2002 Owners - gauge issue?

Is this on all G's or just the silver faced '02's? Any owners lemme know, but at night all I loose the tick marks between the major numbers, nothing major just kinda wierd..... I love the way my '98 200SX's gauges looked at night, I actually got MORE tick marks lol..... just wondering...

Chris

i have all the little ticks

Hey Chris,

I have the same thing on mine.. the 15, 25, 35 ticks, etc. don't light up.. wish they did tho.. how did you break your engine in on the first 1k miles? Also, I checked out your pics on your site, you've got a swEEt lookin' G.. what polish/wax do you use?

Thanks for the compliments. So far I've only cleaned her and normally I use Meguair's products they've been great for me.

As for the engine I drove like a grandpa the first 500, though the dealer told me if it was a stick I could launch from 6 grand lol. After that I drove a little more spirited and now I drive normal again. I just had the oil changed and went with the middle stuff synthetic/mineral to chicken to go full synthetic!

When you get some pics post them up here please I'd like to see your color.
Thanks and enjoy your G ride.

Why's that? :confused:

They said and I've heard if you go full synthetic and then drop down to mineral it hurts the engine... I'm afraid someone will mess it up....

Thats pretty much a falsity. Synthetic oils are usually much much better, and you can go back to mineral. The question is: would you want to. Alot of this falsity stems from people complaining about the engine running rougher when they switch back to mineral based oils. This is because they have been running synthetic which helps the engine run much smoother.
There is a reason why Porsche and BMW owners live and die by synthetics (mobil 1 or redline) : because it works. Its good for cars with hydraulic lifers, rockers (like the G20), or direct acting tappets.
