There already is a set avail. but they don't look that hot. I can't remeber who makes em but the lines/space that allows the light to shine through is too wide/white so they look funky.

I don't mean to rip on Ngthing's guages....its just that one from avalon look soooooooo TIGHT! Its hard to see in the pic cuz its from a distance but check out the "8" on the rpm guage. You can see how it looks like a big black outline and white in the middle even during the day.



Now the team from Avalon wanted to get some numbers to see what the reaction is to their guages. They would make em for us if they see the demand. Remember....they're not some general aftermarket co. but rather specificaly with nissan. That means there is a good chance that with some real interest that they will make em. Here is a sample from the current 4th gen production.





The cost of the 4th gen I belive is under 100 bucks. I just want a quality piece if I do it.

How would buy?

I would!

 

are they the cheap *** overlays, or are they the actual guages

 

If you mean leave on the current black face....NO. You would remove the black peices and add these. That means the parts would look more like 3 squares.

 

Are these completly customizable? can you get them in different colors n stuff? the ones i was considering buying are the custom ones from MMR(mmrusa.com) they are $95.

 

I'd get them...whatever the price!

 

Do the original 4th gen SE gauges really say
"Caution - race fuel only"?

 

I got those overlays from ngthing also, and I guess they don't look too bad. My HUGE problem is that my guages no longer work, (well most of them anyways). When pulling off the needles to do the overlays, some of the steel pins came out too, thus when I put them back together, there is too much friction and the needles don't turn as freely as they should. Ay ideas? I colored my needles blue also, and they are too dark to see at night.

If I can't get this fixed, I am trying to find some '92-'94 SE guages from an automatic. I think those would fit. Any idea?

 

Isaacm,

No.....the 92-94se guages won't work. Well.....they may physically work(or may not) but the speedo and tach would be off. Their tach redlines at 6500 vs. ours at 6K and the mph goes up to 145 vs. our 125.

Even if the guages did work(they may not beacuse the tranny is different....different vss most likely)you would get inaccurate readings.

I have ngthings overlays laying in my room. I need to get some 92-94 gxes gauges to put them on. What should I be careful of when taking off the needles?

 

No...that was done for the prototype...at least that's what Avalon Racing said. They don't really say it on the standard gauges though.

 

All you need are 89-91 SE gauges. those are white, w/ same motor.
