Started re-doing my gauges

Eventually all of my gauges will be replaced, but for now i started with the coolant temp gauge, took the factory cluster apart and removed the OE gauge and put in a Glowshift elite 10 color one. Looks sweet! Can't wait to do the rest! Lemme know what yall think

You just need an electronic sender that ties into your tranny.

Oh ok gotcha that's cool. takes that 85 mph max out of the loop and makes the cluster look a lot better too.

i'm not even going to mess with that. speedhut sells a GPS speedometer in their revolution series that you can customize the backlighting and put a logo on, and its accurate within 1mph. I'm going to do the matching speedo and tach with probably a nismo logo or something. And when i get all of the gauges ready to wire in. I will do a full write-up and post it on here, zcar.com, and hybridz.org

So did you ever finish with upgrading all the gauges? Did glowshift gauges fit in the spots for the dash gauges such as the clock?
