I am trying to sort out multiple troubles with my cluster in my 91 tb42 I bought a cluster off a 92 model carby and it doesn't plug up so rather than cut a patch lead to suit I am trying to fix my old one
my tacho I got working today (loose wire at coil)
oil pressure is working (didnt need to touch) got a pressure reg a year ago
fuel guage only half working (halfway is empty) 72litre belly tank
volt metre not working where does its remote wire to (I have dual batteries could be a removed wire or is there a fuse or relay for it)
my speedo I am sure is wrong (out by 10-15 kph)
Any help would be great cause so far none of the problems have been in the cluster itself
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
There is some simple tests to check the Fuel Sender in the manual.
The sender should range from 4.3 to 5.7 ohms at FULL. 74.3 to 84.8 ohms at EMPTY.
The wiring to the voltmeter is a yellow/red wire (ignition) and it supplies the speedo, fuel gauge via the printed circuit on the back of the cluster. This is a TB42E gauge cluster. The purple arrow, (under the yellow arrow) should be the ignition wire that supplies the voltmeter.

Sounds like your fuel sender might be the culprit for your fuel gauge issues. Also what size tyres are you running, these will change the speedo, as will different diff ratios.
You might be able to swap various gauges from your spare clusters, too. Once you pop the shroud and clear cover off, it is relatively simple to unscrew them and take them out. What are you going to do with the spare gauge clusters?
I have spent the evening pulling the clusters apart and have gotten everything working again . Basically all the gauges were buggered and I had already changed all the senders the dates on all my gauges eere dated 11/09/91 and the good working cluetrr I got was a 11/91 one so didnt fit so I pulled it apart and used the gauges in my casing (not the speedo or the tacho though cause they are different screw fitting)
