After Market Dial Faces NA6

I have been looking, I even tried to use the force, but google searching beat me, can anyone point in the right direction of someone who sells dial faces in KPH for a NA6?

I remember reading a topic here somewhere that had links to some real nice ones...but the force is very weak with me today, search beat me here too.

cheers

Problem with the RS-product ones is that its either for JDM, which has 180 speedo, or USDM which has miles with small Km/hr inside...

How often are you going faster than 180km's? :lol:

QFT I don't understand why you would need over 180km/h, also it's JDM if you have 180 speedo...

Add in a "bing bong" sound at 100km/h you have a true JDM car.

when you're travelling at 200+ kmh down the main straight at phillip island, it's nice to know your actual speed as it helps you set up for the first corner. otherwise you could go in way too hot and overcook it. a 180kmh speedo just doesn't cut it imho.

I don't get much over 160km at Mallala, is your speedo actually acurate?

Wound it off my clock (180) at Lakeside last visit. This could be handy but my large eyeballs tended to stay focused on the track 99.99% of the time.

That's what I thought as well.

But hey this is much more handier for the track imo.

the speedo is not entriley accurate, no, but it is 100% repeatable, which is all that really matters. beleive me the straight at P.I is very long and you are up around 200 and you have plenty of time to look at the speedo. but yeah on a street car no big deal i agree.

Good point about being repeatable, I may have to visit P.I. (sorry about the hijack)

Well, the car is a roadster so its already JDM yo. Chances are unless I am doing something real stupid I will probably never get the car over 180 and if I do, Like CapitalF says, my eyes will most defiantly be facing the road ahead.

I purchased the RS Products "MG" style dial faces from http://www.drophead.co.jp

The main markings are in MPH, but km/h is marked inside in smaller font.

The oil pressure gauge is available in imperial or metric, the speedo in JDM or Oz ranges.
