im pretty sure you guys have come across this, but ive got a question, to put this into my gsr... what would happen with the turbo light.. are there dials i can get that have the turbo light spot as well or no..

also, that speedo goes up to 240, whereas mine goes up to 180 as its a j spec... does that mean i have to get my speed limiter removed if i ever wanted to go past 180.. not that i would :roll:

thanks Peter

Hey Peter, these are just faces for the current speedo in your car - the needle will move as it does now, if you fit white faces the internals of the speedo will still function the same therefore when you are doing say 80km/h the white face may say you are doing 140km/h!

oh ok richard.. so i would need to get it recalibrated..

they look good, but i want the turbo light... lol

I heard they look really crap at night.. Unless he change how it prints them ...

 

[olly]

yeap at night, some parts are dark which makes it look tacky imo.. its due to the instruments behind the dials..

just change the globes inside your cluster to white LEDs.........

there is a guy on GSR/CYBORG that has done it in his C73A http://www.gsrcyborgclub.org/viewtopic.php?t=79

find a 2nd cluster and i'll show you how to make glow gauges

wide angle LED's work well too

those cheap ebay ones are crap, i bought a set for my run around car and ended up tossin it away, its just a thin piece of plastic paper, it goes over your existin dials

 

[p3akin]

ok you sent that twice, and 2nd cluster cause if ya *** it up you still have a working one lol! i'll get more picks up when i take them. just a warning they will stick out like dogs balls at night!

Yeah stay away from those EBay ones. Held a set in my hands and seen them on my brothers car and they are cheapo plastic crap, nothing like the good EL ones you can get. Those EBay ones are a total rip-off at $79 IMO. They come across to me like they were printed out on thick photo quality paper and then cut out (probably cost 79 cents to make :lol: ), plus they lookd fukd at night :roll: If anyone is offended by my statement as a consumer, f%&*# you :lol:

 

[JayRome]

and what you guys think of home made ones? cheaper.....

sorry bad pik quality came off cell, but thats takin from just past the rear of the car and its still that bright.....

 

[EVOCPE]

dependin on where you have lights in your cluster, my old verada had them in front of the dials and the light shown on the white and it loked good, but the cc lancer are behind the dials and the light doesnt come through

what did u use to make them dials??

 

[Richard]

I hate lit up dials, I always have to resistor thingy set to the darkest setting! the white face look is ok but it make s the guages a bit in your face

 

[p3akin]

haha jay rome thats bright as, you wear sunnys at night??

 

[JayRome]

lol, nah you get used to em, plus i got HID's so your eyes adjust to both bright things... and i can dimm the blue so no big deal for me....
