As you might have seen in the What have you done to your Stagea thread, I recently bought a Nismo 280km/h cluster.

After I bought it, Iain informed me there are two versions, one to work with the factory screen/nav and one that doesn't.

The one that does is RNM50/8HH3, which is the one I have.

If you have freakishly small girly hands (*ahem*Iain*ahem*), you can do this with the steering wheel on. If you don't, you'll mangle it leaving the steering wheel on, and you'll have to do it again, like I do, as none of the screws will line up for the lower plastic cover and the plastic ring round the key barrel. It is damn near impossible to access the lower screws without removing the indicator and wiper stalks.

Andy has posted some instructions on removing the steering wheel already, which you'll find if you search. I might try and update this after I remove the whole thing and do it properly.

It looks the goods, and I'm stoked that my screen still works! Thanks to Iain for the help!

I bet it looks just like mine. lol.

I did it in Aarons driveway in half an hour, I never took the wheel off and the missus says my hands are huge. :whistling:

The indicator/wiper stalks just unplug. Genius Mr. Nissan.

disturbing..

but yeah it shouldn't take long.. we changed his in the dark too

Yeah I will. Dunc has that setup and it looks awesome. Need to get the boost gauge working first. Seen Scott's soldering instructions on here, just need to get around to doing it.

Sorry for the delay Sage, here you go...

I'm not sure if I'm imagining things, but it seems to be more accurate than the stock dash. And looks awesome :thumbsup:

Dash looks very sexy Ryan. LOL @ more accurate. I doubt it could be less accurate than the standard one, haha. Are those your original dash's km's on odometer or did the Nismo odo transfer across? Sorry, no idea how these things work.

Yeah not a stupid question Leon. I figured in these things the odo would be stored in the ECU or somewhere other than the dash.

It's not.

Car had 78,000 on it when I put the Nismo in, after was 65,000. So I've wound back the clock 13,000km, but I figure I have the original dash still, so it can be verified. And it's not as if I replaced it TO wind the clock back.

If anyone is after a cheap cluster, there's one on IM at the moment... http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/148883691&thumb=http://f6.auctions.c.yimg.jp/img341.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/8/4/9/8/ssgmgoo-thumb-1307581850878906.jpg&title=NM35%20NISMO

$178 should get it here landed for around $270.

Also anyone got the easy way to pull off the indicator and wiper stalks? I haven't worked it out :wacko:

Easy, thanks.

Didn't get a chance today, will be a weekend job!

Also I just realised, that cluster on IM will suit someone without the Xanavi screen, as I think it'll be the same as Iain's, which means the leaf won't work (although you might not care).

aww f**k. I just bought this...guess all the display and stuff won't work?

Stupid engrish...

Because seal number the reverse side is RNM50, conformity 4WD and VQ25DET (excludes AR-X)/for manufacturer OPTDVD Nabi equipped car

Thought that meant it WOULD be compatible...garrh

Will my Asuka still work?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
