you cannot replace just one of the guages because they are all connected just look in my photo albums and you will see what I mean. also you will have to remove the entire dash to take it out. Trust me I have done just that.

Or do what JP_370Z did and just meticulously dismantle each pod in place and throw away the debris as you go.

Here is what I did for guage replacement using prosport guages and removing the dash completely. from left to right I have boost , oil pressure, oil temp in the dash that I can change from red to blue to white depending on my mood and in the glove box I have Air Fuel and exhaust temp. removing the dash is not all that hard following the service manual and taking your time. took me about 2 hrs going really slow to remove it and then only 45 mins to replace it and no rattles or leftover parts except for the old guage cluster. More pics are in my profile album.

great looking set of gauges. Too bad we can't remove the gauges easier. I found this online for the V1

To be honest removing the dash to get to the guages is really not that bad. takes about 2 hours to remove when I did it. For those that want the stock look and wants to use the stock silver rings you need to get 52mm anything larger will not work there.

thanks, one of these days I'll look into it when I got nothing better to do. I'd really like to get the V1 display on one of the gauges even if its modified with LED's or something.

Here is a little better pic. I will take more during the day so you can see them better. but they are prosport premium halo series. They match the dash speedo very well. they have the amber ring around them just like the speedo and such.
As far as the hood lifts I have only about 6 left right now so if you want a set you better hurry.
