how do I make a jdm s13 gauge cluster work - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

rains14 · 07-14-2009, 02:11 PM

Hi I have 1990 s13 that has a sr20det in it ,it has a single cam gauge cluster in it right that does not reed the rev or speed so I'm going to pick up a jdm s13 gauge cluster will it just go in or is there more parts/ work that need's to be done to make it work thx guys for the help

bardabe · 07-14-2009, 02:13 PM

it's plug and play dude. just make sure to get the same kind of cluster you have, if you have HUD or Analog get the same style.

reference

analog

HUD

cool thx I have a Analog and I'm getting a Analog jdm

rains14 · 07-27-2009, 06:42 PM

ok I just put in the jdm Analog cluster and it did not work, works the same as the k24e gas and temp are good but no rev or speed there's power going to it and all that but it's just not working , could it be cuz the car was a auto be4 plz help thx what sould I look 4

rains14 · 07-28-2009, 07:54 AM

do I need to take parts from one cluster and put it on the other? plz help

burnsauto · 07-28-2009, 08:12 AM

what speed sensor are you using?

FRoSt415 · 07-28-2009, 09:25 AM

well u stated u have a sr20det, u need to change ur speed sensor so u can read the speed and tach. i would recommend that u just get a cluster from a junkyard. If it is from a dual cam u shall have to change out the speed sensor to a dual cam speed sensor. either way u need to change the speed sensor if u want to keep ur jdm cluster or just get dual cam cluster and still change ur speed sensor. Basically Get a speed sensor either froma junkyard or shop online and get one. Also dont geta jdm speed sensor just because u have a jdm engine a usdm dual cam cluster probablly would have been cheaper and easyer to get then the jdm FYI

well I got the jdm from a friend for $40 but what I care the most for is the rev to work how can I make that happen ? there power going to it and all that but it's not working

Slip&Sliden 240 · 07-28-2009, 10:39 AM

speed sensor will not affect the tach working. I think the wiring was not done right when the SR swap was done. Under the dash by the ECU there is a white plug that leads from the ecu, and plugs into the dash harness. Has that been converted? Is it pluged in? Are the Yellow/red stripe(tach signal) Yellow/green stripe (speed signal) connected?

PS. The JDM and USDM speed sensors are the same no need to swap them

rains14 · 07-28-2009, 08:51 PM

I do have the Yellow/red stripe(tach signal) hook up and I may sure there was a power from the ecu to the dash harness and to the Analog cluster and still no rev

where did I fu"" up is it ok to use the k24e dash harness or do I need the k24de dash harness or do I need to do something ? thx

thx but what I would love to know is how to get my revs to work

teamsprock · 07-29-2009, 08:44 AM

go to frsport.com (they have a tech section on the left hand side of the page, scroll down a bit) and verify that your wiring is correct and that all your plugs are connected properly. If that doesn't work, get the FSM and a test light or mulimeter and start checking for voltages.

i have the same problem...but everything works fine on my boost controller...but i will defenatly try all of this wen i get a chance...i tried to convert the harness but i guess i did it wrong so i will try all this again...=]
