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.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
