distorted clock in gauge pod?
 
just wondering if anyone else has had an issue with their clock on the 3 pod gauge? see the below pic for an example...mines been showing random, odd distortions for a couple of days now. havent had time to take it to the dealer, but just wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this?

looks like your clock assy is not centered correctly... (cocked)

Looks as if the screen is loose almost... not to sure, i would take it in. I have not seen anything like this yet specifically in my car.

*shrug* ill just blame the harsh nismo suspension :tup:

but really..the clock is not mis-aligned. its just the glare from the picture that shows it. i guess ill take it in for replacement one of these days

huh, yah, now that you mentioned it i do see the faint border of the LCD and it's parallel to the numbers so i guess it is aligned. :D

I think the whole lcd board moved, which would explain why it is at an angle... this is something you can bring in and have them get a headache over.

It is very hard for the LCD board to move, but there might be a slight chance the gauge face slipped out of place. It has a couple of alignment holes to keep it straight.

If you're going to get a replacement, you are better off getting aftermarket gauges while the entire console is out of the car.
