Once you touch the needle, it will pretty much never be the same again. That's what most of the people on here that have done any kind of gauge work say.

Dude..... doing the glow gauges is by far the WORST thingn I've done to the Z!!!!!!! It's true, once you touch does needles it'll NEVER be the same. My temp. And speedometer Gauges stopped working. The fuel gauge was so f*cked up that when the tank was on empty the needle was on half tank! Now I've being searching for a cluster gauge since and by far no luck. I have learned that Nissan made more than 4 different clusters for Z's.... As of right now my Z is running with a 93 AT n/a cluster gauge and everything works except the speedometer.

Oh and today I went to the junk yard and found a TT Z that was wrapped around a tree and took the gauges out thinking they would work... and when I plugged them in I found out that whoever owned that Z had done the exact same sh*t I did!!! They removed the needles to change the gauges for km/h and kg/cm^2 and they are all f*cked up too.....however he/she did do the led covertion to red color so I took those out. So what I'm trying to say is that you'll never gt those back to what they used to be...so your f*cked like me

damn well will the gas light still come on when its low?

wat about rpm. i mean the rpm looks fine it idles right at 1 like it did before....grrrr i wish i never did that :/

[Ace2cool]

grrrr i wish i never did that :/

It's the z's way of telling you it doesn't like rice-a** gauge modifications. :

[ffrpwner]

haha probably!! the thing that kills me is i liked the way it looked until it was in the car and it was annoying bright at night so i took it out next day..wat a waste

[lionheart1028]

Well I haven't touched my gauges at all and the other day my speedo was acting strange. It started randomly when I was cruising at about 40 mph and it was jumping between 20-40 mph for about ten mins and then it started working fine again and hasnt done it since.

[ffrpwner]

my speedo doesnt even start moving till i shift to second or if im going like 15 or 20mph...im starting to learn it though so ill replace eventually

[85cartagena]

The Gas light will come on, but if you wait for this to happend you might be far from a gas station. You can try messing with your speedometer needle by moving it counterclockwise to try to get it to start when you start moving, but other than that good luck finding a cluster. Just make sure that you know what part number youre cluster is!!! itll make it so much easier. the part number is usually on top of the cluster and it should start with "44P05" or "00P32" somthing like that.

did you remove the needle or is it the king of gauges that you just slip over the needle if its the kind that slip over i would make sure the face is not touching the needle and keeping it from mooving thats what was hapining with mine and I just took them off

[ffrpwner]

thats wat was happening to mine to so i took it off....only during this the needles got abused alittle...it didnt occur to me that i would be messing anything up.....i didnt like the gauges at night ne way they were two bright!

[Z31toZ32]

grrrr i wish i never did that :/

do you consider gauge rings rice? i suppose they fit the definition, but they look clean imo.

[ffrpwner]

i have them now instead and i think they look so much better its not rice at all

the glow gauges i bought were ment to be put on wothout removing the needles but it was impossible to put them on without taking off the needles.

[Initial_Z]

So this problem still occur even after you removed the glow face ?

I've never really noticed any difference with mine. I even checked my crusing speed with GPS.

No, those are a very subtle addition to the stock cluster. I think gauge rings look great.

yes...the damage occured when the needles were first removed to be able to put the glow gauges on.

You were NOT supposed to remove the needles in the first place. That's the most common mistake people make when they install glow gauge faces. You have to slide them in. If you think you can't, cut some of the non-LED pattern and try it again.

hi, if you see this, which shift knob do you have? im assuming from the pic you have an auto? does it have the OD as well?

thanks
