Hey guys,

I'm going to be picking up an S1 cluster for my GTR this weekend as the S2 doesn't work properly, issues with the electricals or something causing the ODO and fuel guage to not work properly. I am wondering how hard it is to swap these out? Is it a case of take out the dash undo plugs, install new one put back together and go?

hehe yeah. I had done it once with my ole' VL many many moons ago, just not sure about the dash setup for the R32's. I am wondering aswel, being that I have an S2 cluster in there at the moment, would I have to get it calibrated for the S1? Or you think it's likely it was never done for the S2? Just so as the speedo is not out at all ..... Guess the easiest way would be to speed test next to another car heh

Okie dokie, finally got around to installing the new cluster today (had to switch out some of the bulbs from the old one but no biggie) and I have noticed 2 things. The water temp guage does not work (when you turn the ignition to accessories it maxes out then when you kick over ignition it goes flat) and the rev tacho is not working. However ODO and trip counter now working which is waht I wanted. I have put the old one back in again for now.

I was wondering, what would be causing this issue? Would it be the PowerFC? Because it was originally calibrated for the S2 cluster? And then of course would I need to get it recalibrated for the S1 ?

Cheers

The one that is currently installed is the S2 and the one I was installing is a S1 cluster, which the water temp and rev tacho don't work in at the moment. I'm only replacing the cluster because the S2 I have at the moment doesn't have a working odometer or trip counter, the ODO I need to keep track of for me log book.

    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
    • I think even the "commercial" capacity ones that you would hire from supermarkets etc wouldn't have the capacity to do all that much in one go. I will go through half a dozen tanks of solution and dumps/rinses of the waste tank for one little 2 seat sofa. Or similar for one 6 footish rug. That's the price you pay for something small that only takes up a bit of cupboard space, instead of something that takes up the entire laundry cupboard or half the shed.
