86-Z31 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I was wondering if anyone ls swapped they're z31 and are using stock tach and speedo, I'm trying to keep all my original gauges after the swap, I've heard of Dakota digital but I'm clueless about it, will it take care of all the gauges? 5.3/4l80e... Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Well - I was able to keep them on my 280Z so you should be able to do it on your Z31. You have electronic speedometer and tachometer, correct? contact Dakota Digital and maybe APT instruments and see if they can modify them to take the GM inputs. It should be fairly simple for them. If JCI can convert an S30 tach to take an LS1 input I don't see why these guys can't help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Oops - sorry for the miscommunication. I wasn't thinking you had a digital dash. What I meant was that both your speedometer and your tachometer get an electronic signal input vs. being cable driven. You're correct in that it is probably fairly simple but I haven't seen anything on the web that gives the electrical how-to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
