j30 tach in 240sx cluster

[RustspecS13]

Yea I agree. It looks fine in the j30 because all the other gauges match it.

I wish you could swap on an s13 face but the numbers wont line up....

less than 1000miles on S13 chassis interesting.

i reset odo to 0, bc engine had 0 miles on it and pretty much EVERYTHING on the car is brand new

Oh c'mon you can tell us if the numbers just rolled over

Oh c'mon you can tell us if the numbers just rolled over

it was originally about 133,000mi on odo

Is there a 6cyl tach that can be swapped into the S14 cluster?

[mattleegee]

got mine today!since my speedo was messed up i put the j30 in also haha

[preston240sx]

lemme know how the speedo works might have to add that with my j30 tach

[mattleegee]

no problem, will do, remember my last speedo was screwy so who knows

im thinking about cutting a hole for that clock to get it back in there, i wonder how neat i could make it?.....

I jsut did this swap today and it works amazing! The only problem i had is i tried to move the needle over so it would match the others... yeah dont try it the part that goes into the mech part of the tack is not long enough and it sucks to get the old one back in the right spot!Also tried the speedo... no go it cant move over. but the odo did... i suddenly went from 259k to 104k... and the old one didnt even work anymore so now i can track millage!

Also tip when moving the tach over:put electrical tape on the windows on the bottom of the tach where warning lights are behind them so the lights at night dont light them up.also the only thing that bothers me is you can see light coming from the right and left saide because its not a perfect fit but hey cheap fix!

[preston240sx]

i spliced tape into those parts so the light would'nt shine though

[mattleegee]

you moved the mileage part over also? i just left mine in there.... hmmmyeah i didnt even bother with the needle part after looking at them

[nos487]

I did mine this week and I had to cut down the three litttle tabs the screws go through. It seems to sit alot flatter after I cut these down. I also used black tape all the way around and trimmed where I could not see any light. For $35.00 not bad at all.

[Nissan2367]

Agreed i paid 35 for mine too and i think it was one of the best 35 i have spent on this car!

[Nissan2367]

Here is a pic of mine. I ended up pulling all the stock lame bulbs out and adding 5 ble led's to match my gauges and radio. I think it turned out well! The only thing i am not a fan of is how you can see light around the stock J30 Tach... but for 35.00 i can live with it. And now i finally know my rpm!Its alot brighter in person my camera kinda sucks!

[mattleegee]

^ did you leave the light in the clock spot?maybe that will brighten up the gauge more, i know you got those symbols covered on the new tach so those wont show

[Nissan2367]

Yeah i thought about that... the crap part is the factory j30 gauge has a green back on it (because factor it lights up green) that is why it lights up a little more dim then the rest but hey it works! Ill add another led behind it to make it a bit brighter next time i pull it out of the car.

[rb25det250sx]

does anyone know if the r33 tach will fit in the s13 cluster??

[DrifterProdigy85]

Im pretty sure the screws in the back dont line up properly.

[Cameron]

they dont.
