HOW TO S14 K's Triple DIN gauge Install

[Bizzytony]

Ok since RDM write up was long deleted from FA, and I have just finished installing mine here is my write up with pics.
First off the stuff you’ll need
Triple Din Cluster
Wire nuts or connectors
Electrical tape
300zx oil pressure sensor
1/8 Thread copper coupler
1/8 Threaded plumbing or lamp nipple
Teflon plumbing Tape
Some spare wire 20-16 works nicely(in about 2 foot pieces)
Wire cutters and crimpers
Solder(if your hardcore, most connections wont need it)
The harness for the cluster
If you don’t have the actual harness there are two options

Option A
A spare wire harness from a Nissan cluster with a 4x4 configuration Like this
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02879.jpg
- -
- -
ox
- x
^ That’s the wire configuration you’ll need (- is wire, o is optional, x no wire)
Plug it into the gauge, and follow the directions for the harness(colors are off but wires the same way)

Option B(highly recommend going junkyard or anywhere to get the plug well worth it)
You’ll need some wire, I’d use 14 but that’s me. And a bunch of round end terminals.
Crimp the terminals on the wire. You are going to have to make 4 wires with terminals. Attach them to the following screw terminals.
GND-Ground(yellow)
OTM-Oil Pressure(black)
Turbo-no one got it to work but might as well do it now(purple)
IGN-Ignition(blue)
The colors correspond to the pic
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02877.jpg

Ok now to get started, these are the colors on the harness according to R240NA aka RDM
Black W/Silver Dots-Ground(GND)
Green-Ignition(IGN)
Black-Illumination Dimmer(Ill+)
Red/Blue-Illumination(ILL)
Yellow/Red- Oil Pressure(OTM)
Black/Pink-Boost(Boost)
Now with the harness this is a snap. Im assuming you have removed the a/c trim, radio trim, and radio. Your going to have to pull the cluster too.
First step is to ground the gauge.
With Harness- Grab the Black with Silver Dots wire and ground it.
With Custom Harness- Grab the second from the Top on the right(In mine its Red/White)
With NO harness- Grab The wire you screwed to the GND Screw(In mine Yellow)
Take the wire and ground it, wanting a perfect ground I took a self tapping metal screw and drilled it right into some of the metal frame.
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02884.jpg
Step 2 Getting Illumination
This is by far the hardest part without a harness, this made me undo hours of work and fab up a harness.
With Harness-Grab the Red/Blue and the Black wires
With custom harness- Grab the Top Left and Top Right wires(Mine were green w/purple dots and black)
With No harness- This is tricky you can either try to solder wire on the ends of the two top circuit wire or do it the easy way.
First get about two 1 foot lengths of the automotive wire(22 I think).
Strip off about that much
http://s167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02890.jpg
Fan it out till its only 1 strand thick and bend it at a right angle
http://s167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02891.jpg
The idea is to get it sandwiched under these two little copper connection points(show on cluster for size)
http://s167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02892.jpg
Place the tip of the wire in the hole for the light, place the light in, aligning the wire with the connector, and twist the light in.
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02897.jpg
Get one in the red circle, and one in the purple.
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02877-1.jpg


Step 3 wiring illumination
Grab either your Red/Blue(Reg Harness) your Top Left(Custom) or the wire in the red circle(No Harness). Now you need to splice it into any Red/Blue Wire. I used the wire in the defroster, for 2 reasons its near and I never use my defroster. If you like it more clean be my guest and run it to the cluster.
Now Grab your Black(Reg), or Top Right(custom) Or Wire in the purple circle(No Harness) wire and splice it into any Red/Yellow wire. I used the one in my hazard, just for ease, I also had a spare R/Y behind my deck I will try tapping.
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02882.jpg
The orange wire nut is my Green harness wire tap into R/Y, and the yellow is my harnesses black wire tapped into R/B.

Step 4 Ignition Signal
Now grab your Green(Reg), Bottom Left wire(custom), Or the wire you screwed to the IGN screw. Run it up through the dash(not that hard to find a hole) Now you want to splice it into the White/Red wire running into the harness(on a 95 its right where the screwdriver is pointing)
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02889.jpg
If you have a kouki cluster, just trace the tape from the Battery light to the W/R wire. Now splice in to it.

