Well i messed up my gauges putting my gauge faces on the fuel works, but temp doesnt work and the tach goes really slow and i dont even know if its accurate anymore. i dont even want to mess with that stuff again so im going to get 52mm gauges. a tach, water temp, and volt or something if i want 3. i have a few options. btw all the gauges are glowshift. plz dont tell me theyre crap. this is just a placement poll. heres my interior. im trying to keep it clean 52mm gaugeshttp://www.glowshiftdirect.com....aspxDigital tachhttp://www.glowshiftdirect.com....aspxDigital Temphttp://www.glowshiftdirect.com....aspx

That's why you shouldn't remove needles. If you pull it out too hard or push it too hard, that happens and it doesn't work anymore. Get a new cluster and do it again.

Very clean.Move the radio down a spot and put the gauges where the radio was.

no offense but no s*** i know that now. thats why im an idiot because i didnt do my research before ripping them off. ive been looking for a new cluster. but everyone i find is so expensive. plus i run the risk of ruining the second one.

i do not have a write up but it was very simple. just pull off the panel. pick a spot where you want the tweeters. mark it. drill a large whole and attach the tweeter. i put the crossover in the door panel pocket because i covered my door already with sound deadener. it would look cleaner in the door though. all the wiring is a pain is the a**

i was thinking about doing this. but i dont think 3 gauges will fit with the autometer angled rings below or on top of the radio

i love how many people fail at ricing their gauges.

NEVER remove the needles

and glowshift sucks. thats why youll hear people say "glowshift sucks"

your interior is "clean" as in vacuumed well. i do not call it "classy clean" as in something fresh, new, but NOT ricey.

on the positive side, your execution is great, im just not a fan of what parts you actually put on.

I dont like aftermarket tachometers, I would get a used one and then do the gauges in the vents.

Anyone wants to pull out the needles, get a couple of extra clusters and do it.

i have a dohc digital cluster im thinking of selling because i went aftermarket. i did buy glowshift and they suck the balls mad. but i dont like the digital cluster either. (it was on the datsun) and i have a sohc 240

save me the trouble of making a for sale thread, im just tired.

the interior is sex, you could have just swapped bulbs on your cluster and called it a day. not my car tho....you learned the hardway. nico is trying to save you from learning another lesson when you buy glowshift....

That interior looks awesome even with the non-working gauges. But I bet I'd scrape the headliner with my forehead with those seats.

seats are evo knock offs. they came in the car so w.e. the last owner bought rails to go with them and said they sat so high that he made is own instead. its still kinda high. im like 5 11. but i slouch while im driving so i could still easily wear a helmet if i went to the track eventually.
