    Go for it man. Just be sure to read the build thread closely first, as you can tell from my sig it can be tiresome saying the same thing over and over :p

    Cluster looks great, not too many hotspots with the LEDs - good job!

    Thanks Mr G
    I had to pull the cluster again as the nismo temp gauge no2 resistor had failed causing it to go straight to boiling hot.
    Swapped the temp gauge from my old cluster to the new one.
    Test it and it was all good so in it all went again.

    Good pickup on the cluster and glad you're actually smart enough to replace just a part of a faulty cluster rather than the whole thing - most people aren't.

    I never could get the LED's to light paint evenly. Pulled them out and went back to stock.

    Cheers wanna swap for your vailside cluster :D:D:D
    I drove around for 4 months with my led's half lit with hot spots until I put them in this cluster. Depending on how you put them in depends on wether they light up properly. Take them out spin them around 90degrees and put them back in they will all light up evenly. I only worked this out this afternoon and now they look even more even then what the pic above shows

    Hey that's mad. Good work.

    You should know that after removing and refitting hard pipes more than a few times all that you'll want to do is smash them with a sledgie. Get used to heat gunning/microwaving the couplers...

    Nice mate, very different to the usual shiny or silicon touch.