Step 5 Oil Pressure
The first thing you’ll need is a Oil Pressure sensor from a Z32
http://www.courtesyparts.com/betasite/25070-sensor-oil-pressure-300zx-z32-1990-1996-p-182737.html?cPath=882&
Like that. Try going junkyard or asking a local z guy(got mine for $25)
Keep in mind I did this on a KA. You are going to have to remove the OEM oil pressure switch.
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02904.jpg
On the KA its to the lower right side of the filter. I assume its near there on the SR. The easiest way to remove it was to remove the oil filter, and use a big-ass 1 1/16inch wrench and untwist the whole thing. Now on the KA you will need to put a coupler on the Sensor, the using a threaded nipple thread it into the coupler and thread the other side in the block. you’ll need the coupler/nipple to extend the sensor about 1 inch to clear everything, too long and you’ll hit the alternator.
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02901.jpg
Remember to use Teflon tape on the threads. Now with the sensor in place of the OE unit crimp 2 female spade connectors on 2 wires, connect them to the prongs on the sensor, now ground one, and connect the other to the wire that was running to the OE unit its Yellow/Blue. Now back inside, locate the yellow/blue running to the cluster.
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02886.jpg
Run your Yellow/Red(reg), or your 2nd from the top left wire(custom), or the wire you screwed to OTM(no Harness). Take it to the cluster and cut the yellow/blue and connect it to the wire you ran. Don’t connect it to the cluster, it will just have a faint low oil light on all the time, which would suck.
Step 5 rejoice. Ok you're done. Nothing left to do but fire it up.
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02900.jpg

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/bizzytony/DSC02876.jpg

TROUBLESHOOTING
If it dosent work check all connections. You may have blown the cluster fuse like I did. If you have no cluster illumination, tail lamp fuse.
If you have nothing at all, recheck grounds.
If the oil pressure wont read, switch the ground and the wire at the sensor. Now if someone wants to figure out the boost, please feel free. Thanks for reading.

flipping the housing causes it to have a gap between the radio trim it loos like ass. i tried different ways.

if you found a way to make it work kudos to you.

[illvialuver]

posi rep for you! thanks for that itll come in handy when i have my brother hook that shit up for me( i suck with wires)

ya that is a problem, the cluster itself looks better flipped, to each his own.

any daytime pics of this setup? thanks

the first pic you can see the gap JDM538 is talking bout, i had something in there, guess it fell out. O well, i like it anyway. someone feel free to do the turbo. i will be looking into it when i get an SR so look for it..... in a few years.

[projectRDM]

If you flip the housing and the lens, then trim the top edge, there's no gap. My writeup had that detailed as well as the full pinout and wiring schematic, but I deleted it from FA a few years ago when they told me "you've never done anything for the 240SX community and don't belong on this or any other forum", and then banned me for being mean to a 14yr old kid who wanted to put J30 headlights on his dad's cousin's friend's S14 because he thought it would look cool.

Sadly, my detailing was pretty nice and included the OE plug wiring, Bizzy, no offense but that shit looks butchered to fuck and back, I'm surprised it hasn't caught fire yet. Seriously, wire nuts? In a car? If you like it though, cool, that's all that matters. I would have found a matching plug or repinned the one you used to accommodate the appropriate wiring.

[Bizzytony]

uh i did find a matching plug and i re-pinned it, i was just doing the write up for people without it. and if you read closely it includes the OE plug wiring. but whatever. and i trust wire nuts in my house. i just dont have a cordless soldering iron. so whatever. shet cant we 240 guys just get along?

Russ, I saved that so if you want me to repost it for you please let me know. Did you ever got the Z32 boost sensor to work for the gauges? Here's mine using Russ' direction. Thanks Russ.

[gotta240]

Thanks for the write up...well done.
sorry for the lame, nooooob question, but......

Where can i find the guage bezels? I didn't even know this was out there and have been contemplating just making my own with black plastic and the small guages... This would make things SO much easier.....

(also, were can the steering wheel column pod be found?)

Again, flame if you must...but a little shared info would be great.

this is a self contained unit. you buy it as one thing. needs oe sensors to work. check ebay. or you can just look for a din gauge pod.

[WilloW]

I don't mind posting it, but its Russ' write-up. If he OK it, I'll post it up.

