Changed the color of my digital dash to red
3 Attachment(s)
Well, here it is! I took the whole dash apart, and replaced all the green filters with red ones. This is MUCH easier on my eyes at night. I couldn't get the outline on the pods red, but that's something not remotely easy to do, plus I like how the green and red look together!
It took about 6 hours total with blood and sweat to get the desired result, however, had I known exactly how much to use, it would have only taken 2 hours. Here is a link to the filter I bought. One layer will achieve the look I have in the pictures. Matches the red interior PERFECTLY! http://www.ebay.com/itm/331458175643?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT And PICS!

Looks super hectic mate. Makes me wish I had a digi dash, but it would be a major PITA to swap one in....

Oh yeah? Are you a member or the Z club in washington? I just bought mine, want to get it running again before I join. What year model color do you have? Is it by any chance red? I saw a red 87+ a while back in seattle!
Mine is a white 86 turbo |

Did you have help getting the dash back in or did you heave it yourself?
I scratched the columns coming down the sides of the windshield a trifle when I was fitting mine back in. It is a good heave hoo to do it by one's self. |

Looks great man, did you leave the factory green filters in too?, or did you lay the red right ontop of the lcd?
I want to change mine to blue someday. |

The digital speedo is great very accurate, but the tach is kind of a joke :106:

Interesting...what makes you say that? It's a visual representation of where most of your power is, isn't it?
I prefer a 5 " gauge. |
If you think the z31 rpm tach is useless, you should see a s130 digital one! Slow as molasses, but I love it!!!

Yea , .. but the tack graph seems to lag a second behind the actual engine rev's . harder to pick up what it is reading, to catch it before the redline .
I prefer a 5 " gauge. That being said, it seems almost instant, maybe it's a problem with some of them? |
