Any comments or opinions will help me greatly in my decision.

 

Check this out man and see what you think. What I am going to do is change out the bulbs behind the cluster to piaas like this person did. I think it looks alot better than indiglo. http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg...msg_id=1390659

 

whoa! thats awsome!! im going to do that too!! it still looks like stock, which i perfer over indiglos....

 

I don't trust anyone that has a BuyItNow at $15 and the minimum bid at $14.99. Plus $12 shipping? I somehow think you can do better.

 

WOW! How did he do that ? Is it me or does the Climate Control looks all light up, like the screen, I want that.

 

What bulbs do you use? It is a different color that the stock bulbs

 

Do not, I repeat, Do not get those indiglos.
that switch is huge and a pain in the *** to place.
I've installed a similiar setup in someones car before and it sucks.
that switch is cumbersome, hard to operate and not insulated. He's told me that he's shocked himself on it quite a few times. He installed it under the steering column in his car. So when blindly reaching for switch he's accidently touched the back.

 

Alright thanks guys. You have made my decision. Oh yeah, that guy that did that told me he's going to do a write-up on it..

 

That looks sweet. I'm adding it to my to-do list.

 

so is it a bad idea to get any of the gauges off of ebay??

 

no not a bad idea just be sure you know what you're getting into.
i bought mine off of ebay. they work fine.

 

Hmm I guess it's just luck of the draw. Which ones did you buy Rizz?

heres the ones id like to get

 

Ew, I don't like those. I feel they are too, may I say, "Honda" for me. I like the ones I showed for the fact they look stock enough, just the colors are inversed. I'm looking into doing what that guy did on TT.net. But hey, to each his own right?

 

LOL
the electroluminescent ones are the ones I got.
although, i will say, i've been thru about 3 sets of gauges and the oil pressure gauge is always the wrong shape. Shame you can't cut them to size without interrupting the circuit.
I think i paid like 7 bucks for mine or close to it. Mine only come with an on/off paper thin switch.
I used to have the 6 color indiglo ones but the transformer burnt out. The indiglo ones are the solid green or blue ones that MFZ first provided a link to. the ones i had, had 3 different shades of green and blue tho. It was controlled by a paper thin switch with two buttons to cycle thru the color options and brightness of the gauges.

 

hmmm. i thought those were some of the better ones.
i dont like the ones that have the dumb designs on the inner circle:

Ew, I prefer stock gauges over most aftermarket. There was a thread on 300zxclub.com on people wanting to convert there needle colors to white. I would like to do that..

 

I have a pair of C2 autmeter guages. One came with the car(boost guage) and both have never been used. They light up blue though. Anyone think this would look wierd with stock guages? They would be mounted on the A pillar. I am debating on selling them and getting some with a black face.

 

Yah, I think they would look perfectly fine. There pretty expensive to begin with...

 

i like those autometer cobalt gauges...thats probably what i will end up getting

my dream gauges are the Blitz DC II ones...they are soo freakin sweet, but at 200 a piece plus a head unit thing...i cant find a 60 mm gauge pod for them either

 

I was looking for 60mm pods too because some guages only come in that size but can't find any. I guess the 52mm could be dremeled out to 60mm.

 

i looked at my 52mm gauge pod and i dont think it can be widened
i think sgp has the option of 52 or 60, but i havent looked farther into it

 

these are mine from ebay the boost and a/f too. just on off no color changes. i just put a little switch on the side of the steering column.
