  1. 1. What do you think of white guage faces?

    • There a great upgrade on the Z
    • I think they look okay but would get a spare set of guages to do it to first
    • They are too ricey for me stick to stock
    • The don't appeal to me but I wouldn't say they wouldn't put me off a potential Z

Aah, OK!

Over here we call it 'Chavved'

Chavs are a sub-culture in the UK, easily identified by:

Their cheap gold sovereign rings - ON EVERY FINGER!

La Coste track suits - WITH PANT LEGS TUCKED INTO THEIR SOCKS!!

Matching baseball caps - AND SCARVES!!!

Their affinity for anything burberry

And they all drive cars like this

Actually, a gage is an instrument and guage refers to size. I know this from ordering pressure and temperature gages on a regular basis for the military. When refering to wire diameter and shotgun shells, guage wuold be appropriate.

Maybe it is the bad Japanse to English translation, but my 1974 factory service manual spells 'gauges'. And so does the Chilton and the Haynes manual. :classic:

They are the same word meaning the same thing. It can be spelled either way. It is kinda like my name it is Chris but could be Cris or Kris they are all the same. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=gauge

I have a set of white face gauge kit for a 240z if anyone interested, new and never opened, selling them since my speedometer is in KM/T, and the kit is MPH.

They are one of few professionally made by an z-enthusiast that never got satisfied with the quality off those kits the z-parts-suppliers sell...

Very nice work and instructions for installation aswell. Will last longer before fading than most others.

Typically ricey is all show no go.

Speaking of ricey. I was reading the entry for ricer on wikipedia, and they had listed "Hoon" as the Australianism of "ricer", which it isn't. Hoon is probably the opposite of ricer. A hoon is usually someone with a car thats either had performace work (or has a powerfull engine as stock), or no work at all (eg an old car to thrash). They arent concerend too much with the cars looks at all. Being a hoon is more about doing of illegal stuff like burouts in carparks etc, and has nothing to do with the cars looks.

Also have the rest of you aussies noticed the ford and holden utes getting around that are all countryfied with rm williams stickers, truck style bull bars, at least 3 CB aerials, (usally 4, one at each corner) etc...... I have a word for them..........."Wheat" LOLROFL
