Anyone know if there are custom or colored Gauge/Tacho/Dial Panel's for 93' TR's? I'm after white, if anyone knows a store that sells them please let me know.

philcom sells EL gauges for the TR, there around $200, but asaik, there is nothing custom available in terms of pod panels etc, maqybe some A Pillar ones but i really dont know

you can get El dials..


but i will be doing my own dials soon.. and thinking of selling some to anyone who wants them...
depending on wether you like them of course (designs can vary, will keep everyone posted)

$200, geez just for some plastic with writing on it...

This is the only pic i could find, but they do look Pimp

Hrmmm indeed they do. Whoever's car that is, the inerior is nice!

very unique car

What grill is that on the front? a TS grill? with mesh? I want to find white seat covers aswell.

yep a TS grille with super cheap mesh behind it

white seat covers, i got XDC ones, like AHS but half the price! they come in white, are throwover style, and can get em at repco, for a custom set of XHS ones your looking at over $180!!

It's funny you know, I said to myself, don't be stupid, you've just got the car, just get it all tunned and maybe get a CD/Mp3 Player.

Well, i've already spent close to $600 getting the engine and etc fixed (dickhead friend who owned it before never took care of it)

And now i've spent $250 on audio rofl, and i'm considering doing more! Owning a car sucks you in!

So repco for white seat covers and half AXS, $50 for a pair, I can spare that lol.

yeah they are called XDC, i may have a picture of them...

edit, nah sorry no pics, but go repco they are pretty nice.

Edit - dont get me started on car audio budgets!

I'm just lucky my loan/insurance repayments haven't started yet or i'd be screwed! I think it's also becuase I'm on holidays, i'll go spend money, get stuff put it on or whatever, just to waste time.

Alrigthy i'll go check out repco tommorow, not sure if i'll get white, or maybe a dark blue. The thing is though, the car is grey, but I think it's the viynl dash, is a really, really dark blue, so color co-ordinating is gonna be a toughy. Might just do white trims, console etc, white/blue will look decent.

Thanks for the the info TUFFTR

hey guys, i was thinking of buying these

but they are obvioulsy the wrong way around, now i have never seen the actuall gauges so this is why i am asking, can these be, how can i say, CUT, so they can be switched around?

or is there wiring etc?

becuase in $AU its like just under $50 which aint to bad, but no use if my revs, engine temp and fuel gauge dont work..

any help would be appreciated:)

hrmmm I reckon it might be possible to cut it, don't know if it'd sit right though. If the EL's philcom is selling wern't so expensive i'd grab em' I spose you could try [TUFFTR], but it would be a bit dodgy cutting your dial backing.

nothing sticky tape doesnt fix!!!!

does anyone know if this is possible?

dude they will fit all magnas and diamantes have the gauges the same as ours
also they are three piece and i think the seller has just put them the wrong way around for the add,
check this out its a US diamante cluster

i have the el gauges too; they can vary in colour too; mine goes from dark blue through to light green with heaps of settings; have a grounding issue and won't let me change from green but thats ok; i dont know if jase aka tzaboy added the colours himself though....

ahhh your right on that one, might be reversed somehow, who knows?

GoTRICE, are these fairly easy to install?

']ahhh your right on that one, might be reversed somehow, who knows?

Dude they come as individual pieces..
ie 1 for fuel and temp... 1 for revs and 1 for speedo..
so they aren't all connected together..
and apparantley they are easy as to install..
i wanted some but those US ones only come in auto..
and also i dunno if i could used to MPH..

ive seen them made for canadian diamantes and im sure their metric
maybe ebay canada is place to look

No go, had a look at eBay Canada - they've got the same Glow Gauges as the US site - Speedo is in MPH with small KPH.

But the gauges are also different - the position of the KPH & RPM marks. (see pics)
You would also need to recalibrate them or something ?

pics are of a standard Diamante Cluster, the Glow Gauges, and a 6cyl & 4cyl Magna Cluster.

true indeed they go up to 240Km/h, didn't notice that.

ill still be buying these when some $$$ comes in, becuase now i need a new tyre as the one i got put on a week ago has got a bubble in it:doubt: :doubt: :doubt:

now i know ill also have to get it recalibrated:)

']true indeed they go up to 240Km/h, didn't notice that.
ill still be buying these when some $$$ comes in...Let us know when you are serious about this, maybe we could buy 2 or more and combine the postage.

