So I picked up this sexy Silvia gauge cluster for cheap off ebay a while back and finally got to installing it yesterday. After pulling out the old cluster, I realized that the plugs are different so the Silvia cluster isnt just a plug and play replacement.
I then tried just replacing the 240sx tach with the Silvia one, while using the original cluster. The two tachs look identical, and the connections also look the same so I figured it would work, but no go.
If anyone is using the Silvia tach, did you have to rewire it?
is it a HUD?
because those plugs are diffrent
all the rest should be the exact same
BUT are u using a SR or CA or are u using a KAE?
because the SR and DE are the same but the E is diffrent
what is teh redline. If the redline is red dashes starting at 7250 or 7000 (i cant remember) and then a solid red block from 7500+ its a CA18DET tach and will not work. If its a solid red block ONLY frmo 7500rpm on then its an SR tach and that means you should check your wiring at the ecu.
Damn, I think youre right… I thought the CA redline was higher than 7500. From your description it sounds like I have the CA cluster. Ah well, back to the drawing board.
p.s. …anyone want to buy a CA18DET gauge cluster? 8)

Fuel cut is higher on the CA, it’ll rev past 8000rpm, but yeah the literal “red line” is 7500 on it’s tach.
Here’s a pic of my guage cluster on the Silvia (with CA18DET)
