Clock removal-gauge replacement
 
Has anyone removed the clock and replaced it yet with a gauge? If so is there a write up on how to remove the clock? I have searched but can't find anything. I am looking to put an oil pressure gauge in, possibly swap to a boost gauge after the car is FI.

I know Lou (Fusz) was doing this with a Defi gauge. I don't think he actually did it himself, and not sure his car is back from the turbo install for pics (which I have requested)

It's not finished yet, waiting on a line form Goodridge. I am replacing the cluster with all DeFi gauges. It will have Boost, Oil Temp, and EGT Temp. All amber and 60mm gauges. When it's complete I will post some pics I promise Mod. All ran by a DeFi Link controller.
Should be fun.

Fusz,

Do those hoods on top of the gauges to sheild them from glare come off? Can they be reused on the DEFI gauges.

From having to fiddle with mine, they almost seemed like they were only on there with double sided tape, so I wouldnt doubt it lol.

G Fo12ce 12-25-2009 06:30 PM

Lol I see, well that's good they are reuseable. Could be all naturale adhesive, boogers!!!

Has anyone done this yet? I'd love a DIY.

I believe Altered Atmosphere did it on Lou's car, correct?

I wonder how hard it would be to swap out a gauge after the initial install. Say I want to replace the gauges now, but later (when appropriate) add a boost gauge.

Yep, they swapped all three out, they said they were going to post of some pictures of some info on what they did but no info yet.

I don't believe there is a write up but it has been done using Defi gauges

From what I was told, it requires removal of the entire dash to get to the center cluster. Unlike the 370Z, the 350Z was much more straight forward. :(

I remember reading the same thing. They said they had to pretty much remove the entire front dash to get them in. Sounds like it might have to be a weekend project.