Our 100kph is almost at 12 o'clock, the D's Speedo 100kph mark is at approx. 11 o'clock.

The RPM gauge is also different.
Ours go up to 8, redlining at 6, the D goes up to 9, redline at 7.
Our 4,000RPM mark is just before 12 o'clock, the D 4,000RPM mark is slightly different - approx. around the half past 11 mark.

:shock:

righteo looks like a bit of work there, but would the tachometer be an issue? could i get it recalibrated to the new "extra rpm" range? if you get my jist...

look very complicated....but would look so wicked if done well..

since i cant post on the diamante forums yet, is it possible to see if the guys over there who have the SOHC motor can use these dials?

Thats probably because most of the D's are DOHC... not SOHC like our ones..
Killbilly? any help in that department?

The Tachos that go to 9000 are from the DOHC's, the ones that go to 8000 like ours are the SOHC ones. You were on the right track Adza :cool:

Unless you're a real detail freak the difference in the RPM gauge is minimal, the redline is actually in the same place on both cars, just the numbers squeezed closer together, you're only about 200rpms out either way when applying it to the SOHC motor. However the speedo may well be off due to the fact kilometers mean nothing over here in the states :D

That was me, but I got sick of them after 1 week and just changed them to white background / black numbers and red needles.

I found that there was "too much happening" with those blue ones. It was a first attempt so......anyway, I like the ones I have now.

For printing out the dials the best stuff to use is the HG stuff that Canon make (or equivalent) it's called High Gloss Photo Film and it's actually a thin white plastic sheet A4 size and it works perfectly. Thats what you see in the photos of my red dials.

Cool thing about having white dials is not only can i call mine a TR Sports :bowrofl: but i put those little light (red) covers over the dash light ... now i have EL Dials :D

mate that car ****ing rocks, im going to get my tr back into mint condition

true, its a f**ken mint car and one of the most unique, just the front of his car does nothing for me, to ricey ricey, the rest is not to bad, crap color aswell but eh

Here's a custom speedo I just made using those .PSD Files. Cheers.

BTW The quality of the pic sucks because this forum is so restrictive on File Uploads.

How you do that I got the file but can't do much with it ?

You need adobe photoshop. It will help you to know how photoshop works aswell, you can do some pretty cool stuff. Nice looking fonts are also good. Check out http://www.dafont.com for some nice fonts.

make me a set ready for printinglol lol :) :) :)

I noticed that 2 things are missing the gear selection lights and the power and O/S lights will be blocked.

Also the file is missing some of the items to make what is there so you can't change much at all only one dail so it beats me how you did what you did ?

I would also like a white set done for me and I will pay for the effort. :)

The dials I used were based off a Manual Dash, not an Automatic, Scan an Automatic one and I'll do it.

That's all good but I'm not going to pull apart my dash and cluster to scan the auto options and even then I don't think it would show up on the scan properly and then I'm not going to spend money getting a cluster from the wreckers.

What would be great as everone seems to want these dails is if a member can make these templates in different colours ready for printing or offer a small fee to print them.

is there any chance someone can get me that guys contacts?

When you scan the auto fuel temp part...you dont' actually print that out. You carefully cut it out with a scaple(sp..I never use that word lol) so the original part shows through.

It's not hard to do, you're being pretty pessemistic about it. I spent the money on a cluster, did the scans, got an awesome result and then sold the cluster as it was fine.

There's no hassle to doing it. But if you want to spend almost $300 on something you could spend about $50 once off and make as many as you want after that...then go for it.

KillBilly did you print it at home? Or go to a business that specified in High Quality Printing? I have no objection making template clusters for members aslong as I get some amount of money for my efforts!

I have no objection making template clusters for members aslong as I get some amount of money for my efforts!

Agreed and I will be your 1st customer :D

I would like mine to be White with the mistubishi logo on the speedo dail no wording for an auto.

Here are just some generic white dials I put together. As soon as I find out the printer costs and etc, I may do this for members. I don't think I will be changing the number fonts very much, colors are fine to change, but changing font of the numbers is a pain in the ass. Anyway here are my Generic White Dials (note: these are not scaled to size, so don't copy and print and think they'll fit. lol)

They look cool but would look better with the Mitsubishi Logo on the Speedo dail. :D

Will the lights show through these like the auto select lights etc. ?

