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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
