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.

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)

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

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.

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

First, I won't be doing much night driving, mostly day only.

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.

Hey Jay...

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????

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...

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.

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.

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?

Nah my car is right hand drive... I'm in Sydney dude :P

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.,

u have to pull out the whole dash console to get to the bulbs!

if u want the apexi boost gauge to match your dash get the EL dash kit like mine.

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....

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
