Hud in a Hatch - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I know that it has been put into a hatch before but I was wondering if you can put a hud cluster into a hatch without swapping the dash. I just want the digital speedo and the tach in the middle. I know you have to by the cluster itself and the harness but what else? Do I have to buy the projector or is that just for the windshield part?

Well I found an article on NICO so if anybody else wanted to know here it is:

Yea but dont you need the harness too? LOL now im confused again. So If I dont want the hud and just the digital cluster I only need the cluster itself and not the harness?

*S13Boosts* · 12-19-2007, 01:53 PM

plug and play

& sub harness

nissandr1ft · 12-19-2007, 01:53 PM

You need the harness, and cluster... but you don't need the HUD projector.

Vernal · 12-19-2007, 02:04 PM

Couldn't you just get a Hud Dash and switch it over duhh

Dousan_PG · 12-23-2007, 10:50 AM

you could do that too but u dont have to edgar
the cluster and subharness works fine

**ThatGuy** · 12-23-2007, 10:56 AM

I got a HUD and Digital cluster from my old parts car. Since I had already swapped in a crack free dash and swapped the VIN plates, I didn't feel like swapping dashes again. So I'm running just the Digital Cluster and I'm saving the HUD dash for my Brother and Sister-in-laws car when they return to the states.

In other words... You can run just the cluster with no problems. Just unplug your current cluster and the sub-harness and install the Digi cluster and sub-harness. Simple.

BTW, it's easier to get to the sub-harness swapped over with the dash removed.

Yea, I guess you can save yourself some time.

johngriff · 12-23-2007, 11:22 AM

I have to swap a HUD into my new car, I will try cutting the dash and giving it an oem look, if it goes ok, I'll do a mini write up.

So If I put in my dohc tach into the sohc digital cluster can I just plug and play with the digital harness or do I have to cut the tach plug off and replace it with my dohc tach plug.

Edgar · 12-23-2007, 01:58 PM

I'm Edgar

LMFAO!

FAIL

Vernal · 12-23-2007, 02:04 PM

yea....I looked back and figured that out but that didnt answer my question. If put in my dohc tach is it still plug and play with the digital harness or do I have to change the tach plug?
