New gauge faces for 280zx
Hey everyone, this week I have been doing some big things to the 280zx before i drive it up to the beach hop this weekend. One of which was change all the faces on my gauge cluster. I didn't want some aftermarket ones, just something that doesn't look so dated. I have attached some photos of what i finished today.

- I popped it all back into the cluster and this is the end result. What do you guys think? Not bad for $18 huh?

Someone had to make up for all the pollutants these hybrid cars are saving these days, so i cranked up the fuel pressure and let the engine roar.

sometimes it is just that easy I wanted the tacho to go to 8000 but i didn't want a big amount of redline so i shifted the yellow and red so it looked easy on the eye. the next step is to pull the engine out and make some changes so its true. I plan to be putting up a build thread of my own in the next 2 months.
