Gauge Cluster Swap Suggestions
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


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

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.
