In before Broadfield.

[costa_rican13]

yea, broadfield....

[krash]

Broadfield ftw

[Broadfield]

I'll post up something other than my old setup in my S13 that everyone has seen a million times. A couple that I have done... and a few other pieces:

I need a new pair of pants...

As always Broadfield, your work is awesome and top notch. I've been thinking about doing a cluster like the first 3 you posted there. Only, I want to tint the lens and use defi gauges. That way you can't just look into the car and see them and I'm sure you'd be able to see them when they light up through the tinted lens.

Yeah, I have a cool idea to do a gauge setup behind smoked plexiglass in the cluster... but I haven't had a customer pay me to do it yet. It would be the same smoked plexi that I used on the Sti vent gauge in my examples above and the S13 cluster shroud with the push button start... which has a digital fuel gauge behind smoked plexi on the left side. I would actually not tint the OEM front glass, but instead do a layer of smoked plexi right over my standard gauge plate.

How much do you usually sell your clusters for and do they just mount right in?

I'm not a paying vendor on here anymore, so you would need to contact me through email or find my for sale threads else where if you want to discuss pricing. I don't want to step on anyone's toes here.

@Broadfield: your products are top-notch! I may have you make me some chuki fender extentions if I cant find anyone so sell me a pair...


To stay on topic I just scored an NX digital cluster!!!

Uh yeah, that won't happen. That's not the type of work I do for people. Can I do it for myself... sure. But the time involved to make a mold and all of that jazz just to produce a set is mind boggling. Not to mention I would need an original set to mold off of.

Sorry to hear that

The whole digital thing is kind of cool, but those things don't ever look finished properly because they don't fit right.

You're MUCH better of finding a real set. Like BF said, he'd need a pair to make a mold out of anyway. Plus then the mold will be useless to him afterwards since no one really needs this made. Plus time time time to get it right. all this will be expensive for you. And you can just snag some from a junkyard for like 5 bucks.

I know, I know... I'm just frustrated because I can't find any in my area. Its to the point where I just want my pignose back! Anyway, /threadjack:

Yeah the cluster doesn't fit EXACTLY right but it's just plain clean! (no offense to Broadfield Almighty ) But knowing me ill probably rock it for a few months and try something else...

[krash]

S13 Digital cluster is better :P

[s13sickboi]

S13 Digital cluster is better :P

Meh, I'll stick to needles and standard gauges. Don't get me wrong, they're nice! I want something a little different.

[PANDAemic]

Some of the other nissan digi clusters are pretty nice, like the old sentra one. But I'd just stuck with the standard needles and numbers...

That's pretty much what I did. Please excuse the sh***yness, it was just a mockup that I never got to re-do because of my motor woes.

And don't worry, the boost controller has since been moved and the oem ash tray was put back in its place
