I attempted to do this installation via the guide listed in the HOW-TO section

http://nissaninfiniticlub.net/...4.jpg

However, there are inconsistancies with which plug, what color and the number of wires listed as well as some wires on either end (cluster or car) are not listed at all.

My car is a 95' S14 base and the cluster is from a 95' R33 GTS-t. I currently have the following signals connected, according to the guide listed above; I also varified most of them by following the traces on the blue circuit board.

GRND (2 wires)2P (2 wires)IGNFMT/RT/LTMTAMILL + (2 wires)ILL - (2 wires)

Problems:1. The speedometer / Odometer assembly does not register AT ALL.

2. AIR BAG indicator is illuminated, even though it isn't even wired in yet... (possible short?)

The tachometer has already been adjusted for the inline four (KA) and the resistors modified on the rear of the speedo to register 180 MPH instead of KPH.

Here are the wires I've deciphered so far, there are some additional ones as well (Boost + and -, etc) but I will label those later.

-----------------------------------------------------------------GRND - Ground (Common grounds)2P - Speedometer (Input signal, speedometer gauge) [2 WIRES]BAT - 12v Constant (For S14 in-cluster clock)IGN - IgnitionFM - Fuel Meter (Input signal for fuel gauge)CHG - Charge (Indicator, charging/battery issue)T/R - Turn Right (Indicator, right)T/L - Turn Left (Indicator left)TM - Temp Meter (Input signal for coolant temp gauge BRK - Brake (Indicator, lamp for brake issue/brake lamp failure)FUEL - Fuel (Indicator, low fuel)BEAM - Brights (Indicator, high beam headlamps)TAM - Tachometer (Input signal, tachometer gauge)BELT - Seatbelt (Indicator, driver seatbelt not secured)OIL - Oil (Indicator, low oil)AIRBAG - Airbag (Indicator, restrainsystem complication)DOOR - Door Ajar (Indicator, open door)Check ENG - Check Engine (Indicator, ODBI/II complication)ILL + - Illumination + (Positive voltage for dash lighting circuit) [2 WIRES] ILL - - Illumination - (Negative voltage for dash lighting circuit) [2 WIRES] {Two specific ground wires}EXH - Exhaust Overheat (Indicator, abnormal temp of catylst)OM - Oil Meter (Input signal for oil pressure gauge)WASH - Washer Fluid (Indicator, low washer fluid)-----------------------------------------------------------------

Still unsure of the purpose behind the Ignition connection... it seems to correlate with the speedometer, which might be part of my issue. :/

Here are a couple pics of mine.







Any ideas about the speedo would be appreciated. It is also possible that the speedo could just be bad.... at that point, I could just pull my S14 speedo out and fit the assembly into this cluster since they are of the same design.

Thanks,_Kris