Well i'm using the .PSD templates posted in here, they had the logo, but meh, too much needless stuff on the dials is annoying in my opinion.

it's got to have the logo dude :bowrofl:

KillBilly did you print it at home? Or go to a business that specified in High Quality Printing? I have no objection making template clusters for members aslong as I get some amount of money for my efforts!

Printed it out myself at home on a canon s830D on it's highest setting, on high gloss photo film, it's like a thin white plastic A4 sheet.

You want to be paid? For what? There's no effort involved. It just takes time and it's something anyone can do. When I first did it I posted up the dial scans for free. Unfortunately, I don't have them anymore.

Noone should charge for this because it's so simple to do yourself

yeah but most guys don't have printers that print photo paper etc or don't want to spend that much money on another set of ink blocks plus paper that ain't cheap so I would pay for the paper and some ink and postage and a little for printing it out for me makes sence to me.

Yes, KillBilly I understand it's simple to do, but it seems a few people don't have enough knownledge or the skills capable of making them. Possibly they're just lazy? I don't know. Anyway here's my set that i'm going to print soon.

There's no "knowledge" or "skills" required.

Well to tell you the truth I really cbf making designs for people. If DUCKO and the other dude had noticed, the Template was linked earlier in this thread. Yeah KB it might be a piece of piss but for photoshop noobs it ain't so.

Sorry guys but I cbf designing and charging, i'll post up those white dial templates for you in a printable format, but not in .PSD my hosting won't allow it to be that big, nor am I going to waste my b/w.

KB is just angsty cuz he is missing the 1800rpm line on his tacho!:bowrofl:
lol I just dont see why people are wanting to be charged when it's so easy to do yourself. The scans I posted ages ago were already photoshopped so there was NO EFFORT required so stop whinging and saying you need skills :roll:

I could make so many of these its not even funny, hell i could make dials with semi transparent naked chicks on them if people wanted, or flames, or a tin of baked beans for all i care... Like KB said, the PSD files he put up here a while back are already layered and so easy to edit. You just need Photoshop and the most basic of basic knowledge to do anything to them.

If I could get my hands on a set of spare dials I'd do it all again, but I havent got them anymore.

i dont know what the rant is all about, its SO simple to do ... heck, if i can find a decent upload site i will host them (3 .psd files about 200mb in total)

anyway, as i promised ...

He's right. It is sooo easy. Took me only a couple of hours to undo the cluster, scan the faces, edit them in Photoshop, print them, cut them out and put them back in the cluster. Not worth pay for.

just made a set of my own.. went for a touch of class font hehe.. VERY basic, and a very crappy edit but u get the point, i dont like strange fonts and stupid colors.
like KB said.. too easy

i used bj083's template...
anyone wanna pay me to make a custom set??lol :bowrofl:

yeah but the V6 ones...

hmmm, shoulda got that set at pick a part:rant:

It's funny how easily people misconstrew words. Payment would have been for printing and post. Once again I stated it was simple, but you still had members willing to pay to get it done for them, is it my fault, they are lazy and incompetent in using basic Graphics Skills? no? I'm really starting to dislike the negative attitude in these forums. I'm trying to help, yet I cop crappy comments? Makes me think what's the point in putting into these forums if I just get crapped on every time.

I will be posting the simple white dial set in .PSD format shortly. Free of charge...:rant:

Edit: I've decided to upload my custom dials (the blue/orange white bg ones) in .PSD instead, you'll need the font for the numbers, or you can always change it, as it's all text layers and you can edit it easy. Watch for a new post.

Also, thanks for the words MagnaAussie.

mutelabs I look forward to it and thank you for your time in doing this for us.

Some of us do not have the skills to use a paintshop programe or a proper printer and I see nothing wrong with paying someone for printing, paper & postage to someone willing to do it for you.

I do find it sad when members resort to a negative attitude it only drives other members away and give a club a bad reputation but I see this in alot of forums these days.

excellent for posting ;)
i will throw some pics up asap of my dials.. i am actually printing them on 80 micron transparency. x2 then putting them together and letting the light shine thru the whole dial.. not just the numbers.. it looks sick.. example pics up nxt week

CANNOT WAIT to see this.

