I am in the middle of an RB26 swap on my S14, and I am looking into getting a different set of gauges for the car. I wanted the 7k redline just to be cool, and the 180 km/hr. Reason being I am gonna have to send off my S14 SE cluster to LS Automotive to have them re-program the tach and speedo for it so I can read RPMs and speed when the RB26 swap gets completed. And to add to this, my stock gague cluster is sucking balls at the moment, not reading, skipping, jumping, etc.

So, I have a 1995 240sx SE. This JDM cluster that I am looking at is from a 1997 Silvia. The question is not will it fit, but will the wiring plug up? I know that my cluster has a total of four plugs on it. Three of the four plugs are located right around each other, and the other plug is located on the other side on the cluster by itself. This cluster only appears to have three plugs. Any insight on this?

refer to sport compact car magazine. Sept. 2003, ...www.sportcompactcarweb.com

There, you will discover that the cluster you have will actually fit in the hole, but not perfectly. Alternatively, you can take the faces off and install them in your cluster. LOOK and see what works for you

Lance, thanks for the bump.

However, this is not the RB26 cluster. It is the Silvia cluster (same as 240sx).

from the way the harness "holes" are (the little slots with gold pins) it looks very similar to my stock ones when I pulled it out once.

However, now looking at it, my car has a 4 plug setup. By the looks of it, this cluster is a 3 plug cluster. I think that I can only use a 95-96 240sx/Silvia cluster. I think that 97-98 went to the 3 plug clusters.....
