ok i figured it out s13 speed sensor is black wire - and green wire + and on the s14 speed sensor solid red wire is + and red with white stripe is - now just connect both and your good to go

damn your clock is bright! does it have its own seperated led bulb to light it up that bright? i never noticed on the reg clusters.

yea that's a led in there i know its bright lol

ok well i figured out the wiring for the speed sensor on the s13 ka the wires are like this black being - and the green wire being + now on the s14 speed sensor the solid red wire is the + and the Red wire with the silver stripe i think it was is the - now connect them + to + and - to - and your good to go

finalgear, you used maxima plugs right? if so, did u wire them up to the usdm cluster sub harness to make it plug and play? what year maxima plugs did u use and could you post what color wires go where for the maxima plug to stock cluster sub harness. thanks

im going to try and get the correct plugs from a newer maxima in the next day or so.

has anyone tackled the fuel gauge being incorrect problem? im wondering if it needs an s14 sensor for that or if you can take the stock cluster's temp gauge part and put it into the type x cluster (probably not). but i'd like to find something to make it work.

looking really good, btw finalgear.

thanks

yea i used the plug from a 95 maxima and yes i wired them up to the usdm sub harness as far as the colors go i didnt do it that way what you do is this plug the harness into the back of the cluster you will know what plug goes where it can only fit in the right socket now use the picture with the numbers on the cluster as a reference and label the wires like #24 to x5 then put them all together once you have them all labeled

ahh got ya, sounds good.

also i forgot to ask earlier, is there anyway to change the digital odo, besides driving?

well i think there might be something inside the cluster that helps it keep memory on the digital odo like a battery or some kind of chip but i never opened mine to find out you can open yours and see what you can find out.

yeah i'll have to investigate then, since i'd like the cluster to be kinda close to what the car has for miles

well plug it in first and see what it says it might be close also it will read in kilometers now than apposed to miles 1.61 km in a mile 0.62 miles in a km so my cluster says 92919 so 92919 kilometer = 57737 mile thats what is on my cluster in miles

yeah good point, btwbesides the clock, are those the stock bulbs, or do u have brighter leds or something

the clock is the only led in there

nice it looks good. im trying to figure out a way to make the fuel gauge read accurately

Let me know if you get anywhere with the fuel gauge. I finally drove my 240 for the first time in 3 months. Broke my leg in June. SUCKS. Still in PT but I couldn't resist taking the car out. White Comet, you have the Part number for the s14 temp sensor?

here is the part number 2508089907

let me check and get back to you. the sensor is at my garage, i'll check and post it

Well, I completed my install of the cluster, but I've yet to fully test it out. I am having one issue though and that's with my EGI relay. It clicks non-stop when the ignition key is set to the ACC position. Soon as I turn to the "ON" or "Start" it stops.

I double checked my wiring and even redid it just to make sure. I tested my old cluster and the relay didn't click. Anyone having similar issues?

The only part of the wiring that I think would give me this issue would be fuel related. The wiring for X8 is confusing me. I split X8 into two so that 24 and 20 were wired in. In the diagram it shows that 20 and 24 from the 240 harness is to be wired with X8. Is this correct or was it a type of some sort?

For the folks who don't have this issue how did you wire 20 and 24 to X8?

i did exactly what you did i just wired them together also did you do the speed sensor and the temp sensor?

No, still haven't installed the s14 speed sensor or the temp sensor. Have yet to drive it so no need too.

Doubt not having the temp or speed sensor would make the EGI relay "click" repeatedly though.

Does your fuel gauge work properly?

it looks like it works properly

i thought the fuel gauge doesnt read accurately

I have my type x cluster hooked up and my fuel gauge does not read accurately. It moves but it is not accurate. With a full tank, the needle dos not point all the way to the top .

finalgear, can you fill up your tank and see what the fuel gauge reads? If anyone got their fuel gauge to work, please let us know!

well iam going to install a s14 fuel sending unit and see if that helps

^ if you have one laying around its worth a try, but i spoke with a service tech at my local nissan dealer and he didnt think that would help. his solution was to slightly tweak the arm that the float is attached to. i plan on trying this to see it i can dial it in

yea i see what your saying and i did that and now my gauge is reading on E lol i think i tweaked it a little to much lol

ok well now i fixed the gauge but the best way to adjust the arm on the pump is to have a full tank of gas then read the gauge then adjust the arm down a little then drop pump back in and test to see where it is repeat as necessary.

Good idea, does it read empty when it's really empty? I think that's more important :-D

i dont know yet i still have more that a quarter tank in there lol.

sweet! i'm still looking for a speed sensor but i have the correct maxima harnesses now and im working on repinning them. the guy at nissan told me bending the arm would work and it looks like it might

yea iam trying to find one for you also
