Dismantle V35 Speedo Cluster

Has anyone ever managed to dismantle the speedo cluster?

I have some backlights on my Odo only working intermittently.

I have removed the plastic front cover, but to remove the speedo cluster from the case, you need to remove dial backing to access the mounting screws, but to remove the backing, you need to remove the dials, which I can't seem to do without potentially breaking the dial or the shaft.

there are cutouts at the back of the casing to access the back of the dial shafts, so I am not sure if this is required to remove the dial.

I have read some posts from G35 driver about people removing the dial backing, sanding off the orange tint and using different coloured LEDs to change the dial colour, but none of these seem to give any description of how to remove the dials.

I have a second hand cluster from a NM35. All the globes just twist out from the back of the cluster....which means steering wheel colunm trim comes off and the trim around the keyhole and cluster comes off.

There should be a step by step on here or the stagea section or a US site for the G35.

If you want to buy this cluster just PM me.

Thanks guys, a 2nd hand cluster to practice on is probably the way to go, if only they weren't so expensive!! Some of the G35 forums just suggest you need to pull on the dials (or leaver them off with 2 spoons), and they will pop off. I'm probably not trying hard enough as I don't want to break anything.

Would be best if I can find a S2 cluster so I will have spares if I break anything on mine.

Mark - I assume your M35 cluster is similar to the S1 V35? as I don't recall my cluster having any lights accessible from the rear of the cluster casing.

Sonicii, could you please upload pics of cluster removal once you get there? The part in interest in particular is the removal of the plastic sheet behind the dials. I found no sign of fixing to play with?? Thanks in anticipation. Other than that I have followed everything off this tutorial to remove and been successful. (DIY: Infiniti G35 Instrument Cluster Removal ).

North queensland- Townsville. It might be still interested. There are probably a lot of components in common between the S1 and S2. As long as the dials are the same.

If I ever get there, I will be sure to let you know. From what I can tell, the dials need to be removed, then the backing/sheet can be unclipped, the you can access the screws that hold the electronics in the plastic housing.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
