Stanza Reverse Glow Gauges Install
« on: Oct 8, 2005, 11:26PM »
Hey, I have some reverse glow gauges, they're the proper ones, just wanted to know if anyone else has installed them before in a stanza or 89-92 maxima (same cluster). Just wanted to know some simple steps to remove the gauge cluster.

Thanks :)

Teh Gauges :P

hmmm looks similiar to the trx cluster ???

Antrx.com el glow ones own it though  8)

Umm not sure mate, Abit of searching around will do the trick, I'm sure someone has done this before (to a trx or equivalent), I don't know about the luck with a stanza though.

To get to the gauges:

- Remove the Switch Panel .. two screws above head unit, two beind ashtray handle, one to hte left of the steering wheel, two to the right. Unplug everything and take out
- Take off the steering column top cover. This helps with the next step. Theres around 6 screws which you have to get from underneath.
- Remove the Airvents part. Three screws below the centre airvents (Note the middle one is longer than all the others), 5 along the top underside, and maybe some more around the steering wheel and all. I use a small flathead screwdriver, just near the right driver airvent, I wedge it between the two parts of the dash and lever it a bit until it kindof 'pops' out, then I remove. Unplug the clock if you've got one.
- Unscrew the guage cluster, theres two on the bottom corners and two on the top above the speedo, sortof.
- Unplug the three plugs from instument cluster, and voila. One of the clips on the middle black plug can be a little awkward with with the clicky thing, so again, small flathead should help. Once unplugged, pull it out :)
- The clear plastic and black circle plastic stuff just clips on, I think its easiest to unclip the bottom then the top. Pull off.

To take the guages off:

- Pop off needles, either with fingers or the flathead underneath and rotate it to lever them.
- Undo the small black screws to lift off the black face.
- Voila! Mod away!

Edit: Sorry, but I really dislike those guages though. EL junk erks me. I drove a lancer with el dials, having giant, constant white (or close enough too) light beaming at you the entire time is annoying. Your pic isn't of that style, atleast when at night, but nonetheless.

Thanks for the info, everything is installed. My temp gauge is off a little bit though, and the tach didn't work at all, so i drove into town and back now the tach is working fine still gotta fix the temp gauge, but other then that everything is working, was simple to put back together as well. I'll post some pics once i wire them up so they GALOW... lol :P thank again.

Ok here you go, some pics of day time (raining) :P

















The temp gauge is off by a little (as you can see it's not resting flush with the needle stopper. I'm waiting on the chrome bezel (that goes over the gauges) to arrive then i'll fix it. :)

Oh and I have a screen too, a Stanza is not complete without a Sony PS2 in the glove box :P haha

i rekon they look pretty good mate. tho they seem to be angled quite high (the guages in tha A pillar), u a tall person? also, i rekon it'd be good if all the guages were in the same colour.

anyways, hope they keep u informed of what's happening under the hood!

The pillar gauges are in the perfect spot for me, I'm not "that" short :P Since the pic I have twisted them around a bit so they're not slanted and stuff, looks a bit better.

I was suprised at the A/F gauge, because we soldered it to the O2 sensor... I had doubts about it working, but it works totally fine. Those pics were taken with the engine off though.

Those guages must be all made by one company in the US. My mate has a Ford Probe that he ordered guages from the US for, and they look exactly the same.