:cool: :cool: :cool:

If I had the stock scanned V6 Dials, i'd configure them a bit and upload them. Unfortunatly, I don't. lol (sorry paul)

Printing shop.... LOTS!
check KB's post further back in the thread.. he mention some high gloss photo film..

printing shops are cheap as..

i get alot of my hw printed there cause i gotta get A3 prints, a few prints of A4 on regular glossy paper (dont really need high gloss) would be under $10

Sounds like you've tried downloading it several times paul, and it won't waste anymore bandwidth on you, as your not a paying customer.

yep seems you started a download then canceled it and it won't let you down load again for a few minutes as it knows your IP address.

I thought you couldn't see my images didn't know you were downloading the blue ralliart dails.
:confused:

what do you use for illimanation ? do you have to change any thing as far as lighting goes?
mines all lit up green atm, but id love a set of cool gauges. How do i pull my gauges apart?
Can i Just buy a set from someone????
Can someone make them so that on the speedo, it reads, NANNA MAGNET?

Can i Just buy a set from someone????

This seems fround upon on this forum as some members don't get it or are just jeluios they never thought of it.

There is a file you can download further back in the thread for a set of blue dails and and change the colour on them to your liking.

This is my attempt at them...

i only have premium picture paper so its what i used..

i might put these on top of the old ones :confused:
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a52/dodgeviper89/ggggg.jpg

Did you scan your old dails ?

Sure did

ive also got these in PSD format and only 2 meg for all 3 of em...

Dude can you email the file to me i wanted the Auto one in the first place. :D

#1 wtf 2 mb for a true image scan? something that size should be bigger, unless ur losing quality

#2 u havent put ur stock dials back and u can see the light shinging through the internals. so yea, put those back lol

#3 uve painted ur needles white, u wont be able to see them at night coz there isnt any light shining through them. Maybe some shining on them. I hope that isnt whiteout!lol


The design is good tho, simple. :D
looks ok..

Grow up mate. If you bother to read any of my posts, I have said it's so easy to make yourself...I don't see why you'd bother. AND I also said if people want to buy them, fine.

So take your snide remarks somewhere else.

[TUFFTR] can you send me the PDF file so i can alter them please as the jpg images were to small to use.

hmm.....thats the actuall scanned image that i used...no wonder they came out a bit blocky:doubt:

how do convert these to PDF? just open them up in photoshop and save them?
Pm me if you know how to, as i don't..

You must have dad your scanner settings wrong then ?
When you scan them you need to make sure there scanned as actual size.

Your photoshop programe should let you save it as a pdf file.

it is scanend as the orginal size as when i printed them out in photoshop they were 100% perfect fit for the old ones.

Ill save it in PSD gimme a minute

Comes up with not a valid psd file

sorry ive done this all wrong....ive now scanned them in from photoshop as a PSD file and now im just working out other things...sorry about the noobiness here.....might just have to wait a bit until i can send these to you


Edit - ok its 161 meg......i think this is the proper version :S

ok I can wait. :D

Mk, how can i send these? would Megaupload be the way?

Could try emailing ?

MagnaAussie - Im gonna try and upload them now. as for me...Well ive been very busy!!!

Painted the needles chanti red, re-did the dials PROPERLY! got me a 20cm LED stick (might change it to a neon this is FUC*ING BRIGHT!) sanded down and then painted the cluster thingy and put it back together :D

OMG OMG MY EYES MY EYES :shock: Ok all I can see now is a red glow :D

Looks awsome mate great work. I'll be waiting for that download when your done. :)

yeah it is really bright, i underestimated the power of LED's :P

Gonna go night driving tomorrow, so hopefully it doesnt blind me just yet

LOL seeing red there ay!

Ok i removed the LED stick today....it was just ridiculously bright, so i just replaced with with the stock ones and it looks just as good!!

For anyone wanting to know how to put a neon in....i drew a little picture....very easy to do.....theres only a tiny bit of plastic you have to saw out as explained in the 2nd pic.

But honestly if your gonna make white dials the stock lights are pretty good:)

Maybe you can get little red boots for the globes ?

Yeah ill try and go autobarn, if not i might have to use the ends on a few connies:bowrofl: i can imagine myself trying to explain to the folks what im using them for "there for some light bulbs i swear" ahahaha

Maybe cut the tips of colorued condoms prehaps :bowrofl:

man this is the second time ive tried to upload them and each time its stopped on 82mg....

Ill keep trying dood...

Maybe it's to large to upload it to there host ?

