Alright I hope we all know of Matt @ ImportIntelligence.com. If not check it out. Anyways, I saw that you can get custom faces done at a extra fee. Go to <a href="http://www.bee.net/a2low240/gauges/installs.html" target='_blank'>http://www.bee.net/a2low240/gauges/installs.html</a> to see what I am talking about.

Problem is I cant think of a design that would go good with my 240SX. I kind of like the first one with the blue and white &quot;lightning effect&quot; but its just not for me. My plan is to use some Blue Flake and Silver Flake Gauges that he offers, so if anyone has any ideas they could give me as to what kind of design to do on the gauges then please help me out! Even better, if your an artist draw some up! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

PS: I dont want nothing ricey looking, so keep the idea's clean please. The lightning one below is kinda to wild for me too.

Here is an example... get creative!


THANKS!

how bout getting a silhoutte of ur car on the guages
that might be hot.

Grant

is it just faces? and is it just me or is the s14b's gauges different? s14a's have oval guages and s14b's have round ones right?

matic 240sx

dude those half carbon fiber and half white are BAD!! &nbsp;I want those, how much does he want for custom ones?

West

They only cost about 35 or so, maybe more for custom. I dont like the black/white because it makes the gauge kinda hard to read.

matic 240sx

yea true, but they would look phat for show. &nbsp;those metal flakes are bad too. &nbsp;hey, you think if you asked him could he make those half/half guages for a 240 and fill in the rest of the guage? &nbsp;like to 145 mph... that would be sooooo phat! &nbsp;i dont have a gov.

matic 240sx

dude, the blue needles they sell are bad too! &nbsp;im gonna have to pick those soon

Well here's my 2cents...

I think unless you go indiglo....don't do anything. &nbsp;
I like 'em simple....

West

Noone sells Ingiglo for the 95+ 240SX.

Yeah, I know...that's the unforunate thing.

I'm still hoping that one day someone will grace us with that product. &nbsp;I see lots of preludes and integs with them and it is SOOOO unfair that we can't have them!

Grant

well i kinda wish i had the stock white on black gauges for my 240sx SE. It would match the interior more than the white gauges i have now.

West

I think I will order the normal silver flake and if I dont want it I will stick with the stock white gauges then paint the outer trim silver. Thanks everyone!

Hey Grant, I'll trade you my white-on-black for your black-on white. &nbsp;You've got an S14a right? &nbsp;1995?

kerv

Check this one out.

those are SWEEEEET!!!

anybody had experience with these? &nbsp;I'm thinking of buying them but i've read some posts and some ppl say they are REALLY hard to install. &nbsp;Does anybody have these?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>? &nbsp;Any comments/<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>??

I decided to just get the Silver Metal Flake with no special custom work done. I also ordered the IntelliGlow Needles. I will write up a install once I get everything.

I have installed the Gauges before on my old s13 and it was tedious but worthwhile. For the $ they are excellent pieces.

Here is a picture of them installed on the old 91 240sx. Notice I broke the little black cover of the Fuel needle while trying to take the needles off.

West, I think simple is the best. &nbsp;Especially with cars like ours. &nbsp;gud choice. &nbsp;

About them needles...Can you please post the steps. &nbsp;I have the same car as urs. &nbsp;If you could add details like where you had difficulty i.e. &nbsp;I hear taking the needles off are a [email protected]#$% that would be wonderful. &nbsp;

On your recommendation i'm gonna put in an order....wish me luck

West

We should get them about the same time then. I will install them when I have a free weekend and then post some pics. I will be out of town this monday-friday so I will install them next sat when I get back. I will take pics of the install and everything for everybody <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Too bad I'm late on the subject... Thought it might be neat to get these in silver metallic with the nissan logo in blue metallic under the speedo needle and the 240sx logo under the tach needle. Then again, I like simplicity as well...

Simplicity is a very good thing in cars these days. I thought about doing a small Nissan Logo under the tach or speedo but though it might look funny :\ O well. Silver should be cool enough with the Blue needles <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Thanks!

JJ

Heh, yeah, I've noticed! Then again, I've been a fan of the quiet &quot;sleeper&quot; more than the big wing, outrageous body kit, custom lights look. Though I did see a couple of S13s in the galllery at, I believe 240sx.com with an interesting headlight mod on em. True, logos might look a tad outta place and clutter the thing up... However, I wonder if it's possible to do the numbers\lines\letters etc. in blue and have the rest all silver? That, I think, wouldn't look funny at all.

JJ

Here's some pics of those headlights... They look a little weird, but I like the idea.

Well i kinda want full carbon fiber ones for my car (if they look real, not the fake painted ones), and I really wish I had reverse indiglo. VancouverS14, I don't think I'd want to trade. my tach needle is broken I think (it bounces going from 3-4k rpm) and is kinda of a pain in the ass to ship from south california, to canada (i live like 35 min from the mexican border)

transient

whoa... those headlights remind me of the old Datsun! What i'd really like to do is get some headlights that look like the z32's headlights. Not projection, I want the whole plastic enclosure.

JJ

Get out the jigsaw and cut some plexiglass!
