he has already made them, what are you guys talking about?

They are facing away from him, toward the LEFT.... Obviously he made it for vehicles that are LHD.... or he is just a damn idiot and had them face the wrong way...

Finished a customer's S13 cluster today. Consisting of a Race Technology Dash2 and a 52mm wideband. The Dash2 is angled into a fiberglass "cup" that I fabricated onto my normal gauge plate that I use for S13 clusters. It is recommended that the Dash2 is viewed from above at a 12 degree angle.

Build pics can be found here: Broadfield Cluster

Thanks. I'm having a very hard time fiding a white face 52mm defi link oil pressure gauge. He did an awesome job. I'm will be cleaning the car tomorrow,so I'll take better pics.

For those who aren't too bright, refer to this ^^. Thanks silviaguy

If you frequent this thread, you would have seen the dual pod I made for RHD. Try reading rather than just looking at pics.

Toby do you sell your individual pieces or included in custom installs done by you only?

Late on this, but I'm really disappointed with my Dmax mats. The threading on the drivers side started wearing out within a month around my feet. It's a fairly loose weave, and it just looks frayed, bunched up...

Makes perfect sense. Nothing I do is mass produced. So everything is one-off and made to order. For the S13 cluster, I have a template that I use for the main board, but then I cut in whatever gauges, displays etc. for the particular job. The modifications done to the front black OEM bezel and the rear white housing are all done by hand. The customer has to supply the OEM cluster for me to go and hack up, I mean "modify". So there really isn't any pieces I could sell individually.

Thanks for the question,

Toby

Is there any info that can be given for the digital fuel gauge we are all in love with? Is it just a round gauge stuck inside??

Yep, it's just a round gauge I glued into the backside. I obviously cut the center support out on the OEM piece and filed all of the edges straight. Then cut a piece of smoked plexiglass for the front. You can check out build pics here:

Got it running finally and brought it out of storage.
Here's its daily driver setup, I sold the track setup a couple years ago after I put it into storage.
Only things left that are original are the door panels, dash, headliner, and digital gauge cluster with working HUD, the rest is a full leather interior with S14 seats, nice sound system, etc.
