NX1600 Cluster In a Zenki S13

Yup, A digital NX1600 cluster in a 89 240 coupe. It was hard, believe me, but I did it just to put away rumors that it couldn't be done, and to shut a few people up. The wiring was the hard part, I hate Nissan wire diagrams, they are so vague about everything, I didn't need to use the NX speed sensor, or the temp sensor, because I have a twin cam swap with a 89 single cam tranny, and I guess the 89 tranny speed sensor puts out the same pulses per revolution as a NX speed sensor. But any way here are the pics.

The rough harness right after it was made Modifying the cluster garnish mounting plate thingy After Modification Had to cut away plastic at the base and the top of where the cluster sits because it the cluster is so tall it was hitting the bottom and the top of the cluster pod. Cleaned up Harness Cluster Mock up Here are some shots of it/me in action
Me,lol The car it was swapped into

Thanks dude, I still gotta fix the cluster garnish, its not quite the right shape. So I am gonna cut the part that surrounds the cluster off, shape it with foam, and have my friend wrap everything in carbon fiber, that's the next step.

@Smurf_240SX : it looks fine, its still really visible even at the brightest time of day, noon.

Looks preety good, but you should have documented what wires you had to splice then it would be a helpful thread instead of a "look what i can do" thread.

That's an easy thing for someone to say, but usually when I'm doing something custom, I'm just trying to get it done. Let alone taking pics through the whole process etc. Only in the past couple years have I started taking a mass amount of pictures when I'm doing something custom. So unfortunately, there are over 15 years of custom work that I don't even have a single picture of.

OP: Nice work on getting the cluster wired up. I assume you simply used a FSM from both vehicles and mated everything together?

I couldn't be bothered. It's not a matter of which wires you have to splice (you have to cut and re-solder every single one of them) it's knowing what each one is for. If you can read Nissan wiring diagrams, know how to solder, and understand how gauge clusters work, you can figure it out all by yourself like I did... And I don't even own a Nissan.

That's very true, Fireblade RX-7 and I were just concentrating on getting it done, I just decided it would be cool to document the installation and the cluster running. It was no easy task, just ask Fireblade, it involved countless hours of staring at Nissan wire diagrams and labeling what each wire from each harness does. And yes, we used both 240sx and NX1600 FSM's and played connect the dots,lol. In total we needed 9 wire diagrams to get it done.

You guys should make those harnesses for those of us with no wiring and soldering skills. I'd pay for a sweet nx cluster in my s13!
