How Many Different S13 Clusters Were Made?

[kouki_silvia]

hi i was wondering how many different clusters were made for the s13...for example usdm, jdm, etc.. ive only seen the jdm one and would like to see pics of any different ones...like cdm, edm, so on and so on...thanks!:o

[LongGrain]

there were 2 different SOHC analog clusters for US one with white needles, one with orange, and also a digital one for both SOHC and DOHC. then there was the DOHC analog one (basically the same, different redline tho

that covers US models i think..

[smelly240]

plus theres the kouki 180 ones... silver faces, red needles, digital odo, different lights/pictures

then i think there were different bezels u could get as an option???

the cdm i think has big KPH and little MPH - opposite of ours ??? confirmation ???

And the Nismo clusters.. if you want to count those

[S13Boosts]

lets see some pics!:aw:

[skylindrftr]

Depending on what options you got the car with, the little lights on the right and left sides under the gas and water temp gauges will be different.

[smelly240]

plus that kouki 180 cluster - doesnt have the little lights - instead the pictures light up. - in case i wasnt clear about it.

everything is there even if you don't have the options, they just aren't wired up.

I prefer my gross looking Hud cluster.


at least the tach is centered.

[ripnbst]

+1 on loving the kouki cluster.

Ive never seen a sohc cluster with orange needles

[silviatunersr20]

Agh dammit now thats just one more thing I gotta find and buy!

I have the regular 180sx gauges but never thoght that the kouki would be diff.

[sblack13]

has anyone installed the kouki cluster? same straight forward installation? and more pics would be great.
U.S clusters are pretty much the same, well except for redline difference. And speedo is 10 20 30 40 etc and 15 25 35 in 89-90's.

i have, but there arent too many of em floating around

thanks cdlong didn't know that, mine has this weird one that looks like a catalytic convertor or some shit, maybe a light that says if that cat isnt up to operating temp yet?

oh also i think it is the zenki clusters that are different

ex. the ca18 tachs have a different redline look, they are small lines instead of one solid one

[DreamN]

same question.

I would really like that cluster. If it's a plug and play deal then I'll add it on to the list of things to buy :D

[hustlervibes]

Even if it's not plug and play just make sure you get one with the harness still attatched with a little bit of wire coming out the back and convert it over. But it might be? I know the S14 ones are but the zenki and kouki are different.

[smelly240]

kouki cluster shouldnt be hard - if u can wire in a s15 this should be cake.

Kouki cluster is DEFINITELY not plug & play.

I'll be wiring mine into my 240sx when we get back (whenever that is...)

Really?

I have only seen a couple done, but from looking at it, I feel like if you pull the sub harness out of the car, you should be able to plug it into a 240sx, like when you put a digital cluster in a non-HUD car.

I could very well, and probably am wrong, but I was just thinkin... :cj:

[IIIXziuR]

Yeah that kouki 180sx cluster looks fresh.
Nice way to freshen up the interior on a 240sx

Exhaust overheat. JDM cars don't run a converter.

[LongGrain]

Ive never seen a sohc cluster with orange needles

my first fastback had them, but i havent seen another 240 with them, if i woulda known it was so rare i woulda made sure my friend kept the cluster before sending her to the junkyard.

i coulda sworn i have seen 180sx's and silvia's w/ cats....

[kouki_silvia]

damn that NISMO one is sick! just not diggin the shiny silver bezel...

*cough* Really, Russ? All of our cars have been equipped with cats (excepting the 180sx we purchased with a turbo-back complete exhaust, which we needed to find a cat to use to pass Shaken).

I feel like if you pull the sub harness out of the car, you should be able to plug it into a 240sx, like when you put a digital cluster in a non-HUD car.

I suppose I could try that out. I DO have the harness coming out of the back of the kouki cluster..

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

i never understood why us clusters have check engine lights and the jdm one don't?

i think there area couple variations of the Nismo cluster

there is also a Tomei 260km one too

[skylindrftr]

there are many aftermarket speedos for the 180sx/silvia cluster...

edit: oops i mean speedos

[Arce_GTR]

are there any high mph clusters? higher than 120...

[Tearlessj]

damn that NISMO one is sick! just not diggin the shiny silver bezel...
Its cool and rare and all, but I wish the Tach just went a little higher. It cost too much to just look like a factory cluster.

[Yuri]

Digital goes up to 199mph. ;)

[okterrific]

no it doesn't, it caps out before then (weak sauce)

Really? At what?
I've never owned a 240 with a high enough top end to test out this theory.

really? my friend had a chuki w/ factory hud and it was green

im also curious as to what the digital speedos stop at

[Gnnr]

You can calibrate it to read in MPH. So you can get 180mph

[Yuri]

The HUD itself is green on both versions (from what I know), it's the dash display that changes color.

[okterrific]

I have a chuki digital cluster/HUD and it is not orange. It is the blue/green/white kind of color for both the speedo and the HUD.

[kouki_silvia]

yeah i was reading on some km conversion to mph so a jdm cluster could be made to read 180mph instead of km, but it was for a S14...any instructions on how to do this?:naughtyd:

[kouki_silvia]

anyone know?
