michael wales Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Might be over thinking it but after ordering new gauge faces I'm struggling to figure out exactly how to remove all the gauges! The car is a 77 and everything is all stock to my knowledge. I've searched the forum and came up empty which leads me to think I'm the only one having issues with this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRC17 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Are you trying to remove the center gauges or the tach/speedo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael wales Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 both but right now I'm working on the three in the center stack. I have the vent section removed and i can see the bottom of the gauges just not sure what all else needs to be removed, I'm just trying to fix the gauge faces.

BluDestiny Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Remove the glove box to get to the center gauges from behind, The tack and speedo and a bit harder. First time I did it, I removed the whole dash, which wasn't bad, but did take a whole day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Removal is described in the FSM (sqwauk - FSM, FSM, sqwawk - where's my cracker?), try the Body Electrical chapter. Pictures, words, etc. You don't need to remove the dash or the glove box on a 280Z (probably not for a 240 either, no offense BD). They come out from the front after you take the AC control panel off. The screws are above the gauge face. Edit - my mistake, they do come out from below once you remove the front panel. It's pretty easy though, nowhere near dash removal level. http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/ Edited November 9, 2013 by NewZed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael wales Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 FSM did the trick for the middle three, the speedo and tach will have to wait! thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOZ UP Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Speedo and tach are easy too. Two screws, one up on the top interior of the front of the gauge, and one on the bottom that you'll have to be upside down for. Not bad, though.
