So i'm in the process of stripping the interior to get the whole thing redone in leather and ultrasuede. Got down to the dash and now i'm stuck.

The gauge cluster is a bitch to get out! unplugged the speedo just about jimmied it clear of the dash and now I need to unplug the rest. All plugs look east to do except this black round one with loads of wires to it. There are 2 on the cluster. I tried pulling but its not coming loose and I dont want to force it in fear or breaking something. Anyone had experience with this?

It just pulls out in my R30's. It's not a simple pull out due to friction off all the plugs & I think from memory it has a securing clip as well that needs to be pressed as it's pulled. At the end of each wire is a round pin about 2mm in diameter, so lots of holding force.

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