"gotta240", you can get the Mickey Mouse gauges holder from XS-Engineering. Here's the link even
Mickey's Ears (http://www.xs-engineering.com/xsstore/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=22&idproduct=4360)
I ran out to the garage to take a picture of how it looks (trimmed via Russ' write-up), I tried to show it with the dimmer but I don't know how to work this camera yet.

[Koopa Troopa]

Did this come in a specific year? I got a Silvia K's but the din guage wasn't an option for mine...

pretty sure 98 only. lets trade cars you can have the gauge ill take the K from ya. haha jk ya from the ebay sales looks like only 98

[WilloW]

Yup, it came from a Kouki.

"Koopa Troopa, if you could get the boost sensor from the Kouki for me, I'll pay you good money for it.

[projectRDM]

Post it, I forgot what all it said anyway.

The unit was an option on 98 K's Aero models only.

I'm in Iraq right now or I'd try and hook you up.:-/

Cool, thanks for the info guys.:bigok:

I have a feeling that this is not the guide you've deleted. However, I was able to get the gauges working just from this alone so I think it should also help the folks here.

Russ' install guide
Black w/ silver dots-ground
green-ignition
black-illumination dimmer
red/blue-illumination
yellow/red-oil pressure sensor
black/pink-boost sensor

you’ll hook the illumination dimmer wire to the red/yellow in the car, and I'd run ignition to the cluster wire, not behind the radio. Better source. Buy a Z32 oil pressure sending unit and install it in place of the OE switch, ground one side and feed the other to the gauge input. The boost sensor uses a voltage reference, I'm hooking mine up this weekend using the boost sensor that sits on the RH shock tower. 5 volts is maximum input to the gauge as far as I can tell, and that's the output from the ECU, so it should work fine. Also, you'll notice when it gets installed that the gauges are angled slightly towards the rightside, you can flip the outer housing around, but it requires a little trimming and some creativity, and you'll need to mount it in the lower DIN spot, the trim panel has a lip on the top and won't fit right if left in the upper slot.
JDM 3gauge DIN pod, OEM in 98 Silvia K's Aero models. It fits prefect above the radio and has voltmeter, oil pressure, and boost gauges, all whitefaced, looks very nice in SE cars. Easy 6 wire hookup, you'll need a Z32 oil pressure sender and a Z32/S14 boost sensor to make the gauges work

Another thing that I was able to dig up from a similar post was the part number for the gauges.

"SRFiveTen"...i came up with two boost sensors for s14.
one is for zenki s14, 22365-69F00 unique to zenki s14 and another for kouki s14, 25085-89900 sharing p/n with z32 and many others.

The part number highlighted in bold should be the one that works with the boost gauge.

[Bizzytony]

oh goddam $400?!?!? lol
http://www.courtesyparts.com/betasite/sensor-boost-p-305339.html
thats funny. shet. anyone try salvage one of these??

[bardabe]

seems to be the same as the on on the Z32. call RObert over at Z1 motorsports he hooks it up.

[projectRDM]

I've tried the Z32, R32, R33, and S14 Zenki boost sensors, none of them will work.

[driftpolice]

how hard would it be to replace the gauges on this unit with aftermarket gauges?

[Drifting-pedobear]

anyone have a write up/ wana help me out with flipping the shit for us LHD BROS?
ive been DTMing for about an hour now, flipping this and that, theorizing different cuts and such, but i dont want to start cutting my shit up only to find out i could have done it another way...

some one point me in the direction of a write up or PM me and show me how to do it.

from what it looks like, if you flip it it'll have a gap. Wait till ProjectRDM is off pinking and then pm him, maybe he can help.

Just be patient my dude

[blksylv]

sorry to bump an old thread but im interested in how much trimming is necessary before i start cutting and has anyone got the boost gauge to work on it yet?

[s14canyoncity]

What trimming are you referring to? This is a straight drop in under the radio, just remove the din pocket.

Last time i had this installed in my 14 i never got the boost to work, i was told you need a specific boost solenoid/ controller. But if any one out there can correct me on that please do.

[blksylv]

trimming the actual cover so you can flip it so its facing the us drivers side, its not really a big deal ill prolly just install as is honestly

[rbpwrd240]

Just wondering if anyone ever got the boost gauge to work, would the part I need come with an S14 kouki swap or front clip? Anyone wana give me more input on how to trim the panel after you flip it for left hand drive so there isnt that gap?

