As yours, 6 clock GSi dials in a ............... (wait for it) GSi.

Original is best. Fook fitting a digi-gash!

[Mike B GTE]

original GTE 6-clock number. :thumb:

i beg to differ...


i prefer the white ring'd SRi dial's, but in a GSI facia, so it's got the 6 dials, instead of 4 & 2 light's :cool:

[Lee]

6 dial in the track car, and basic non rev counter grandfather clocks in the 1.2 lol

[Nova_Tek]

I have 6 Dial Clocks in my MK1 1.2.

I agree the original dials look best.

[NovaLad]

I want some of them 6 dial ones lol

I have standards without rev counter

[Jack]

None at the mo lol

For MOT it will no doubt be poverty dials

Then I might slap in some spare 6-pod dials

Then I'll eventually get round to fitting the cav dials I have lol

[Lee-170]

Im probly going to get some stick now but i have gsi 6-dials with lockwood white faces and blue leds

i wish i had that much petrol :(
lol

[vaughanmc]

Aye well it was sitting on a hill lol and you know the Nova gauges

Don't see many 1.2's with a fully working 6-dial dash ;)

[Steve]

Sr 6 dials -

Definently the best combination, i fooking hate digidashes lol

They look good ad, is it just a case of fitting the oil pressure gauge and voltmeter to the sri dash?

Ps i'm with steve, i have a full set of working early yellow needle dials.

[Adam]

Fitted the SRI speedo and rev counter to GSi dash :)
As the Sri one dont have the wiring for the oil press gauge etc.

[craig green]

i wish i had that much petrol :(
lol

On all my Nova gauges, thats about a quarter of a tank...... (ie; showing over half!)

[Steve]

A tenner normally puts it up to half! comedy gauges!! lol

[Lee H]

Mine are same as Adam's in the red shed, mix and match of GSi/SRi.

Digi gash in the turbo but too much hassle to change it.

[vaughanmc]

Aye everyone seems to have a good taste in dashboards/clocks

Not as many digi-dashes as I thought...

[Nova_Tek]

Pff :p

http://www.xen0phobiak.f2s.com/novaload/clocks.jpg

Voltage seems a bit low according to your dial mate. Unless you got lights and electrics running. Sorry just looked odd :D . Mine is always at 3/4's when engine is running.

[vaughanmc]

Aye mine sits about that with everything on as well :)

[Iain]

Not as many digi-dashes as I thought...

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[Adam]

Half on the batt gauge is right, around 14v, shouldnt be much higher unless the alts dodgy.

[vaughanmc]

I always wondered what the wee lines meant

So the middle line is 14v ?

[Adam]

Id say so yeah. The 1st white line is around 12v

[Dave.]

number twooooooooooooooooooooooooo

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h80/x_novadose_x/sub%20album/IM001507.jpg

[Nova_Tek]

Thought the middle line was 12v as normally anything below 10v is in the red zone. ECU'd cars will probably cut out.

Know this coz my dads Cav had a dodgey alternator eveytime the bat got discharged the car would throw a fault code for battery under 10v and car would cut out. so thats my asumption

[vaughanmc]

I thought if the battery was full the gauge would sit full...

But I had Calibra Turbo oil and battery gauges in the Nova and the battery always sat about 14v

[Nova_Tek]

With the enigne running it should be like 13.5 - 14.5 volts with a healthy alternator and battery. With electrics on that will go down.

[SRimon]

Aye well it was sitting on a hill lol and you know the Nova gauges

Don't see many 1.2's with a fully working 6-dial dash ;)

Not true

In MK2's the loom for the 6 dial is the same as the 1.2 dash

I had working oil, battery, rev etc just from plugging it in on my old base MK2 nova.

[vaughanmc]

You need a double pin oil pressure switch though ? As the oil gauge will go off the mark

[Nova_Tek]

Yep you need a pressure sender for the light and guage to work otherwie like you said it will spring right round.

[Zach]

personaly i think the digi looks sweet, but i need a flippin car first

[Adam]

With the engine off turn the ign on. Thats your batt voltage (12v)
When running,14ish V is right which sits the gauge around the middle mark. Red is 9/10v

[SRimon]

Ah fair shout, I did only have SRi dials in mine thinking about it.

[vaughanmc]

When my Nova had the standard dials in the petrol gauge worked fine

I have had 3 new sets of clocks in and the petrol gauge hasn't been correct since lol

Any ideas?

[Nova_Tek]

When my ignition is on my guage sits at half or just over. With my engine running the guage sits at 3/4 mark.

http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/2449/30042008191ge2.jpg

As above this is at ignition on sits there at that level or on the black line. Had the door open a while whilst I was working on something so the bat voltage dropped a tad.

Crappy fuel guage maybe?

[Edit] just read your post properly, hmm a bit wierd

Be the actual dial..

Besides i've always found 1.2 fuel gages soooo much more accurate than the 6 dial ones!

[vaughanmc]

With 3 different sets of clocks lol ?

Aye but the 6-dial or 4-dial ones look so much smarter :)

[R1CH]

Some brushed alloy dials i made (back in 2000), thought they were quite cool ...

160mph Cavalier clocks are smart

Why'd you change to 140 ?

Used to over read with the 160 face.

That Looks the nuts!

Now, 10 points to find a nice MK1 digidash conversion! ( And not the bodge artist the other day lol )

They'l still look smart though :)

Post up a pic of them if you can

[novait]

[peester]

got it flocked dude.. like the WRC cars have done..

[Steve]

Looks great peester, glad you got it finished :thumb:

[paulnova]

Digi dash in the daily driver

digi dash in the XE

[Zach]

yeah clocks (nearly wrote cocks):tard: look amazing, i like what youve done with the dash aswell, nice touch

[NovaLad]

Nice clocks NovaLad, were they a straight fit?

[Welsh Dan]

I love you.

[tom_beverley]

I have/had the digidash in mine, fitted by previous owner. I spruced it up a little and bought some of the different coloured films from Dom off MIG and looked really well.

Not sure what I'm going to do now though as the TranX diff I have doesn't run a speedo ring so the speedo won't work. I'm thinking of customising the digi dash to suit and mounting an SPA digi speedo on it somewhere.
