JDM cluster on KA, tach doesnt work

[deuceforty]

My odometer stopped working on the cluster in my 95 s14, so i decided to get another cluster to go ahead and swap in. a buddy of mine had just bought a 95 s14 front clip and he gave me the cluster out of it for cheap, he said that last he saw everything on the cluster worked.i finally install it today and the tach jumps from 0-8k before the car is even turned on, and just jumps around. i drove the car for a bit, speedo works, all the other gauges work except for the tach. it stuck at about 8k then gradually went down to 0, then up to about 2k where it jumped from 500-2k back and forth.

i didnt modify any wiring at all, just plugged it straight it. is the cluster dead or what can i do to make it work? it only has 63k km on it, so i didnt think it would be dead...

switch the tach from your old cluster to the new one?

how hard is this to do?

If it's anything like the S13 cluster, it's very easy. I've done it at least 7 times because of switching from SOHC to DOHC, JDM to USDM, and Digital Cluster to Analog cluster and such

You just take it apart and switch the two. Reassemble and have a beer

that a good tutorial there. "have a beer"

Exactly. Unclip the lens, unclip the front housing, remove 3-4 screws, pull tachometer out of cluster. Takes less than a minute.

Anyone else have a good working spare tach they can send me? Mine chooses an rpm and slowly goes higher til it rests on the clock adjustment knob.
