About the cluster, you could check if the ground is going bad or disconnecting, I´m relatively new in the Nissan game but have been fixing up Fords and stuff for a while. When some gauges start to flip out I usually start looking at the ground, If it is only one i go for the connection on the other end.

Great looking car and I second the paint stripper thing, I have read other threads that describe the same problem and paint stripper is the way to go. Just remember to ventilate well and use a mask that can take the fumes, those strippers can cause cancer and no one wants that.

Pulled the cluster out tonight after work and stripped it cleaned all connections i even figgured out how to wind it back ( but i didnt do it i really didnt) looks like the drive that drives the odmeter is a small electric motor that must work off a pulse from somewhere i can power it up (have a vairable voltage dc power supply) but i cant replicate the pulse to get it to turn so im suspecting the little drive motor is dead.Ive found a new one from a wrecker in bawswater for $145.00 which will get me through the road worthy.I might then look at making a custom led dash and replace the gauages with led readouts mmmm just a thought if i can figgure out how many pulses and what voltage the speedo works at but first things first i need the roadworthy...............

We don't have roadworthys here in SA for rego and the like, but what difference does it make if the odo doesn't work for a roadworthy! Hardly dangerous I wouldna thought

I would prolly say it would be along the lines of resale saftey recals and such and since there is a big whohar at the moment on a current afffairs about winding odometers back id'e reakon it would be along those lines
