I bought mine from a member who had a spare. Guys usually get one with their 1JZ halfcut and they keep it cuz it's friggin wicked.

***BTW***
On a more related note, I have found a place that does moulding like vaccuum and injection moulding, so it might be possible after all for me to duplicate the casing I'm making for my digidash, enableing me to make copies. It's called canus plastics, they have a website http://www.canusplastics.com/manufacturing.html

The real limiting factor for others to have one from me personally is the place Ifound that does moulding. IF they can make copies of atleast my harder to make parts then I could make more clusters. If I end up having to make each one by hand the labour would jump the price several hundred more than I would hope. There has to be some sort of trick to get it to change from km/h to mph and i bet it's clearly marked in the owners manual of a digi-equipped car with its own reference in the index even :icon_razz . I'll ask Suzie if she can find a manual to look it up for me.

Well, just so I don't lose my viewers ahahah here's what I got in the mail just now; My Speethut Aluminum Gauge cover!!!

I'm using it to give me a super accurate template so I can trace it onto acrylic sheet to create the clear plastic cover needed to protect the digi unit, aswell as the harder plastic panel with rectangular cutouts letting only the lit parts of the boards show through and not all the wiring and stuff.

nice, but to the other guys...there was a video on youtube or put file, that had a guy with a mkiii and a digidash...if youve never seen one work...its much like some of the video games actually. when you change gears it shows up in the middle of the tach and the tach is the "biggest" gauge...i mean like it shows up its the most visible oh and its in black and white =]]

****UPDATE****

Yes guys, my dad has sent me spy shots of what appears to be a finished board! From these photos we can see how he managed to make the full transfer look factory perfect, aswell as electrical engineer perfect :biglaugh:

Here are the spy pics

Here's what the stock RHD board looked like:

This board, flipped this way, is pretty much THE only way to have a full digi-conversion which will include your tems monitoring system aswell as the electronic boost guage. I'll update with more pics when I hopefully get the new board back in a couple days and begin fitting it properly into my cluster.

knight rider, have you got a fuel sender yet?
i have one here now... pm me here if you need it

eric: you may have to do some fun wiring when you get the harness and other stuff if you are using a 1jz digi dash
in my car when i did the rebuild i wanted a lower km dash so i tried putting in a 1ggte one... the only things that worked were warning lights lol no tacho etc i would assume the same will happen with a 1j one
