I have a 1989 240sx with an S13 SR20DET and my gauges have been acting up lately.

When I accelerate onto the freeway my speedo zooms past 60mph to 85mph~ish, thencreeps back down to the 60mph which is correct, but under acceleration it frequently overstates speed.

Does that sound more like the sensor in the trans going bad or the cluster?

I was thinking about changing my cluster since, on the dyno, the dyno operator said my tach was off by around 1k RPM from the midrange up.

I saw some guys had done an S15 cluster conversion and that sounds like a pain but if someone has already done the wiring conversion that looks like an interesting option. Also, the digital cluster looks pretty cool too even though I don't have a HUD dash. Can I just plug in one of the digital speedo clusters and call it a day?
