Gauge Cluster Swap
 

Well,
My wife drove to work last week and all the lights on the left gauge went dead. I can see the MPG bars working but the back lighting is off.

I spotted a NISMO cluster on ebay and decided to swap them out. I like the new TAC, the color matches my platinum graphite, looks good. Tested it and lights are still out on left side.

I checked all the fuses, and doing my research to figure out the pins for the gauge cluster plugs. Will post updates if i figure out what my issue is.

I've read that the shipping plug caused some issues, mine is an 09 and doesn't have that plug. This should be fun, I really hate wiring. If anyone knows what may have caused the Temp, Fuel, MPG back lighting to go off please let me know. Thanks

The FSM might have something useful for you, but it usually treats the instrument cluster as one, no-servicable-parts item.

I don't think a MT cluster works on a 7AT

Has anybody tried it? The params that aren't transmission-specific (tach, speed, &c) may still work.

Works fine! Shows Park, Reverse, Dr. 1234567...


I'll check the FSM, thanks guy's.

Glad to hear it. :tup:

Turns out the gauge lights was a fuze after all. Hard to tell, tey are so small. I missed one. All is working so far.

Damn... I didn't know that.

I remember reading that they were different...

Is your mileage the old mileage? Or what was on the cluster?

I'm betting the mileage will change to what's on the nismo guage.

Yes it has, i need to get it set at the dealer. Also think the NISMO cluster is working due to mine being a sport touring model. Yes it's AT but it also has rev match.

Kelly and i spoke tonight and figured out that installing a base model gauge cluster would probably not work. Can't confirm, don't have one. But so far so good.m

Will swap motor next weekend. I'll take lots of pictures.

I dunno... Just don't set it... Lol

And I'll be looking for a Nismo cluster too now that I know the 09 sport touring will accept a Nismo cluster

I would have guessed odometer data is stored in the ECM. Apparently not. Filed for future reference.

glad you got it working!! can you post pics of the nismo cluster with the AT showing? lol

Update:
 

I got to put the car threw the paces today.
1. Gauges all work with MYT Gauge cluster
2. Drive, Park, Neutral, Revers all shows on my 7AT
3. I went from 70,000 miles to 39,000 miles
4. The paddle shift does NOT WORK!!!!

So don't do the swap out if you use your paddle shifter.
Thats what i get for asking my wife if it worked when she drove to work. Sorry guys..

I'll pull the cluster apart and install the face into mine. :owned:

This is when you put your original odo in and the mileage will still read 39k LOL.

Hopefully not. By the way the link you posted in your first post is talking about buying the new 370z when it first came out. Doesn't show how to remove the odometer.
