Nordskog digital gauge cluster

superhuaman · Aug 10, 2006

Does anyone have one of these? What color (red, blue, green, amber) do you like best?

I was thinking about buying one, but I'd like to get some opinions about these first. Personally, I think blue or green would be best. I've only ever seen factory digital clusters in green. But I think blue would look awesome, like Autometer Cobalt gauges

What do YOU think?

i wouldn't. digital are hard to rear under heavy acceleration. unless they have a built in shift light.digital are cool but i only like then if there for the temp of the engine or the oil temp boost level but not to tell your speed or your rpm. the rpm gauge is what keeps me entertained on long car rides.........lol

My friend had one in his Fox, it was pretty cool. Not for me, though.

I like it b/c of not having a speedo cable or jumpy needle. I have a rev limiter, so I dont have to worry about the tach not being "real-time" when I get on it.

whatever car i have like to have a tach for some reason. gives me something to watch on long road trips

but why do you want them anyways? yeah they look cool but do you drag race your car at all at the local strip.

but to each his own as they say.

superhuaman · Aug 10, 2006

no i dont drag race. yet.
ha, but seriously, i think having nice gauges is important.
and, im assuming these are accurate since theyre digital.
IMO this is better than keeping the stock cluster and surrounding it with autometer pieces.

besides, im doing a 2.3 to 5.0 swap, and need to replace the cluster anyway.
blue, green, red, or amber?

what color is the car?

superhuaman · Aug 10, 2006

its the one in the picture...
...so yeah, its red.
but the alpine head unit's buttons are blue...

5.0Droptop · Aug 10, 2006

Im sorry but for the money and headache of that

Why not do this? For around the same cost. Mine are easy to read very accuret and look SCHWEET!!!!!!!!!

blue is supposedly the most plesant color on the eyes, and its pretty easy to read at night. if your headunit is blue as well, then i think it would look awesome. green isnt too eays to read and gives off a wierd glow sometimes...my 67 was green.

superhuaman · Aug 10, 2006

cool, i like blue.

5.0droptop, where did you get that? i think i priced those once and they were more expensive than the nordskog unit.

http://www.smmenterprises.com has the nordskog units for $399

You could buy just the empty cluster and piece your choice of gauges together for less.

Empty Drilled Cluster Housings.……………………………….. $ 150.00

then buy your gauges used or new and save

5.0Droptop · Aug 10, 2006

5.0Droptop · Aug 10, 2006

superhuaman · Aug 10, 2006

oh wow, i just went to summit and looked at autometer...just the speedos and tachs

the speedos are about $250 and the tachs are about $150
i liked the cobalt ones but you are right, lunar is cool too.
but damn, those cost more that the nordskog

5.0Droptop · Aug 10, 2006

yeah but if one thing goes bad on that kit you buy whole new one. if something goes bad on mine I replace one gauge.

superhuaman · Aug 10, 2006

thats true...but its still gonna cost more than any one other thing on the car
