GaugeCraft Custom Pre-Made 350z Gauges: Just Plug-n-Play
Yes, you can change the look of your 350z gauge cluster with your own hands. There are instructions on this great website. But... If you don't want to solder about thirty tiny LED's and would rather just plug a cluster into your car that someone else made, I've got something for you.
GaugeCraft offers Custom Pre-Made 350z Gauge Cluster Sets that match the actual mileage on your car.
That's right… I write the mileage that matches your 350z mileage to the custom 350z gauge cluster. This means there is no down-time sending your gauges off somewhere to be modified and then wait for them to be shipped back. You keep driving while GaugeCraft ships your custom gauges to you. I will also offer to buy your old stock gauges after your upgrade.
I also offer Odometer Correction services.

As you may know the Nissan 350z has Red Needle-Pointers that can not be changed to a different color. By trial & error I found clear needle-pointers from other non-350z gauge clusters that fit the 350z stems on the stepper motors.
That means I can make your pointers any color you desire. Below are examples of clear pointers with blue LED's:
I've done a few mods to my own Z car but, nothing is as cool as when I start that monster at night running what I call the "350z Rice Rocket Red - Fans of NISMO" gauge cluster. Dang... This thing looks like a flipping' Space Ship. My pictures below are not the greatest and it's not that pink...

So I can basically pick any color LED for the backlight and any color LED for the pointers?
What about the color of the background? I see the white with the Z emblem, and I really prefer the Z over the "Nismo". Do you offer colors other than the white for the background?
As for the two smaller gauges in the center dash gauge cluster, I assume that's a separate deal?
I'm interested in getting them all done....

Gaugecraft Color Combos
Hey Fluid1,
Yes sir, you can pick the color combos. The background is called the "faceplate" or "gaugeface" and that can be anything you want. I get the gaugefaces from Al at Black Cat Custom who is the original custom gauge fabricator. You can get any color or design you can think up. No kidding. Al is a little slow on getting them shipped but, he does a great job making these items. Most of the time I get my orders in about two weeks. Please check out Al's website: www.blackcatcustom.com
The gauge faces I have in stock that have the "Z" logo are silver in color. Although in some pictures they do look white. And at night they look black. This color is a very good match for the 350z parts inside that are silver.
As far a the center dash gauge cluster goes, well those ARE INCLUDED in the price. That's right. You get a full set of gauges with your order. You get the main cluster plus the center cluster.

How much for the blue without Z or Nismo?
hey e30cabrio,
That gauge set is the Classic Acree Blue named after the guy who started it all and it's $600.00 for the main cluster & the center cluster. I have one like that ready but, the red-line is not correct for your Z. I can order that 7500 red-line gauge-face for you. No problem.

Are you affiliated with Acree in any way? I am one of his original customers and have a full set of his gauges in my Z. I also know he is from TX and see you are there as well. What is the turn time from order to delivery?
Also, I see you have Acree Blue, can you color match the Defi Blue? Its just a bit lighter than the Acree Blue.

Hey Voboy,
I do not think it is possible. I have done that before with other cars, having my red-line pointing up at 12:00. The reason it can not be done with the 350z is the gauges are not discrete. Both the tach and the speedo are on one PC board. Here is a 350z cluster as pictured in a post by IZB:
I just was messing around with a cluster and the thing I notice is the speedo & tach have a flat side that is the bottom. Impossible to turn because the odometer and LED's stay in the same place and no way to move them.
