Wow .. I like how it says Fairlady on the right gauge face ... Very cool find SoCal ... Brings me back to the old school days when I swapped my stock Civic gauges for JDM Si Gauges ... haha

Made my first ones, but it is a little too glossy. Might need to change materials, also a pixel or two off in alignment. Will try to post pctures later.

update..... i talked to a local buddy of mine who makes stickers i had him scan the original spare and his gonna make 15.... and i will sell these to you guys :tup: i just wanna say i aint tryna rape you guys on profit.... im just tryna be a nice guy and get these out to everyone.... here is the breakdown.... he charged me $35 bucks for scanning charge fee.... and charging me $7 bucks for each sticker (15made)....

that totals to $140 if you divide 15 to that youll get $9... im going to sell these overlays to you guys for $12 shipped... i think thats pretty fair :tup: i gotta buy envelopes and stamps so each sticker should cost me a buck to ship out to the US.... so that leaves me with $2 bucks :happydance: if each overlay leaves me with $2 bucks i can get a mc double and a small drink and ill be more than a happy camper :bowrofl: im just tryna help the forum.... :tup: im not a vendor nor do i think that small of an overlay like this should cost more than that.... lol i mean come on... its just a sticker.... :tup: let me know what you guys think ;)

Great work Simota! Not trying to hog this thread, but just as an FYI you guys can reference my thread in regards to disassembly of the entire gauge cluster for modification here:
Nissan 370Z Forum - DIGItonium's Album: Gauge Cluster Modification

You will have to do this the first time in order to get the Fuel/Temp gauge bezel removed. Then you can reassemble the entire gauge cluster and reinstall it without the bezel. Once the bezel is modified (painted, sticker, etc.), you can simply pop it back in. :tup:

Nissan 370Z Forum - DIGItonium's Album: Gauge Cluster Modification

On a side note, I'm currently modifying the oil temp and batt volt cluster. The faces will be sent out to Black Cat Custom, so he will make the new gauge faces available for customization. The only drawback is that the entire dash needs to be removed to get to the cluster.

Simota, you should paint the bezel black!

Curious to see how he cuts them, but that seems like an outrageous scanning fee - are you sure he's a friend? :D

If he is doing a vinyl cutter, that will be nicer than mine (I don't have one yet), but I did add a color bar from green to yellow for water temp, and some color squares (green to red) for gas that show up in the daytime.

kenchan 09-28-2010 05:22 PM

Hey is that the list for the black fuel guage overlay? :confused:

js1 09-28-2010 05:34 PM

how do you put your name on the list?

Endgame 09-28-2010 06:26 PM

Put me on the list ASAP!

fairladyZ34 09-28-2010 06:34 PM

looking good! i never really noticed until this lol, someone make a carbon fiber overlay

phelan 09-28-2010 06:39 PM

i wish i could transplant my audi dashboard into the Z. i love the sheer simplicity of it, and it's my favorite color scheme (white with red accents on black bg).

alas i'm stuck with orange Z stuff...


wait, what we were talking about? :icon14: hehe

DIGI thanks for putting that up, i MIIIIGHT start playing with the dash.

i believe he is using a vinyl cutter.... the fee is outrageous.... with out a doubt.... but most of all the labor on guam is retarded... everything is over priced.... lol i dont mind his fee though cuz he does a realy good job and is really anal about details... other shops would prolly make it slightly off and be like idk what happened man? :facepalm:
