240slide- did you ever do a write up on how to install that rb gauge cluster? would you mind telling me how to wire it up? is that a r32 cluster?

i wonder how close in color matching the wires are between the s13 and s14?

thanks,

Zak

Might have been a pita but wow, it looks so nice compared to the stock one. I'm hoping that someone comes up with a writeup soon .

sorry i didnt do a write upwhen i did it. its a r33 cluster by the way. i just sat there and followed the wires in the back. not that hard but pretty time consuming. the wiring from the s13 to rb cluster is not close. it would also help if you have the pig tails from the rb cluster.

The wires don't match color wize at all. unless just by chance one out of the 30 or so wires does.

I know this may sound really n00b, but to clarify, I have a 93 S13 with the digital instrument cluster and a Oct-94 GTS-T half-cut, if I am correct, the GTS-T cluster will fit correctly into the S-13 dash? If so, all I would need to do is just correctly wire the instrument cluster.

Edit: I just read above.

What does the R32 instrument cluster look like as opposed to the R33?

More or less, you need an R33 wiring chart, S13 wiring chart, and an S14 wiring chart. Use your guide and edit the S14 info and convert to S13. A simple, 3-step process! *ducks* But seriously, is that the logical thought process? I do happen to already posess the R33 FSM & S13 FSM, so I would assume the S14 would not be hard to get as well. I just havent looked since, well, I do not own an S14.

All you have to do is follow the labels on the back of both gauges and right down or label what that wire goes to, then once you have done that for both car and cluster (no matter what combination) you splice together. Thats how it works
