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.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
