Anyone running an nx2000 cluster in an rb s13? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I see it in in some s13s and i think it looks sweet but have yet to see it with an RB. Was wondering who has done it successfully and if you can give any pointers or a write up or something. I would also be willing to purchase a plug and play one if someone can.

I saw someone's hatch at 100 Drifters of December that had an RB25 and ran one of these. I don't have one but wiring shouldn't be too bad. You might need a Dakota Digital speedo interface.

wiring should be the same since you are installing it into the same chassis, however you will need a Dakota RPM Signal converter and a Dakota Speed signal converter if you want to have a correct signal display.

Are the dakota converters the only solution? How hard are those to install? I looked and it seems a little confusing

Bump... anyone?

They are easy to install. I have mine coming in later this week.
1. Switched Power and Ground like any gauge you've installed
2. Input from ignitor
3. Send it to your tach
4. Adjust accordingly

Edit: oops I didn't see that originally you're looking for installing the entire cluster...I know I've search for it before and found some ok tutorials.

Here is a write up i made awhile back. Message me if you have any questions. Pretty straight forward wiring setup.

Do NX clusters not have the resistor screw for adjusting the tach like S13 & S14 do? Would save you a lot of trouble with that Dakota bullshit.

I dont believe so. I would also assume that whatever you need to get the rb working properly with a regular s13 cluster would be the exact same for the nx cluster.

well my tach works but my speedo is double. so iam going to look for a pulsar nx vss along with buying a temp sensor.

Awesome write up! Booked marked for when i finally can find a cluster. one thing i was unsure of, are s13 cluster plugs the same as nx? Or do i need the plugs when getting a cluster

supersayianjim · 03-11-2015, 11:34 AM

you need a cluster pig-tail from a analog cluster.

All you need is an s14 speed sensor. Described in my how-to

You will need the nx pigtail to splice into.
