I have a HUD that is starting to show signs of the cooler weather messing with it since in the mornings it seems to act erratically. Now, I have an analog gauge cluster for a single slammer that I can swap in, but upon taking it apart the other day, the plugs didnt match. So, what do I need to do to swap it out?

You buy an analog cluster harness from me and that'll solve the problem. Actually, if you want we can trade. Let me know.

Trade for what, the HUD?

This may be a time sensitive issue. Is there any other ways to do this?

I was talking about the harness. I have a harness for analog cluster, so if you want we can trade.

I don't think it's going to be easy. Google 'S14 HUD-Need Help (LARGE Pics)' and click on first link. The guy had JDM s14 digital cluster, but not sure if he made it work not.

You want the actual HUD thats mounted in the top of the dash too?

Have you seen JDM s14 analog cluster with head-up display connected? It's OEM part and that might be plug and play. You have to make a hole on your dash though. Good luck.

ya where in the middle of the cluster is a +/- for the hud display. i have pictures of them but havent found any for sale. but i found the s14 hud. maybe there is a way i can make it work. do you know if it just needs a basic speedo signal power ground? i know it has about 10 wires going into it. and i heard there is a check engine light on it. so im sure it sees that signal as well as a few others. cutting the hole is no big deal. im making my car right hand drive so if i cant make a hole in my dash to accept the hud then i have a huge problem on my hands lol. thanks for you help
