Ok, the swap is done... wish i had some pics to show you gys but my camera is still on its way back to the states. but the car is running great, had a few bumps along the way, but nothing big. just replaced the radiator, due to a crack in the top tank. car is boosting fine little problem with the idle at start up, but it smooths out fast. the only problem i am haveing now is that i cannot get my guages to work... at all. my friend tried everything he culd but still got nothing. they seem to be getting power but they are not reading anything, if you guys culd please send some links my way or post some info it would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

welcome home nico bro! glad to see you made it out alive. im pretty sure there are some posts on here about wiring the gauges. check the swap info sticky or maybe check with some shops. i cant remember exactly when, but recently there was a thread about making the gauges work.

i believe you need some resistors and to adjust the dial on the back of the cluster (for the tach) if all else fails, im pretty sure a skyline cluster will work just fine, they can be had on ebay or sometimes ever here cheaply. good luck and please post some pics!

Thanks,

me and my friend have tried just about everything we culd think of and scaned this site for info but came up insufficient information. we are not exactly sure what the prob is but, nothing works on the cluster, i mean it has power, the sencors light up, but none of the guages work. i just need someone to either post a good link with the steps on wireing them up properly or if anyone has the info on hand to post is on here. i have looked, but as i said i am unable to find what im looking for. also i do have the rb25det cluster but finding a good wire diagram for that is turning out to be difficult as well. thanks,
