Aftermarket JDM Cluster lots of Pics may be included
 

Hello Rotards, today i will share with you some options about S5 JDM rx7 Gauge clusters. Im creating this thread because 1...i didnt want to shit on someone elses thread..and 2 i could have sworn i had this conversation about this particular gauge before. SOOO here it is...im sure a few are trying to source these so im here to help.


The following only is applicable for S5 TII clusters in Kmph.

These gauges are faces and pretty pricey at that, and made by a japanese company called cyber-stork

You can get them in several different letters and backing combination as well as carbon for some added price. The needles are also provided by cyber-stork and can be orderd with several other colors. (Sold seperatly from the faces) overall you probably are going to spend roughly $80-$100 USD. I will provide links so you can drool.

Among the color change are style changes as well
Street Custom Style (actual FC cluster not pictured but you get the idea)

VIP Premium Style (they come with little jdm jewls rofl)

**NOTE** ebay has some cyber-stork faces for sale, but if you cant manage to buy needles from them i can show you how to make your stock needles glow. OR you can use miata needles as they are clear type fit on FCs and can show dash backlighting.

Examples
White Face + Red Character /w Alluminum Bezle and Cluster Ring

Clear Glass (good replacement for old scuffed dash glass)

There are some other items that you can get from them as well, but they are not so significant in the american market.

Hope you are little less ignorant now, so now you know.....AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!

i like the white face with orange markers, would be a nice alternative, its just our faces light up in front on the face which looks like crap imo.. unless you can light it up from the rear....


The ultimate compliment tho is when your aftermarket gauges match your cluster.. none of this autometer crap and trying not to mix and match your gauges .. lol

I had some overlays in my 240sx by http://importintelligence.com/index.html im sure they could make some for the FC they would just need a donated cluster

i had importintelligence in my s14 also

I have been looking for these forever thanks for the links. :D

I want those cup holders in the last picture.

Hoooly crap that is sick.

Damn it, why must everything come in KM/H and not miles.

Anyone know if there is a way to retrofit theses onto a US-spec FC??

Hahaha??? Most of the aftermarket cluster's i've seen besides jap parts are in mph.

Thanks for the link! I'll probly get something setup from them. Been looking forever for a decent gauge setup in km's. Can you tell me if there's an english language switch button on the site? I wouldn't be able to order on there worth shit.

Nice clusters!!! I wound mind the cup holders too!!!

Nice! A black faced with white lettering with silver rings and red needles will look right at home with my defi bf gauges.

I'm really not a fan of white-faced gauges, but I really like those black ones with the white lettering. :icon_tup:

Agreed! :icon_tup::icon_tup:

I like the black face/white lettering but I think I'd probably end up going with a black/red combo....

How could you order from that site, its all in jap.

RHDjapan and several other people have contact with cyber-stork, as well as their products being sold on EBAY. I am sure purchasing any items from them is easier than you think.

I don't see any cup holders.

lol...look closely

So i have a jspec and am in aus so kph is fantastic for me, how would i go about aquiring one of these dash's?

fuck that mess, i want those cup holders.

me too!

cup holders or nothing!

yah. i dont care how the gauges look. i want cupholders.

ok so why will these only fit in s5's? and where can i buy these?!?!? i went to the cyberstork page but its not english!

How much is that?

$30USD for clear panel

$62USD for clear panel with tint.

its not written in plain english, but is coded as such. all the links have english names. scroll through the links and lkook at the bottom to see where each link goes. from there you can pretty much navigate the whole site.

s5 gauges may be more common in japan? would be more $$$/risky if they produced S4 and S5, NA and turbo gauges.. that alone would be 4 additonal gauge sets on top of whatever they offer, and those S4/S5 NA applications would probably be a small market

Thanks for posting those links.. I think I might pick a few thinks up.

not to mention s4/s5 only usa.

if i were them

id tell people here your sol, and fuck off.

Hey WingsofWar,

You said originally you can use Miata needles. How does that work? Are they the same size/weight as FC ones?

So i didnt get an answer, how would u go about purchasing one of these dash's im actually pretty interested

black looks nice hmmm...

I thought that was mentioned already? Naturally you're going to need a japanese/english person or company willing to help you out. RHDjapan.com comes to mind, so I would shoot them an e-mail.

correct RHDjapan as contact with them, you may also get incontact with their USA supplier off ebay.

oh look this took 2 mins to find.

Seriously, regarding these gauges i have already answered all the questions previously in either my first post or around the first page.

About the Miata needles, they nearly weigh the same, the ones you want are from 96 model as their clear, the short needles on the miata are a bit shorter than the rx7 short needles, i dunno how much that will bug you, if i get a chance ill do a write up one of these days to swap in miata needles, but the best option is going with Cyberstork's needle film because its reflective and works well with LEDs.

**NEWS! THIS JUST IN**

Also, iv heard rumors from my special sources of another dash going to be built for JDM and USDM model S4 and S5 and S6. This is a full direct replacement cluster and does 360 sweep, which will go well with aftermarket gauges like DEFI AND it is said that this unit will have an idiot light board integrated into the cluster so you can delete the idiot light cluster on the dash to be freeed up for use. Cannot specify who will be making it at this time, but expect the price to be very hefty and probably not worth it unless it features datalogging compatibilities with most EMS. If it doesnt, your probably better off going with Stack.

Thanks for the info about miata needles. As long as it's accurate, I'm not to bothered by the small gauges being short. I have aftermarket gauges for everything but fuel level anyway.

The new cluster with full 360 sweep sounds pretty awesome, and something I've always wanted (as my other gauges sweep, self test) . But it doesn't actually exist though, still on the drawing board. If it's under 1000 it could sell, over and I don't think I'd do it. Thanks again.

yeah fc people are more than likely budget minded on these things, a new aftermarket replacement cluster probably wont sell too well..

i want a set in BLACK for a s5 with red glow needles..

pm me if you can get them...

More pics of cup holders or provide the nudes or else this thread fails..
