexi electrical gauges that light up mad blue which look crazy at night Not to be rude but I think that the nismo dash is crystal clear at night and better than the standard gauges. ALso if you look at the pictures above even in the VERY BLURRED background image of the dash I can make out the numbers. I've had the nismo ones in pretty soon after I got the car and they are clearer than almost any other car. Like RS73 I didn't want green gauges and blue light cos it looks like a circus. Does your Nismo speedo cluster comes with all the warning lights like ABS, HICAS,etc? Since it is meant to be for a GT-R, if installed on a GTS-t, will the ATESSA (4 WD system) warning light comes on???? As far as I know all nismo dashes for the R33 GTR are the same except for the white/black combos. And no the warning light does not come on because I believe its for the Active LSD (correct me if I'm wrong) which is only for the Vspec GTR.

rs73 Posted December 29, 2002 Author Share Posted December 29, 2002 thx 400hp, I've been lookin for that pic somewhere. I can't think where you put your boost gauge.... pillar mount should be on the right, or you mount it somewhere to the left of the steering wheel? Or your car is left hand drive?

400HP Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 Nah my car is right hand drive... I'm in Sydney dude The boost gauge is mounted on the steering column covering part of the speedo. I don't really care as it only covers 220km/hr - 320 which you won't see often in Australia anyway... I thought about it heaps where i was gona mount it. I didn't wanna get defected for the A-pillar and didn't want to drill. Anyway I'm happy with it., Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7905-nismo-white-speedo-backlit-colour/#findComment-115935 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs73 Posted December 31, 2002 Author Share Posted December 31, 2002 INASNT, I'm after the 320km/h speedo from Nismo, which has greenish colour backlight (the numbers only). So Apexi EL gauge is out of the question, and I am going with Trust gauge as the backlight colours match the Nismo speedo nicely as shown by 400HP's picture above....
