Hey! i changed the gauge faces on my 1991 nissan 240sx DOCH KA24DE cluster and now they are all showing wrong measurements! Like the needles are off. Temp gauge, speedo etc. If any one could please help me with that i would appreciate that!!

Thanks in advance

Did you take off the needles to put on the gauge faces?

Strange, I took mine off, put them back on and didn't have any problems. You probably did but I have to ask, did you put them back on in the same position that you took them off?

yea well i tried to put them back as they were but i guess i was not very accurate. so i just ordered a new one from ebay. and at the end when i was done messing with the cluster the needles wouldn't even move so.. it will be a good lesson to me ha

but thanks anyway
