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?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
