Does anyone know if the R32 cluster will fit in the S13 240sx? How can I make it fit and work? And don't tell me to check the RB or R32 forums. I have a S13 not a R32 and I'm not asking a RB question.

I have the RB20DET engine so I should be fine then. I have a 260kph NISMO cluster. I guessing all I have to do is wire the boost and oil pressure on the cluster. Obviosly NO ONE has done this before so I guess like with the digital climate control. I did the digital climate control swap when I had the KA in my car. Various posts said that it couldn't be done without swapping out the engine and ECU. NEWBS! I even changed the bulbs in the digital climate unti and put in blue LED's. It looks bangin'.

DUH...That's why I'll have to run the RB transmission speed cable to the cluster. It'll work then, homie.

it works it easy, if you can trace cables you can do it. Pull it and figure it out, best way to go about it.

Yes, and don't forget to stretch the cable so it will fit the extra length required between JDM RHD and US LHD cluster location if you don't have RHD!

I ditched the R32 cluster. I don't need it. I did use the tach and I used a speed cable on the RB transmission and now my speedometer works fine. I don't know how accurate it is but I don't really care. Oh well.
