White Face Guages

[Diveboy]

Hey Blew-by-u.

Well from the two people that I have talk to this seem to be the way it is done. I have wrote G2Motorsports 3 times now. And have not gotten a response. I am assuming that the company is dead or something. I see the gauges being sold by a company called Jc_motorsports on ebay. Dont kno if this is the same company.

You are right you can do that too. I am assuming you removed the bulbs and put the clip back in the dash? I thought about that. Just did not do it.

Well 4 hours is a good time to remove the intrument from the car, and add the gauges and then put it all back in. Plus you have to run the wires for the new gauges. It is an all electronic dash so no old cables. But you do have to take about 4 parts off before you can start to remove the pod.

Thanks
Jim

Does anyone know if the needles on the NSX are made out of Lexan material. Also does anyone know how to remove the needles? What is the best way to do this with out throwing the gauges off?

Think I have found another person that might be able to supple the needles.

Thanks

Jim

Diveboy,
Thank's for the heads up about the gauges and the insturment cluster.
I just bought a set of them from 'jc motorsports'(?) and went to Paypal them and it went to 'G3 Spoiler'(?) or something like that. Is this one and the same company? I emailed them and asked for their paypal account name and was told it was 'jc [email protected]' so now I am totally confused.
Anyway, are you happy with the product overall thoough? Any regrets other than the price thing I have read about?
Thank's for all your help.

Boy is that a loaded question. See link below to find out why...

Everyone in the group buy knows what happened .... Reminds me of the davey n goliath mountain dew commercial.

 

[Diveboy]

Yes. I do like the gauges. I think when you do the total package it looks really awesome. I would do it again. But I also am a blue person. I will take everything as long as it is blue.

I am hoping to fine a place to buy the needs from that I can trust. It seems like every time I ask for the instructions on how to install them they seem to stop emailing me. Once I find a person willing to be up front with me I will let you know. I may try to get some needles out of a wrecked NSX dash. So if any one wants to voluntree a set of needs out of bad dash for this project I would appreciate.

will keep you up to date on this project

Well one of the guys that I was talking to about their blue needles. He sent me and email back and stopped accepting mail from me. This is the user that is in the ebay auction above. So I am guessing he is not someone that the NSX group wants to do business with. This is what he said and did.

Thanks
Jim

guys, i bought the gauges on ebay after the price drop.the day after i bought i went back to my ebay and the company had changed names and was no longer posting any gauges for sale.I emailed my concerns to the new jc named company and they told me not to worry a week went bye with no more replys and the day i was gonna eamil again and find out what was up they arrived in the mail.btw they are offering the gauges again.so regardless of all the nonsense and the crazy price drop they do appear to be getting them to the buyers.I installed the gauges but have not hooked them up to a 12 volt power supply yet.where did you guys wire them to.. the kick panel fuse box empty slot?or headlights.also what about the factory lighting for the oem gauges.did you disable it to the six gauges. the install directions are sketchy.any info welcome.i was thinking of just using an aux slot on the kick panel box for the red wire and run the black to the closest ground.what has been the place most of you wired to and where did you mount your touch pad?

Well the guy that sent me the email refered to Leslie as a girl. It is a guy So I am not sure what he knows. I am still doing more research on the project of the needles for everyone.

Ok on the wireing up of the gauges lights. I jumped it off of the big block that goes to the gauge pod on the right hand side. I think the number was like B9. I looked on the wiring diagram. This was the lights that turned on the dash lights. If you look at the picture you might be able to make out the wire. If I remember correctly it is a red wire with a green stripe. I hope this helps. It seem to work every well for me.

Thanks
Jim

Jim --

Thanks for the update and please keep us posted.

 

[NyC NsX]

because im very anal about my nsx what i did was wire it directly to the fuse box and used a relay which would turn the gauges on when the parking lights were turned on... the touch pad i stuck down above where the hood release latch is .... it cannot be seen unless u really look but if u need to adjust it ever you can just reach down and do it with out any problems....any other questions you can email me [email protected]

I just bought a set on ebay last Fri for $80. I received on Monday. They look pretty good as far as design and quality. However, I have not installed them yet.

Regards,
Danny

Can anyone confirm if the "icons" (for lack of a better word) can be seen completly? In some of the PICS I have seen it appears the gas and oil icons are only partly visible. Maybe it is just the angle of the photo?? Does anyone else see this?

 

[jsmernoff]

so after reading all of the messages, I am still not clear where you purchased your white gauge faces from or how much. how easy were they to install?

thanks!

I'm curious about this too. From the pics I've seen it lloks like they move the symbols down to make room for the glowing ring around the needles. Hopefully someone who has installed them can tell us for sure.

I totally agree with going to the fuse box.i did not know that the kick panel fuse box has 4 additional aux 12 volt power connectors at the very top of the box.to get to them you need to drop your underconsole panel and can access the top of the fuse box.you can view a pic of the fuse box and powerconnectors i am referring to in the faq section of the 1991 servman.pdf page 1035 under the electrical section.also check this out,it refers to the connectors but does not spell out which one does what.the pdf does. http://www.nsxhelp.com/faq/diy23.htm
1.turns on power when headlights come on(thats where i will wire my red wire off gauges instead of tapping in somewhere in the cluster)much cleaner.and will ground the black wire to a screw right next to the fuse box.the screw goes right into frame.MY only concern is you guys that are tapping into the cluster are by doing so using the fuse for that cluster insuring you dont burn out your gauges.these four extra 12 volt power connectors are great.one for lights,one on all the time (dont use that one)one when key is turned to position one,and lastly one that powers on when key is turned to postion 2. but what about a fuse for these additional power connectors.anyone know if they have one? i was thinking the best,safest practice to wire these is to use these aux 12 volt connectors and put in line fuse on the red wire say a 5.you could also wire your radar detector or anything else that needs 12 volts here cleanly freeing up your lighter socket
how bout some feed back on this wire scenerio
read the link and view the connectors and pin # in the faq pdf's like i said its in the servman one under electrical.this opens up lots of add ons for me.but want to find out about fuses for these.i will post more when i know
