Yes, the 2005/2006 has the fuel gauge on the right side.

Thanks bro, I need the kudos on this one, it's been a pain LOL.
I did forget all about the Screen though!!! Still Ugly Yellow mucous colour....

So I'll have to pop it apart later on, I have a clutch to do before I get back to this though. For now, it's just running.

I'm also going to touch up a few spots, there's a dim spot at 8,000 RPM and also at the top of the tach. Just a slight tweak of the LED's should deal with that.

OAN: the gauge face isn't sitting perfectly flat, with it being high gloss, it's noticable in slight bowing/bulging of the face, which I'd assume is normal, but with high gloss it really shows. So i'll try to fix that up and get it perfectly flush as well.

It's good for now, though.

Looks really great. Seems you and the builder worked well together. Do you have the lighting set to change constantly or just when you want?

I was wondering about the odometer lighting being the original color. You think the numbers will be visible with all colors? Regardless you guys did a great job on a truly one of a kind piece. Looks like it was well worth the time and effort.

I know it's a PITA working on the cluster but I wonder why more people don't customize them. Not many people even have the Nismo cluster, from what I've seen anyway and they're a direct swap I believe. I think that's what I'll probably get if I do anything to my cluster. My car is IP so I think the white gauge face would look nice. Just don't want anything too extreme.

Thanks dude. The lighting is controlled via. RF Remote control and has a pile of settings, including, yes, just one colour. Which for me will be where it stays. I'm not operating a mobile disco

And honestly, the Nismo cluster is pretty crappy, IMO. Especially compared to the 05/06 cluster. I don't understand the infatuation with it. And the cost is out of the stratosphere, there's no justification for me.

Call Al up, something like these can be done for you quickly. These are One option I considered. he's already got them drawn up just about. As much as I don't want to see anyone with my gauges, and wan tthis to remain a one-off. I was going to do them al lthe same notch design, obviously.

If possible, I'd ask that you change something about it a little more just so they're not SO muc hthe same.

EDIT: Regarding the screen, I dunno if it'll look right with it changing colours too, or if I should leave it white, I'll have to test it when I pop them back apart.
