I want to change out the gauge faces since I got tired of looking at the plain gauges...so did some googling & came across this website
S13 Silvia / 180sx Gauge Faces (http://www.importintelligence.com/FMPro?-DB=cart.fp3&-Format=Silvia.html&-Token=32958&-RecID=32958&CustID=Silvia&-Error=index.html&-Edit)


I want to get the gauge faces in white. Red cluster bulb & red needle?
What do you guys think?

any other opinion/advices or better websites?
Thanks

this forum gets really mean when people dont search for old threads that have the info you need. the good thing is that this forum also has a thread with info on how to do pretty much anything to a 240.. gl man

I did it on mine some years ago. These come from Birba. Very nice quality.

You have to pop off the plastic cover with the buttons etc & then there are 3 screws, easy sauce!!

Why? Do you actually think a higher numeric reading on the tach will do anything? KA redlines at 6500. SR, like 7500. Unless you've built something serious you're never going to rev past 8000 anyway.

But if you're just one of those flashy fuckers who likes dumb shit, by all means get one.

Give me $1 and I'll show you a person who wrote a DIY for the cluster removal.
