Mine is an '88 model, only goes to 8k and the looks like the one on the right.

I think the different style numbers depended on the badge (SE, Sports, Sports Cruising etc).

The cluster in the original post goes up to 9k, but it is the same style as the one on the right, which only goes to 8k.

Also, my cluster doesn't seem to have a check engine light, is it supposed to be next to the cat temp sensor?

i am stupid

checked mine today... 9k rpm revs up to...

ordered my new cluster tonite... 1 week n she will be here mwahahahaha its been painted white in japan (the cluster surround)

so ill just be pinching the actual dials and thats it...

last nite my gf had a stupid idea of pulling off the green bits of the warning lights - so they were clear...

got a headache driving last nite without the green tabs over the indicator and warning lights LOL... theyre goin back on

nah... it was a stupid idea to make them clear...too bright though needs the green slip over it... i dont mind green indicators

once my new cluster arrives next week from jap ill play around with colour options - so excited to have white dials coming!

My cluster is almost the same as the one on the right, except it goes to 9k and has the green behind it, the ceff is apparently a 90 model.

A friend of mine can get the back plate change completely, so you can can have red, white whatever for around 50-100 dollars.

I've been meaning to get mine done, but just to lazy.

my dash is like the one on the right (same lettering) but its manual so none of this park / drive bullshit. Doesnt have the cruise control light though. The rev dial goes to 9k and its a 1988 model. so yea maybe the lettering is based on the model of car it was ......dash light is green though

here are my efforts tonight.

painted the surround

stripped the green sleeve of with yellow globes

but i think i f*@ked up. My mate pulled the needle out of the temp gauge and the tacho, now the temp isn't reading like it used to. So i spose tacho has a good chance of being wrong.

Anyone know how to fix????

Compare the tacho with an aftermarket one, and just get an aftermarket temp gauge, factory temp gauges are way too slow.

from memory thats your projector light button... i think let me check when i finish work

You mean high beam? That's on the other side. If you mean the fog light button then that's not on the cluster. It's some sort of warning light but I can't figure out what for.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
