S13 Custom Cluster

[Monooxide]

I made a custom cluster out of 4 Defi 52mm, 1 Defi 80mm and 2 52mm Cyberdyne. I used the Stock Cluster Shell and put a piece of 3mm 2x2 Twill Carbon in to mount every thing too. Instead of writing out everything, Ill let you make assumptions of how I did things...like whether I melted the hot glue with a waffle iron or a microwave.

Yes...I know...I destroyed a S13 Digital Cluster. I'M SORRY!

Other than that, it looks f'n SICK, i'm currently working on a full autometer cluster.

[YoungGun]

Sweet! Looks really good, where did you get that piece of twill carbon? I want to make a gauge bezel.

[rps13sr20det]

very very jealous!!! very crafty

[ScottMan]

Very cool! +Rep. I was working on this with BFs and had the same kinda idea with the Cyberdyne gauges. I was planning on doing speedo on the other one though. Awesome job!

[CKAMC]

tint the plastic, I have seen it done before on some toyota's with LED display and it looks great!

[mrmephistopheles]

send me the bag of legos.

[camry]

pretty cool, the light looks like they are too bright or it should just be the pics.

[Monooxide]

I am doing this as well but the only thing is I wanna keep the odometer on there. Any ideas?

I would personally rewire the Odometer down maybe into the under plastic below the steering wheel maybe? Just lengthen the wires, I'm not sure how the signal to that electric motor is routed, I'm sure its through the speedometer, so you may have to keep that whole speedo assembly?

how did you make the fuel gauge work? what range of ohms is it?

It is a "Ford" range 0-70 Ohms which is like 4 Ohms off the Nissan range. It can read up to a 55 Gal tank and you calibrate it down to of course 15-16(depending on your opinion on usable fuel). Then it will read accurately.

Sweet! Looks really good, where did you get that piece of twill carbon? I want to make a gauge bezel.

It was like $80 shipped for that 24"x12"x2.7mm. http://compositeenvisions.com/

They look bright because theyre not dimmed. : )

[96Turbo]

so where did you put that switch panel, and what does it control??

[burnsauto]

very nice work mang. +rep

[Monooxide]

so where did you put that switch panel, and what does it control??

The switch panel is press fitted into where the center vents are. From left to right, Ignition, Push-to-Start, Coils and Injectors(when I go Electromotive soon), Accessories, Headlights and Blower Motor for now.

[T00ch]

[brokeAs240sx]

I wired it inline of the stock S13 Sending Unit.

[GSXRJJordan]

+rep for you ~ great choice of parts, great looking job. I love the digi gauges too, that's definitely on the list of things I'd like to do.

[mr_240sx]

wow thats awesome!!! good job!

[Jordan-S13-Silvia]

Now thats really cool. i like it.

[Andrew Bohan]

next make one out of your oklahoma blanket :2f2f:

[gregfarz78]

Looks real nice I'm going to do something similiar but probably with autometer gauges those digital ones are a little pricey

[highly responsive]

Is there a writeup on this yet? This is so badass.

[QuickSpoolSR]

so how much would you charge to make me one of those haha

[projekt_s13]

How are you still using your HUD if the main unit is in the bag O legos?

[ZilviaKid]

PLEASE MAKE A WRITEUP!!! this looks baller!

+ rep!

[.jrmyrmx]

thats really well done, congrats! also the tinting idea would be really cool, id like to see an example.

[TougeLabs]

You need to do a full write up of this man it looks killer!!Im really interested please deff do a write up +rep for life! :)

[s13 @ fullboost]

Wow I like it allot. that is something to show off =]

[wow-thats-a-cool-car]

I am doing this as well but the only thing is I wanna keep the odometer on there. Any ideas?

the odometer is wired off of the speedometer. On a HUD cluser if ther HUD stops working the Odometer stops working. So maybe theres a way to wire it to a aftermarket speedo

[finalimport]

Nice work keep it up !

[Flicktitty]

Looks great!

i really want to do something like this in the coupe but i have NO wiring experiance what so ever so i don't wanna ruin the new gauges.

[Future240]

Nice plus 1

[WISH ONE]

Way fresh! great work! make a few more.... Id buy one lol

[punxva]

[tracks13]

pure badass ftw

[S13_SideWayz]
