I must say, those old OEM digital clusters are some ugly mugs.

Not to jack the thread.
Ive gone through about 5 Speedometers/Gauge clusters for my 90' hatch. We tested everything, it was the speedometer not my connections. Ive heard swapping to a 93 gauge cluster would be better..? any idea?

with the exception of the top tab, the s15 cluster fits into the s14 dash; so just cut/break it off. you have to cut your cluster bezel to make it fit ontop. i was happy after that step but if you want it to look factory or whatever you can fab something up. i might get an s15 cluster bezel and mess with it...just have to find one :P

Damn, this reminds me, I can't remember what model Infiniti car had a digital tach, I was thinking of swapping the analog tach on my car so it would be digital like the speedometer.

I remember I did a 2000 Honda civic SI cluster into my friends 90 civic hatch, had to get a digital speed sensor because the 90 civic's speed sensor was cable driven, it was a fun swap to do, only reason my friend wanted me to do the swap is because he sanded the back of the SI cluster so when he turn on the light the little "SI" emblem would light up

edit: so heres how its going to sit, the bezel is lifted up a little bit in the middle due to the cluster trim on the bottom. I didnt want to cut it yet, but it looks like i will have to. I will try to fit in a boost gauge and something else on the sides, i dont want to waste the space, besides it will look better.

pics with the bezel on

I am thinking about doing one of these Dakota Digital clusters. I wish they were a little cooler looking (more then one color or at least available in white), but for the price and the gauges it comes with its unbeatable.



They're 575 bucks and come with all of the sensors and I've read nothing but great things about Dakota Digital.

Is there anything else that is comparable feature wise that looks a little better but isn't significantly more expensive?

Not really. Maybe VDO Viewline 6 gauge kit? You can find them on ebay once in a while for like $625. It's nothing more than a package of gauges to make your own Broadfield-esque cluster.

The thing I like about the Dakota kits though is that they have the central junction for the wiring, and the only other gauges I know of that do that are way more expensive than the Dakota stuff.

well i just got the wiring done, all i need to do is the fun stuff, matching up the wires. I got like 10 wire done just to get this light up. Im retired for the night though, hopefully tomorrow i can get the rest of it done, except; the speedometer, tach(not sure if i can get away with not having a converter), water temp(not sure either).

by the way, my cluster was cheap but it didn't come with pig tails. I wish i should have just spent more and got the pig tails, its a bitch to make your own harness. You can see in the pic which ones arent wired up yet.

i dont know if i will be able to remember the matching up, its easy, just takes time.

Not that its the most exotic conversion but its easy as hell and you don't have to deal with Kmh's and get a correct redline for the SR20

Zenki UK spec 200sx is direct plug and play for the Zenki USDM 240sx. This is in my car with some LED's in place of the factory bulbs (Ignore the turbo timer).

s2k clusters are cool. not trying to troll u at all, but will all the functions work? as i know from the honda dudes they need like converter boxes and stuff when they do s2k cluster swaps for non s2k motors.

I lowballed the ebay seller and they accepted my offer for this:

its from a nissan stanza with a digital rpm part of the cluster I'm guessing? I've been searching for 30 minutes and haven't been able to find one lit up. It shares the ka24e with my '90 so maybe it won't be too hard to wire up, especially if I can find a plug

edit: FAIL. the shit is a piece of plastic. apparently some just didn't come with tachometers. oh well.

you need a speedo converter box, im not sure about tach and water temp since i havent tried it yet, been busy lately.

so far signal lights and high beam are the ones that i have tried. the seatbelt light went off after a while, not sure if its because of my S14 belts. i matched up 98% of the wires i could, i just need to slap it on the car and try it out.


those Z gauges would look nice, but then it takes up all the space, gauges too big? i like it though and would like to see it done
