Gauges anyone?
I converting back to OEM equipment so does anyone want my old ones? They are cool but just not the look i want. Just gotta come pick'm up or pay for shipping. You will need a new speedo though, this one makes a bit of noise

I got a set of those lighted gauges also. But they will probably never get put on. Because of the 85 speedo, I have the 130 speedo, in 2 of my Z's. It would be cool to get the kph gauges, and have them calibrated like LWW. But they don't make the white face gauges for them yet. Not that I have found anyway.

Here is an older pic of the gauges I have currently. This pic was taken before my new carpet was installed. They are the white faced gauges, with my painted blue needles, with silver tips. And they light up indiglo blue. But I have never been completely satisfied with the poor lighting. I eventually want to sand guages completely, and spray flat black at the back of them. And see if that helps. Anyway this will give you an idea of my setup currently.

they bolt directly in, its easy, no calibartion, just the correct speedo gear in the tranny for your rear end ratio. my car is identicle to your guys', all that changes is the cluster and the oil pressure, its metric too. hey apollo, i would have those if you dont want, ill pay for shipping. ill send you a pm.

So wrecked did ask 1st, but if he dont want them then they are yours, shady. Keeping in mind that you will need a new speedo. Shoot, if you want i can just take the guages faces off . . .although its kinda of a pain.Wrecked?
