98 kouki gauge cluster tach and odometer malfunction - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey all, I'm having issues with the gauge cluster on my 98 kouki. The tachometer pegs out as soon as I start the car, and after it warms up a bit, it just bounces all over the place erratically. Also, the odometer isn't working; neither the trip nor the main odo. I've read that these are common problems, but I haven't discovered if there's a fix, or if I'm just supposed to replace it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have the same issues with my cluster as well, but I have a 1JZ in it (could be the problem lol). Speedometer I got working with a speedo interface. But what my question is why why thermostat gauge will work for a few days then not work then work again? What can I check for? Thanks.
