Cluster Related Question

[adam1982]

Hey all,

I'm posting this question on behalf of my mate who was recently had a 'special moment' whilst doing the internal LED conversion for his r33.

Long story short, he had almost finished the cluster section of the conversion and in his excitement he knocked the release latch on his work lamp.. The end result was the latch releasing and the work lamp crashing down onto the circuit board on the back of the cluster - putting a nice crack most of the way across it and breaking both bottom mounting tabs. Subsequent attempts to get it working in the car have failed (its gone to car part heaven haha)

I was trying to convince him that the glass is half full and that this is the perfect opportunity for him to justify getting an GTR cluster instead but his bank balance threw that idea out the window LOL

So the plan now is to get another 33 cluster from a wrecker/ebay/forums etc. His main concern is that he doesn't want to end up with a cluster that has an incorrect amount of KMS on it. Neither of us are a fan of trying to modify the kms on the replacement cluster to reflect the correct kms from the original cluster either.

The idea we've got is to take the odometer from the original broken cluster and put it into the replacement cluster, but before we do (and possibly ruin another cluster) I'm hoping you guys might be able to confirm a couple of things:

* Is it possible (and simple enough) to take the odometer from the broken cluster and put it into the replacement one? - Thus giving him a replacement cluster but keeping his original kms?
* Does it matter if he puts a series 2 odometer into a series 1 cluster or visa-versa? (I cant remember if his cluster is S1 or S2)

Thanks in advance

Cheers

I put a Nismo cluster in my GTR and then put the GTR cluster in my Series II GTS-T and just swapped my speedo over to the GTR cluster.

It was a very simple job just take your time to carefully undo the screws and remove and install the speedo.
