I was wondering will these gauges for for an 87 T2. I was thinking as I was sitting in my car, and looking at the pic, that my cluster is triangular around the oil temp and turbo, and these are circular. Does it really matter?

 

No, they are for a 1989 - 1991 model.
I don't recommend anyone ******* with their gauges.
The needles have to be pulled, and most likely they will get damaged during that procedure.

nope i didnt have to remove my needles they just slip over the stock ones

 

Ok I trust that they don't work, but I want to hear from some more people.

El nene so are those the same ones you got? and they work?

 

no i got the other ones that are just white and the glow just the numbers...they work great buy em try em if you dont like em trash em you still got your stocks...good luck bud

 

Thanks man for the help!

 

Here's mine, i didnt have to pull the needles off.
Picture is a little blurry but they are clean and bright
only problem iis that its terribly hard to see the needles
i wish they lit up

 

Yeah see I have a T2 so I need the turbo gauge also.... but thanks man!

 

they sell them for TII . . .

 

well when u buy them it will say turbo or non turbo just get the s4 turbo ones their the same price.

 

How did you do that?


-Ted

 

ok where did u get those I love those. and do those come with there own lighting switch or did u wire them in?

do they sell them for an 86' n/a

 

You can get those on ebay.....I painted my needels with neon paint and installed a small BLACK LIGHT to make them glow...

 

well all is required for them to be mounted is removing the stock screws on the gauges, then you slip the GLOW over the needle and thats it put your two screws on . Did that answer your question?

 

i put those on a talon for my buddy. i hated them. they were too bight. they woud almsot blind you at night... i like my nice orange stock glow...

 

Okay, so you don't remove the stock gauge faces.
The new overlay just sits on top of everything?

I just looked at the above pic, and it looks like the stock needles are not illuminated anymore?
Or the blue glo just overpowers everything else?


-Ted

 

WOW, any aftermarket gauges are ugly in my opinion. Factory looks GREAT! Now a bezel is another story.

 

Yup, the new ones overlay the old ones. So now you have a white face with a white needle. Its even worse at night because they overpower the stock dash bulbs if the bulbs werent removed in the process. At night you have to look for the dark spot on your gauges to figure out what theyre displaying.

I've seen these on FCs and they absolutely look like ***. Even on the dimmest setting, they blind you and give lots of glare on the drivers window.

 

Does anyone make these in RED? I like the stock red color, i just don't like the bulb illuminated look of it.

 

I'd think about it if it were orange, not as bright, and the needles were visible.

 

I'm going to buy them just to see how it is! cuz I like the look...... I'm about to paint my car probably darker than a 350z blue, and I want the interior to match the car.... So imma do it! haha!