Thanks
Alex R.

[s13_Angelo]

Instead of the z32 oil sensor can i just use an aftermarket one ?

[s14gmo]

anyone know the bulb size for the s14 din gauges?

[rbpwrd240]

I love this guys, Im glad everyone is interested in this thread. Lets keep using this as an open discussion on the instal, imagine the info we could gather here.

Anyone ever figure out the following:
Trimming the plastic trim for a flip for us USA drivers.
What boost solenoid works with this setup? Iv heard only the boost selonoid from a same year and make kouki.
What size light bulbs fit the DIN?

Thanks
Alex R.

[blksylv]

anyone know the bulb size for the s14 din gauges?


24 iirc, just put leds in mine. you do need a boost sensor from a kouki s14. as far as trimming the plastic i can't really remember. i did mines sometime last year

hello friend. the boost sensor in the sky r32, r33 is the same as the nissan 300zx.
the supply voltage of the sensor is 12volt.

[paciokko]

Instead of the z32 oil sensor can i just use an aftermarket one ?

friend would be recommended to install the sensor 300zx.

[paciokko]

anyone know the bulb size for the s14 din gauges?

bulbs for the dash are these

B8.5d

[Arkitech]

Yes, and hello to you kind sir's. . .

Hold the bottom of the sending unit towards you so the plug part looks like an oddly shaped or fat "T", the prong on your left is the hot lead that you want to run to the gauges. The prong on your right is dead and has no use . . .

You don't have to ground the right prong on the oil pressure sender. It is an unnecessary step. If you look on the Z32 harness, there is only one wire leading the the sending units plug. The other slot on the plug is blank (just plastic). Therefore there is no need to ground it.

Also, there are three T4 bulbs that illuminate the triple gauge cluster for whoever was asking.

Respect

[Arkitech]

Correction, there are three T5 bulbs.

[jerry_beans]

uh i did find a matching plug and i re-pinned it, i was just doing the write up for people without it. and if you read closely it includes the OE plug wiring. but whatever. and i trust wire nuts in my house. i just dont have a cordless soldering iron. so whatever. shet cant we 240 guys just get along?

My quoted signature say it all bud! Looks good in my opinion!

[DriftReddy]

If u guys want I can post pics that I take later today on how to trim the plastic, it took me 10mins with a plastic knife (don't laugh I was in the barracks on deployment and was VERY BORED!!!), I'm going to also contact Nissan about the boost selenoid today...

[LoSt180]

So, I have a 98 Kouki front clip and both pins of the oil pressure sending unit are used. The Z32 has the same sending unit and only uses one pin because there is an actual oil pressure gauge in the 300ZX gauge cluster.

Here's the wire colors on my 98 SR20DET

Yellow/Blue Stripe = Stock dummy light switch for gauge cluster
Yellow/Red Stripe = "Variable Ground" for the oil pressure Gauge


In other words, the sending unit grounds through the engine and there is no reason to ground one of the pins.

I've attached a pic of the sending unit and what the pins are for.


Now if someone could post pics, or instructions on what to trim to flip the gauge cover, that would be great.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190903/2d77786ba9f494e76397a7a49f059a7b.jpg

[LoSt180]

Ok now to get started, these are the colors on the harness according to R240NA aka RDM
Black W/Silver Dots-Ground(GND)
Green-Ignition(IGN)
Black-Illumination Dimmer(Ill+)
Red/Blue-Illumination(ILL)
Yellow/Red- Oil Pressure(OTM)
Black/Pink-Boost(Boost)


I just wanted to provide an update to this wiring. If you have the harness, as well as the pigtail on the 6-pin connector side, the pinout/wiring is as follows:

1 - Black w/ pink-ish dots - Illumination Dimmer
2 - Red/Blue - Illumination
3 - Yellow/Red - Oil Pressure(OTM)
4 - Black - Ground(GND)
5 - Black/Pink - Boost
6 - Green - Ignition(IGN)

The main difference is that on my harness solid black was ground and black with dots was for the dimmer. I spliced everything but Boost and Oil Pressure into the spare cd changer connections in the dash.

Here's a pic of my notes, feel free to PM me if someone finds this and needs clarification.

[151octane]

Would you elaborate more on the 300zx oil sender unit install, why does it need a coupler , why cant I just install it directly since since the 300zx sender unit is 1/8 bpt( I believe) just like.the OEM ka24 .

