bigeZ Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 My 83zx na has a digital dash and I was wondering if the analog speedo cluster would swap in without any modifications? I’ve looked at pics of the backs of both the analog and digital cluster and they appear to be similar. If anybody else has done this swap please let me know if there are any modifications I need to do like cutting wiring or something else. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edz280zx Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I know in the Z31 you have to swap out the dash harness too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 They are not the same. You will need to replace the dash harness, the temp sensor and maybe the fuel level sensor. I did a swap from analog to digital a long time ago and I didn't have to replace the fuel sensor. However I've heard some people said that they had to replace the fuel level sensor. I have the analog harness if you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xShodaimex Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 if you had to change the rheostat from changing analog to digi, then wouldnt you have to change the digi rheostat with the regular one? or just switch out the whole sending unit??

ZXR_KiD Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 we swaped a digital into an analog car with just the dash harness, didn't swap anything elese and everything worked just fine, I don't think theres a problem doing it without swapping the other components.

Brad-ManQ45 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 The coolant temp sensor needs to be replaced - my gas guage reads right as rain. You do need the analog harness unless you LIKE splicing....You may also need to swap out the defroster switch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZXR_KiD Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 yea I forgot about the defroster switch, the connector is quite a bit different, the defrost never worked in ours so we didn't mess with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
