Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi guys

Well today me having a day off work i thought this would be a good time to pull something apart so i did.

I pulled my Spedo and tacho that big cluster out of the car for the intension of changing the colour of my instrument cluster.

So i rang a few people i now of that do a few things to cars and asked them would it be sweet if i took my needles off so i can getting the backing off and they said yeah should be fine when it's all back together u will just have to set everything back to zero as it would have changed.

So i did this all today changed the colour etc and this afternoon i put the cluster back in plug it back up and

My Tacho when the car is started doesn't move just sits on zero but when pull the needle out a little bit it's seems to work fine but now it doesn't work at all.
My oil pressure and temp gauges don't work either i just can't see the problem...


I thought if put everything back in the zero postion when the ign is on they should all just work from there but it's not...

Did anyone have this problem becuase i need help badly as i need the car for Thursday maybe wednesday!

Thanks for any tips or anything

Rick.

Hope someone can help

By the way could a fuse be casuing this maybe?

Thanks

Rick.

Rick, can you post pix of the new look?

Can't help you with your prob.

Well i fixed them all





Rick.

want to see it do over 180 LOL and rev past 6K

Pic was taken when it was broken LOL

that looks real flash where did you get the faces

I made them turned out quite well...

done real well
a nite time pic with dash lights would be good

Yeah i'll get one maybe tonight but tommrowo becuase my brother has the camera LOL

You MADE them

Flamin heck, they look better than a bought one. How'd you make them?
Unless they are just printed on white paper or something I'm very impressed.
HAS to be a heck of a lot easier to SEE than the stock GQ/MAV ones.

That's one damn fine job you've done of them.

I printed them out on photo paper it feels kinda smooth... it looks 1billion times better then factory and makes the car feel more new not so old.
I'm very happy with the job took a fair while to do and had to get my gauges reset etc but it was worth it..

So who is gona copy me

Rick.

hmm looks like i might be

Yeah ur right won't take long LOL

Yeah ur right won't take long LOL

if its not a hard job id be interested in one for my rig, looks bloody tops

Looking very good

I WOuldn't do it again becuase it cost me $92 to fix all the stuff back up and now i just found out my water temp gauge is farked again

Looks heaps better though took about 4hrs to cut everything out like the holes etc becuase if it's no exact it looks like shiat.

HTH

Rick.

Mulisha,

I think you are the only one doing this conversion..looks a very good job indeed.

What colour scheme does the dash read now, and could you get the back ground lighting to read orage rather than the orignal green ( mines a 93 Mav)

Well done.

PS You'd better send me a set so I can...check it.... down at the RWC lab for ARB compliance and RWC

do the dash lights shine threw the photo paper or is it not light up at night

LOOKS GREAT whats going to happen when the sun and the heat hits them on a hot day