[LoSt180]

Success! Thank you to this thread.

Did you get the boost gauge to work? Looks like its off the pin in this pic.

Thanks,

[LoSt180]

Yes it works, that's just vacuum at idle.

[Hoffman5982]

So I thought I'd bring this up instead of creating a new one. Just picked one of these up and will be installing it as soon as I can locate a subharness. In the mean time, I got to looking at this thread and my gauges. I really don't like the boost being on the far end and the voltage being closest. While flipping the front plate to aim it to the US drivers side, I found that all 3 individual gauges can be moved around to each spot. The original voltage spot has only 3 of the 4 holes opened, but the boost guage uses that hole for a ground. The hole above it is also a ground, so hopefully that will be enough as that hole on the origianl voltage location is for a different function on the plug(ETS?). I know that this will obviously completely change the wiring diagram around, but that should be plenty easy to figure out. Anyways, here's a pic showing that it can be done. Sorry if this is common knowledge, I haven't seen anyone talking about it. Once I wire it up and get everything working I'll be sure to post which boost sensor I use and how I wired it up.

Looks good I may need to try this. Your going to want to get the OEM JDM Kouki Boost sensor. Its the only one proven to work.

[Hoffman5982]

Do you by chance have the part number for that sensor?

[KiLLeR2001]

Do you by chance have the part number for that sensor?

I do.

Part Number: 25085-89900
Also found on '91+ Z32 TT models, all R33 turbo models.

R32 too, bitch.

I don't want to hear from you, you bitch <3

Derp, all of that info was shared on the first page

[rbpwrd240]

I've tried the Z32, R32, R33, and S14 Zenki boost sensors, none of them will work.

Funny this guy has first hand experience and says the Z32, R33 and S14 Zenki Sensors dont work with the Kouki DIN gauges.

Do as you please but I would just make sure to pick up a kouki sensor.

Just thought I'd share this tid bit of info I found today:

The J30 gauge cluster has the plug needed for these gauges. Obviously a rewire will be needed, but it would have been needed anyways if you're switching the boost guage to the drivers side.

Boy you just saved an unknown amount of DIN Guages form the scrap yard. Props!!!

I was wondering if anyone knows where you could source the boost sensor electrical plug from the harness. Looks like Z32 TT cars had the same connector as kouki boost sensor. Makes sense since they apparently share the same part number. Is there any other cars in the US that you could source this plug from?

[blksylv]

has anybody tested the z32 TT boost sensor to see if it actually works with the gauge?

[rbpwrd240]

^^^^ Really, at least read the thread before you ask that question. The answer is in this thread........:picardfp:

After a bunch of poking around it appears you can use a 300zx coil pack or oxygen sensor plug on a silvia k's boost sensor. So if all you manage to get ahold of is the sensor you should be able to source the plug localy or on ebay as a 300zx 3 pin connector replacement. they are about 10 bucks.

Hope this helps someone.

I do.

Part Number: 25085-89900
Also found on '91+ Z32 TT models, all R33 turbo models.

R32 too, bitch.

At the beginning of the thread one person said that it wouldn't work, then recently somebody said it should work since the part numbers are apparently the same. That's the reason I was asking... :picardfp:

Not sure if this helps or just adds more confusion, but the Kouki boost sensor takes a switched 12V power source. When I was looking over the Z32 FSM, the Z32 boost sensor gets 5V power from the ECU (same with the Zenki boost sensor). So to me that would mean they're not compatible. Giving a Z32 boost sensor full 12V power would either A) fry it, or B) not read correctly.

Gotcha and thanks for the reply. Yea that definitely clears it up. I'll just keep a lookout for kouki one.

[rbpwrd240]

They can be hard to get. I have a spare if anyone needs one but look to pay at least 100 bucks for it.

The new one is 400 FYI....

Here's how I got my boost gauge to work:

Any square boost sensor part number: 25085-89900 from S14, Z32, R32 or R33 will work, if not, check connections or try a different one as my first one didn’t work.

Newer round boost sensors from R34 etc will NOT work with this boost gauge.

Here's wiring diagrams for the R33 GTR triple gauge cluster that I used to get it working. (same info as S14 for boost gauge):

Enjoy :)

Any questions just ask
