Reverse Indiglow with emphasis on KM/H

Hi all,

Just wondering whether anyone knew where I could find some reverse indiglow gauges to fit my 1995 A32 Nissan Maxima.

The only catch is I would like to have the speedo to only have KM/H readings or at least have the emphasis placed on KM/H (i.e. KM/H markings bigger than MPH).

So, i'm looking for something similar to:



Thanks all..


Regards,

Aussie Maxima Enthusiast.

yeah, i've wanted some since i've had my max! i wonder if it would be possible to make a set? ie, scan the standerd ones into a computer, and use it as an overlay to make one from scratch, then print it onto acetate?
i'm not sure what the standard ones are made of, and i haven't taken them out so i might be way off with my theory, but any thoughts on this?

Well, depending on the number of people that are interested, maybe we can get the manufacturer to develop a special set of KM/H gauges.

I did a search on Google for reverse indiglow and KM/H and I found some guys on a Hyundai forum requesting a supplier to make a batch of reverse indiglow with KM/H reading only. But I think the supplier wanted a minimum batch run of 50 or so...

yeah, good idea! only problem is we'd be pretty hard pressed to find anywhere near 50, plus mine and eddies would be different to yours, so there'd have to be different ones made..

i might pull my dash out this weekend and investigate the "home made" option further! will keep you posted

I have another problem, I want these gauges to! But my speedo goes up to 260 kp/h, those indiglo's are for the 220 kp/h clusters I believe

I believe all A32's that have the emphasis on KM/H go up to 260km/h. I know mine does

Well, they have 260 on the dial, but they may be limited at 180 so they can't go any faster. If you removed the limiter you could go faster Most A32's were made in NZ, only 98-99 were imported after the closing of the NZ assembly plant

The A32 maximas in Australia are all locally delivered, so we get the 260km/h speedo dials. Our aussie maximas are not electronically limited to 180km/h either, as I've found out

Thanks for pointing that out v6maximus!
I was just about to give up and order a set of MPH reverse indiglow from Ebay!

phew! hrmm... looks like I will need to go to my second option, reverse indiglow all the gauges except the speedo. Will have to just live with using blue LEDS for the speedo.

Hmm, the NZ Made A32's may not have a speed limit, I'm not sure though I've never been faster then 140 heh (those damn ads get me ). I know it goes up to 260 on the dial though

Couldn't we propose some kind of group deal with the people that make the indiglo's to make a set of indiglo gauges that go up to 260 kp/h? Perhaps with MPh as an inner ring. And get some gauges for the 95-96 as well as the 97-99?

Hmm, Canada uses Km/h too don't they or do they also use MPH? If they do use km/h maybe see if some of them would like to join you guys in a group deal? The more there are, the cheaper it'll be

It's only one gauge they would have to remake, and thats the speedo, they would have to make 2 different once, one for the digital odometer guys, and one for the analoge odometer guys like me

Tacho, fuel en coolant temp. is the same as the US-spec. So I think it should not be all that expensive. Only how do I set this up? How do I contact these guys?

Depends on how much it will cost, but if it pretty reasonable, then I'm all for going in the deal. But, I would rather have 240 Km/h than 180 Km/h gauges. Sorry scott

You guys may want to check some Canadian markets. I know of one 3rd gen maxima owner who has them in KM/H.
