You need the digital harness.

^^^ exactly. just stick your hands further in the dash and youll find where it disconnects.

analog>digital though

idk, digital>analog to me when it works.

^ i see what you mean but the cluster itself just looks uneven without the pmh needle.

i got the harness and i even got the heads up display unit for the dash but the mph wouldnt work on either even though everything else works fine

"When it works" being the key phrase here.

And I agree, sort of...

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the cool turquoise glow of my HUD at night. But there's always something comforting when I've got the analog mounted up (because the digital cluster is on a workbench getting ready for me to play Dr. Frankenstein with a soldering iron and a handful of new capacitors)...

...I know the analog isn't going to crap out on me.

If I cared anymore I would do my best Broadfield imitation and run a custom setup or shell out for an Ark MFD or a Sard RD-1, but for the moment my Z has all my attention. That's ok, because like Chuck Norris my S13 doesn't sleep, it waits.

Welcome to the wonderful (continual) world of HUD repair.

You'll be pro at dropping the steering column in no time.

No kidding. I can do this with my eyes closed now in like 2 min.
