The Dash/Cluster swap/conversion thread - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I think its about time we had this thread.

I'm really tired of my s14 dash and I want to put something newer in it, and as much as I'd love to put a S15 dash, they don't come LHD. So while I've explored my options, and pretty much means I'll have to make something custom. I thought I would at least post some of what I have found

NX1600(2000?) cluster in an s13

r32 tach in a s13 cluster

Modified s14 and z33 dash

Hakosuka dash in a s13 *yeah its RHD but its still cool*

Z33 Dash with modified dash bar in S13 with custom center consol

I would like to see other LHD dash options or see if anyone else has done something different other than using a bunch of after market gauges or an AIM Sports/ STACKSTACKSTACK cluster.

srstan · 06-22-2011, 04:28 PM

the top one is awesome!

irax · 06-22-2011, 04:39 PM

Yeah I am really considering an NX digital cluster or an s12 v6 digital cluster
or I35 cluster or G35 cluster

G35

I35

Its blacked out and has super bright LED's

1991 Maxima 5 speed digital cluster

Which would be SOOOO fucking dope because it looks like its a close fit for the s14 dash

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 06-22-2011, 04:42 PM

i would give you a high five if you did an e36 3 series dash swap.

irax · 06-22-2011, 07:13 PM

yeah your work is sick, but I think retro fitting something else would be just as cool

Hoffman5982 · 06-22-2011, 07:13 PM

I'm still interested in seeing what you can do with an s14 cluster

dudermagee · 06-22-2011, 07:23 PM

what no s2k clusters?

irax · 06-22-2011, 07:49 PM

I'm down for an S2k cluster swap, but the redline is way to high for a VQ

R33 Cluster is pretty similar size/shape to an S14 isn't it?

That s2k cluster would be so sick! Did a google search, and it doesn't look like anyone has tried it either. I guess if anyone would know, it would be Broadfield. So, how much work do you think it would be, to get an s2k cluster working in an s13?

future · 06-22-2011, 10:44 PM

is the 90 maxima cluster also digital? I don't thibk there would be too much work in swapping a 90 maxima cluster into 90 240sx. Anybody have related info?

I have no idea. I would need it and an S13 in my hands to play with.

Not yet... that's why I did the free S14 cluster give away. But that still has not come to fruition yet. I have also had tons of people get quotes on doing an S14 cluster, but not a one has ponied up the dough to get it done.

Matej · 06-22-2011, 11:13 PM

Those digital clusters from old Nissan/Datsun cars are pretty cool. Someone should start fitting them into S13 and S14 cluster housings and sell them plug-n-play. I would buy the Maxima one, if it were under 200$.

RedSiBaron · 06-22-2011, 11:21 PM

good luck making an s2k cluster work, its already a lot of work an a lot of extra money in a honda

future · 06-22-2011, 11:55 PM

Some guy on craiglist wires s2k clusters into hondas for pretty cheap. Id also be down for a plug and play kit for the maxima cluster. Toby? Any helphaha, id buy a cluster and ship it out to you if you could work your magic on it

Converting S15 into left hand drive?

you know those are completely custom 1 off dashes with people speculating how much it would cost. There is no such thing as a factory s15 that is LHD

That might be, but someone down here in Hawaii, put an s2k cluster, into a hachiroku. So, if that's possible, I don't see why it wouldn't work on a 240.

irax · 06-23-2011, 06:06 PM

does the hatchi have an F20C or F22C swap?

ballinnmiami240sx · 06-23-2011, 06:17 PM

we tried doing the s2k cluster on out track car.

got it to light up and that was about it. You need to try to convert the s14/s13 analog signals to work with the s2k digital cluster. Aperantly its not easy. The hondda guys do it because some of there clusters are digital. At least thats what we came up with about 2 years ago.

n8RPS13 · 06-23-2011, 06:34 PM

Ib I'm down for us to do a maxima cluster in the s13! Junkyard on saturday?
