What cluster are you guys using?

Post by **Bluefire** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:52 am

How many of you are using the RB cluster versus the KA cluster? I read that someone might have gotten the tach and speedo to work correctly on the KA cluster, but don't know if this is true...

DOES THE RB25 CLUTSER FIT IN THE SI3 IF IT DOES THEN I'M GOING TO GET A STACKER AND BEZEL.

I chose to use the skylines. I like the look the the skyline cluster over the KAs. Just seems a lot cleaner. Just got to get used to the km/h.

is it mckinneys that might of made or is making the adapter to get the whole stock cluster working?

I am using the stock KA cluster and yes Mckinney motor sport has the adapter for the speedo to work. They are in work for the tach signal for the KA. I am using the Power FC commander for the Tach untill they finish the converter.

KA Tach. My speedo works good. My tach reads half higher. Aftermarket tach. I think sincwe we sued the KA and RB lower harness and KA speed thing, we got the speedo to work.

I'm using the KA cluster. To get the speedo to work, I just used the KA's speed sensor instead of the mechanical RB one. For the tach I just transplanted the tach from the RB cluster into my KA cluster. Works like a charm

This did require some modifiying of the RB tach (mainly the clear plastic crap behind it) so don't do it hoping it's a direct replacement

Im gonna be using the RB cluster, i hate the white faced s14 clusters...ill gladly take the 1.5 hours to repin the rb cluster to the ka harness.

ka cluster here

RB cluster, I also like the look of it better. I got everything BUT the speedo to work, no speed sensor(Trying the KA sensor though) Will update you once on the road.

could somone who is using the rb cluster possibly post a picture of how it fits in the dash(preferably the s13 dash)?

Post by **JonPowell** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:52 am

Will do on monday if noone beats me to it. The car is at the shop and so is the camera.

any pics??

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:52 am

THE R32 CLUSTER DOES NOT DROP INTO THE DASH YOU NEED TO CUT, THE EASIEST WAY TO DO IT IS SWAP THE JDM TACH OVER TO THE KA CLUSTER (WHICH I HAVE AND IT WORKS FINE)

i have a perfect r33 cluster for sale... i went with the mckinny wiring.. so i dont need it..

Post by **Nolimit** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:52 am

Is all your McKinney "wiring" working? (as in the Tach and Spedo?) I'm assuming you mean the adapters?

Post by **cyris3d** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:52 am

spedo no.. but tach yes!.. we tried hooking up a tach and it didnt werk.. so while we were hooking up the SAFC.. it still wasnt gettin a RMp signal.. sooo we figured it must have been grounded out some where.. so with one snip.. wahhla.. it werks..

Post by **rbsileighty** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:52 am

Has anyone ever tried using a autometer tach adaptor? I think there is a chance of this working if you run it off of the motor like you were going to use one of their tachs, then splice the signal into the factory tach. Of course all theory, but it might work. It adjust the signal some how... you can calibrate their speedo's... so this might work.

What do you mean cut? Cut what? I am looking to do an RB25DET into my 93 hatch and was thinking of using to R33 cluster, but it seems really difficult. Also does anyone have any pics of the cluster swap?

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:52 am

THE DASH SKELETON NEED TO BE TRIMMED AND THE TABS ON THE CLUSTER NEED TO BE EITHER CUT OFF OR CUT SHORTER. YOUR ALSO GOING TO NEED TO WEDGE THE CLUSTER IN BECAUSE IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY WIDER.

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:52 am

WE GOT MY ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER WORKING YESTERDAY INCLUDING SPEED, TACH, WATER TEMP, AND FUEL LEVEL.

Post by **Shanglin** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:52 am

Please if you can send pics I am curious to see how it fits and looks. Thanks

Do you still have it?

Post by **AREITU** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:52 am

I'll be doing an RB swap soon. Is it possible to get the McKinney wiring done but retain the RB cluster? (and how much do they charge...can I keep AC too?)

Post by **cyris3d** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:52 am

yes i still have it

Post by **Nolimit** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:52 am

yes, pics Anyone???Or an explaination of what was done, moreso than "clip this, snip that"

puleez!!

Post by **Shanglin** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:52 am

I think the question of pics is being avoided but oh well don't mean to sound like a d$%k any kind of help as to the pics or diagram or directions would be helpful.

Post by **JonPowell** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:52 am

I just gotta install photoshop at work so I can resize the pic. Then I will post it. Possibly tomorrow, I gotta do some **** to the car.
