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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
