Hello everybody!

Unfortunately I don't own one of your macho cars/engines but I do respect them. :wub:

What I do own is two R33 clusters. One of them is coming from an automatic with the connectors and a piece of the harness on.

I would like to use them on a 4-cylinder SR16VE.N1 engine. Is it true I need some kind of device to manipulate the rpm signal?

I had no luck in finding any dash wiring diagrams besides some regarding the R34 MFD.

I suppose the only difference between a manual and automatic cluster are the extra wires for the gears indicators.

Is that oil pressure dial accurate? I've heard that the stock oil sender often fails. Could I bought a sender and use it or could I use and aftermarket sender? Could a sender be used in parallel to drive two gauges?

Thank you in advance.

sorry to pop your little balloon there buddy but i hope you had the foresight to get all the sensors aswell? if not those are pretty much paperwieghts as none of them will be acurate as the sr16ve sr20de rb sensors all give out differing readings.

the nizmo cluster you'd be better off selling to whom it would be useful, i.e. a r33 owner.

Don't worry I make balloons everyday so they don't pop out that easily... :wub:

Europe drivers besides Northern countries and UK are not used to drive right hand vehicles. They also face silly law restrictions for importing and registration. So whenever we see one these beauties over here everybody takes a camera in hand and starts chasing it... :(

RB engine conversions have just started to become popular. S13 CA18 guys used to upgrade to SR20DET.

So that cluster belongs to me... I could turn it around be hand and imagine I drive that high...

On which sensors are you referring to?

Speed meter sleeve is incompatible with SR transmissions.

Cluster water temp sensor 25080-89907 is the same.

Oil pressure sender 25070-30P01 can be also found on S15/Z32

All the others are simple switches.

Purpleline has provided me an awsome cluster wiring diagram in case anybody else needs it.

I'm kindly dissapointed cause cluster needs modification to fit my vehicle but besides that stock ecu does not drive the tachs at all. Just a small wag on startup.

This device might help people doing similar conversions.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
