Hey guys I've been looking through the archives and have been thinking about doing an auto meter cluster I know 12volt does a kit but I'm keen having a go myself
Has anyone done one recently and what problems or hassles were incurred in the process was the speedo hard to setup and also wiring the high been light and indicator flashers ect

x2 I've been looking at heaps of photos etc
Would be good to see how people actually mount the back plate into the dash or to the cluster surround
Wiring gauges shouldn't be too hard I'm pretty sure you can use the electronic speed sensor from R33 gearboxes for the speedo
I would like to know what is required as far as indicator lights, I know you need blue for high beam and green for indicators but is that it?
Has anybody also wired lights for low coolant, low fuel etc?

the dash i made uses the original cluster, hollowed out with a new facia with the gauges etc so mounting is the same as stock.
ive got an r33 electric sender for my speedo.
and i still retain the original light panel above the dash with all the indicators etc
ill try find a pic...

I was thinking the same, to keep the panel up top with all the lights.
How does it look once it's fitted, does it affect the view of the top part of the gauges at all, cause from that pic it looks like it covers the tops a little
