Anyone know where I can get dials like these or know if they are any good ? All of these ones don't seem to fit the layout of a Jap Spec Turbo.

thanks for any info

There was reicently a GP on these on IMOC by EL.

Have a look down the list, there are a few pics on there too.

Here are a few Pics on Dino's site :EL Dials

they look good, but they are the wrong way round for Jap Spec.

Also.. what is a GP ?

[TheNissanMan]

Group Piurchase, same as GB Group Buy...

More people buy the more discount :D

[Jimlad]

( and why am I the only person who lost there user info with all this forum pap going on ? Everyone else seems fine... hmmmph!)

Everyone who resigstered after August got lost.....

Dials look nice.

You can buy them in uk format from speedhut in the USA

http://www.speedhut.com

You get the option of customising too.

damn i wish i knew about these. They look sweeter than the lockwoods i put on!

[John R]

Are the glowing dials easy to fit?

[Kelvyn]

Apparently very simple fit, I understand they just stick over the top of the existing dials, no need to even remove the needles.

[T-bar]

bet they don't do them for the mk1

If you can get an order for I think it's 25 sets speedhut will do the tooling. Might be worth cavassing on the forum to see if you can find another 24 people interested in them

ok.... just bought this baby from Matt at Rogue Systems....

EL Glow Dials... also with a nice little boost gauge in the middle.

oh.. and this thingy...

Finally my search for funky dials has come to an end.... :)

Thanks again Matt !!

[Jimlad]

I just thought...

the speedo there is really KPH with a new dial face to match MPH.

Erm.... so will my total mileage now have to be converted into KMs again ?

The Apexi meter takes the speed limit off the car, but is there anything I can do to keep the total mileage etc in miles ?

[Dame]

Nothing unless you fit an extra gear to drive the speedo in MPH - though you would have to take off the replacement face first.....

[Dame]

Also, just curious is that a twin needle boost gauge? I can't see any other way you could get the two readings?

[Jimlad]

about the boost gauge.. I dunno mate... don't know much about gauges etc... I've seen some like that before which only have 1 needle. Also it's a good make gauge.

As for the MPH/KPH thingy.... I might just end up taking out the gauge and putting it in my motor.. then selling the rest. Dunno yet.

Undecided.... not sure if I want the mileage to be read in kph..... mm..... I'm fussy... lol

I'll prob just end up losing out on some £££.... but I'll get my eBay rating up.... lol :D

[Bibbs]

The Boost Guage is identical to mine - in the same location ..

Same readings too ..

[Daron]

Can I ask?, I bought my MR2 a few months back. I've never had a turbo before so dont really know what to expect or look for.

I have the little gauge in the middle and it doesnt seem to move very much, there is 2 little lines quite close to the bottom and the needle hardly moves past the highest line, seems like a waste of the rest of the dial. Just wanted to know if this was normal or if indeed my turbo is <I thought I could get past the swearing filter - what a sad muppet I am eh?>ed???

Maybe Ive been watching too many Fast & Furious films and expect the little fella (needle) to be whipping around all over the place!! I dunno?

[Jimlad]

Hi mate...

If you have a turbo, then the needle should move... when you floor it, it should move to the top of the gauge.

If it just sits there, then something is wrong.

[Jimlad]

The Boost Guage is identical to mine - in the same location ..

Same readings too ..

do you like it mate ?

[Spiralize]

This guy makes custom dial sets. His works very good, and worth a try if you want something personalised: www.skewer.co.uk

[Jimlad]

his site doesn't work mate.....

[Jimlad]

I'm still unsure about having my total mileage in KM..... instead of Miles.

Dunno what I'll do... soon see tomorrow when it arrives.
