Gauge question??
 
I noticed some people's Z have white speedometer gauges and some have blue ones. Is there a color selction for the gauges??

I don't think there's a color selection option.

Here's how mine looks like

I haven't seen pics of blue gauges. Got any pics of this?

White LEDs look bluish from an angle in photos. That's all.

I don't think there will be a way to change the color of the entire cluster on this car, unless the '10 has the option (which I don't see that happening).

Here are the gauges from my truck (sorry the picture isn't clear--I'm at work). I bought a bunch of leds, and swapped out all the bulbs in the cluster. On the Z, it looks like you could probably swap out the tach and speedo, but I doubt you can do anything to change the multi-function gauge. If you still want the link to the led website, I can post it when I get home.

I think it's the camera. Nissan did not put any other version of the gauges other than the one in your car. If you watch carefully, from 3 to 8 seconds, you'll see that the gauges look white. If you look at the light outside, they also look white. But after 8 seconds, something happens to his camera or camera phone, everything white gets a bluish tint.

Hmm very true, I've seen in angles or like you say possible camera faults that the gauges do light blue. I guess it is camera, but in one of the spy shots of the Z the gauges were seen exactly blue like in the video. Idk maybe it's angle, but if you own the car and say they are white, then they are white lol. Not that white is bad I was just really curious to know.

Not to dig up an old thread, but there was no other appropriate thread to post this...I, too, have noticed two different tachometers, although not in the same sense.

I have noticed some rev-counters with indicators for every 100 RPM, and some without. In AK's pic, he obviously has the tach without those hatches. Anyone know why there are two different versions? Could it be a difference in trim-level? Build date?

Here is what I'm talking about. Perhaps there are other slight differences in other parts of the car as well which have gone unnoticed?

Could be a later production thing perhaps let me go check mine...Mines is like AK's which is a 2014 base sport.

This looks like the pre-production model...see the fuel/water temp gauge on the left.

I could be totally wrong though :p

You know its a thread necro when the post above yours says "Not to dig up an old thread, but... " with a date from 5 years ago ;)
