Thread: B13 Cluster swap thoughts

So i'm planning to install a Sunpro 2 5/8" Super Tach II since my 1.6 B13 doesnt have one.

Its only 29.99 at autozone and since I work there I get 20% employee discount. Looks very easy to install as well and would be less work than swapping in a new cluster.

But then again I want the oem look. I'm not sure if any 1.6 b13 had a rpm tach in the cluster but I know 1.6 b14's have em. I've done my research on the forums, but it looks a lil more challenging to install the cluster than installing an aftermarket tach. I do have wiring install and modification install cause I learned with my p11.

I'm not sure how much the clusters go for at the junkyard but im guessing somewhere $45+. Pick your part will be having a 50% off memorial day weekend special so ima go hunting for a 1.6 cluster.

So im trying to figure out on what to do.

Suggestions, opnions, recommendations are welcome.

Put a nx1600 cluster in. Lot of wiring but very cool end result.

the 91-94 se and gxe model came with tach, but you have to do some re-pinning and run a wire for the tach signal from the ecu. not hard ,just tedious work. do a search on the other forum on the tech library

mexican tsurus 1.6 came with tachometer on some applications... i know my office's GS2 does come with one... if you want one let me know i think i can hook you up with one...

heres the how to on the install.... this is a mexican forum but i can translate it if you need it... cheers

thats the one that looks like your driving a spaceship/airplane?

thanks for letting me know. It will make it easier for me hunting down the right sentra at the junkyard.


Your clusters are in kmh and If I put one i'm gonna be wondering what is the actual speed im driving, lol. Is it possible to just change the faceplate of only the speedometer so I can have mph instead of kmh.

How much can you get them for? I understand spanish cause i'm latino but i'll have a hard time reading it since i'm not that fluent.

yeah you can just translate it in yahoos babel fish LOL... anyways i think you can change the faceplate... actually mine does only read in km/h... but i don't see why you couldnt change the whole speedo and just add yours to the "new" cluster... i've got a needle less b13 sr20 car here it reads a little more rpm's but you can have it for mostly nothin... shippin might be expensive tought.... i can get the ga16's one but i'd need to look for it a little

Today I went to the junkyard and found the only 1.6 cluster with a tach, all sentra clusters were gone n gutted. total was $14.xx. Theyres a 50% off sale for memorial weekend.

its from a b14






Ive read around about some being cable or electronic.

Is it possible for a swap from cable to electronic?

nice find...
