Tools needed:

- Medium sized Phillips head screwdriver

- Small size Flat head screwdriver, or similar flat tool for bending tabs.

Time taken, 30mins tops, most likely 15mins.

I am completely trashed after a full day of drinking, so it took me 15 mins just to remove cluster.

There are 4 screws in the cluster surround (the bit with air vents).

There are 4 screws holding the cluster in, and 4 plugs connected to the back of the cluster (probably 3 or 2 if you have factory manual).

Once the cluster is out, and in your hands, clear a space on your work bench (or equivalent area).

Looking at the cluster, you will see the clear cover has 4 tabs at the top and 4 at the bottom, push these tabs in to remove the clear cover.

Don't fiddle with the gauge needles, you will probably put them out of calibration!

Then there is another plastic surround, also 4 tabs at the top and 4 tabs at the bottom, remove this too.

You will now see the individual gauges and if you look hard enough, you can see the green sleeves around some of the bulbs (1 either side of the speedo and tacho, making total of 4).

The sleeves are difficult to get to, so you need to remove the gauges completely.

Looking at the back of the cluster you will see 3 bolts behind the tacho, remove these.

Lift the tacho carefully from the cluster.

Now you have full access to 2 of the green sleeves. Use your flat head screwdriver to get the sleeves out of the cluster.

Reinsert your tacho into the cluster and replace the bolts into the back of the tacho, there are 4 holes for bolts. Put 1 in each side and 1 in the top.

Repeat the same process for your speedo.

If there are any marks on your gauge face plates or clear cover, wipe them clean, then replace the plastic covers.

Replace any bulbs if you removed them.

Plug the cluster back into the car and screw it in place.

Test it works properly.

If all is good replace the cluster surrond and screw it in place.

You may see that the gauge faceplates have a green coating on the back, but this doesn't seem to affect the colouration (much).

Once completed the gauges look alot whiter, but if you are picky like me, you will notice they aren't as white as the picture in the first post, they look a fair bit orange. This is probably due to the fact the standard bulbs are incandescent.

In this other post, a guy has replaced his R33 dash bulbs with compatible aftermarket parker bulbs, I will investigate tomorrow whether this is compatible with cefiro and if it makes decent results.

    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
