Yeah, it's from the GTSt R32. Apex7 has it too. I pulled mine out and went back to the stock 240sx one. But you have to cut the backing of the dash to get it to fit, and even then its a pain in the *** to get in. But everything has to be wired in. Mine worked but it kept blowing the tail light fuse.

Looking good as always. I might know why you kept blowing your taillamp fuse. Try putting a towell on the backside of your gauge cluster so that it doesn't rest directly on the metal bar behind it. It eventually rubbed a hole in mine and burnt up some of the wiring a couple of times before I figured it out. Then tonight, it took out all the gauges They all went to zero and now I'm f%cked. I'm taking it to a friends shop tomorrow to see if he can't fix it. Hey Branden, why don't you have your fuel gauge hooked up?

I wish you would have figured this out before I sold the cluster....oh well. In those pics I just had the cluster stuffed in there without any wires so it didn't work. Let me know how the cluster thing goes. BTW, I still didn't get my turbo, got just about everythign else, but no turbo.

woops. ah well. for about 5 minutes, I had a fuel gauge, speedo, and a tach! Then I tried to shove the cluster further back in to fit the other pieces in the dash and the fuse blew and everything went to zero and fried something in some of the gauges. I'm almost done glassing that triple-gauge pod. It might even be done by tonight. Depending on how it turns out, I might make some more and put them on ebay or something. I'm idling REALLY high, like 1000-1150 after it warms up! I think that's an idle adjustment screw on the back of the ecu. Hopefully I can get everything working and together by Monday, because I'm having it dyno-tuned (if I can figure out the SAFC install) w/ a wideband o2. What a/f ratio should I try to maintain?

I would say try to maintain around 11.5:1 or 12:1 to be safe. The SAFC install should be easy. Unless your instructions are in japanese. I'm still waiting on my turbo......which sucks. I can't even drive my car. I pulled my stock turbo off a week ago and took the cartridge out of it and broke the turbine wheel off the shaft, ceramic turbos suck. But hopefully it will get here this week and I get it running. From what I hear I'll need a 'spacer' to bolt or weld up to the flange so the compressor will clear the manifold. We'll see next week (hopefully).

the problem is, I have no instructions at all, and I can't find any on the net. Thanks for the info though!

This might help, I didn;t read the info as I don't have time at this moment, but just run a search if it doesn;t work, I just typed in "Apexi SAFC installation instructions" Good luck, also, use the ECU pinout from rb20det.com that should prove helpful again.

Edit**** OK just read it, that'll do it for you as long as you have Acrobat reader, if not let me know I'll save the documents on my comp and send them to your E-mail.
