RB25 temp gauge not working!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey guys I have a wiring specialist harness for my RB that's in a 90 hatch. I can't seem to get the coolant temp gauge to work. I've even put a ka temp sensor in and still nothing. I've checked my wiring for the dash plug and all seems good. So is there a way that I could run a wire straight from the sensor to the gauge and see if I can get it to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't see why you couldn't try that. I assume its the one in your dash? I would grab a pin layout and see which one you have to tap into. Run a dedicated wire from the pin to the sensor. If it starts working, you have got your answer. I personally would do an aftermarket. You're working with a 22 year old cluster. Im in the same boat. Good luck.

either contact Yuri or buy an After market Temp gauge. The stock Gauge is garbage away

by the time your stock guage tells you that you're overheating it's pretty much too late

get an autometer or something and throw that bisch in there