Maybe it's to large to upload it to there host ?
Its a 250Meg limit and my files only 161 Meg, im gonna try again tmorrow morning...sorry dood

if its too bright, why dont u just use the dimmer switch? or dont the Tr`s have these for the dash lights?

He was using a stick of LED's i think they cut out when the voltage drops.

ah of course :p wheras a neon/cathode would be adjustable...i see the logic :D

but tr`s do have adjustable cluster brightness, right?

Mine does it's on the right side of the dash near the steering wheel it's like a small wheel thing just give it a spin up or down to adjust.

yeah so does ts, just checking if trs have it too

:bump:

this thread should be handy for newbies

im in a serious pickle, i need the 4cyl speedo one ASAP can anyone re-host just the speedo? PLEASSSEEE!! :pray:

:bump: come on!!

I may get around to hosting something, but definitely not as they stand; who the hell makes a 36MB graphics file for uploading to the web?! :rant: Seriously people, learn to use a vector tool for this stuff! I'll convert it if I get around to it. No way should it be over a maximum of maybe 1MB for what it is! :hand:

Cool man, just that im doing them for a friend and i need the 4cyl one really soon, if not could you post me the link direct to my email?
Cheers

I don't have the online space for a file that size, and have gone over my download limit, so am speed limited for the next few days, making it impossible to upload a file like that.

OK, extremely quick one, haven't done any vector work, just resized and separated into colour layers, here's the 4cyl speedo. Will remove it from my server and replace with a proper vector set when I feel inclined.
Speedo psd (1.16MB) (http://baudalign.com/lee/pics/Speedo.zip)

And the other two, same deal
Temp psd (535KB) (http://baudalign.com/lee/pics/Temp.zip)
revs psd (482KB) (http://baudalign.com/lee/pics/Revs.zip)

There the old ralliart blue dials eeewwww :confused:

There the old ralliart blue dials eeewwww :confused:

easily changed to any color with the layers!:D

I separated everything out into layers, was going to delete the ralliart stuff but figured what the hell.
And no it's not mine, can't remember who posted the files originally, I just made them a bit more bandwidth- and user- friendly.
As I said, I'll try to make up a clean vector version at some stage as a standard template. If anyone has a V6 speedo file, let me know (can't be stuffed pulling mine apart and scanning it, I'm sticking with the stock faces)

The V6 speedo file should be in AussieMagna's post..........its just a bit bit:P

$220 about a year ago from philcomrally.

this is my custom effert so far

All of this is done with LED's

The white ones behind the dials are 3A Racing T10's
The green ones in front of the gauges are Narva T5's
the floor lights are multi colored/ paturn forming LED tubes, set to green, but also srobe with music.

What do you think?

i like the gauge man, the LED's beind make it look neat

would look better without the green shining on it tho..

but u hae the whole green theme.. so its good :D

i havent looked without the green, but i know that the needles are hard to read without front lights

I'll be interested to see what its like with white dias, [TUFFTR] is makeing me some with green numbers

ATT: TO EVERYONE AND ANYONE WHO CARES

In the next week or so i will be posting up some custom dials...
only hint i am giving is "UV"

hasnt Gerard done that already? his custome gauage with the UV light shining onto it making it glow blue?

hasnt Gerard done that already? his custome gauage with the UV light shining onto it making it glow blue?

UV light makes the white stand out like dogs balls, he would have a Blue neon if im correct

haha if ur thinking im just doing that (uv lights) then ur mistaken....
post some pics tuff and i will see if what we are doing is the same..

this thread is massively popular lets get everyone who has made these custom dials to post them up so we all can have a look and compare our favourites cos i reckon theres some awesome ideas floating around. day and night shots would be cool

no blue neon here, uv!

no, in the night those dont come up because ive removed all the lights behind.. im sure if u leave a couple it should be alright
the UV's mounted where the top lights shine down onto the cluster


']Gerard - how did you use the UV? Mine came with a switch on the Ciggie lighter adaptor and im afraid to chop it off, how did you do yours???

You should be able to open it up and get pos and neg wires out..

u can even connect it up to the cluster and have it dim with your dimmer switch

Thanks dood

yea jus unscrew it and see if its just a switch or if theres anything else in there that the neon would need.
If there is, you can hide that little bit in one of the gaps behind the cluster. there is plenty of space there.

My neons have an inverter box which is pretty massive, ive hidden that in one of the gaps. U'll be able to do the same
