Hi All,
I've got an '82 with the square gauges and would like to swap out the entire instrument cluster for one with the round gauges.
When did Nissan switch to the round gauges?
What I really need to know is which years will physically fit/swap into my '82? I'm not so concerned with the wiring as I am going to fab-in an AutoMeter 1412 quad gauge and 2888 diesel tach, so I'll be doing extensive electrical modifying anyway.
Just need to know what will fit in the same dash hole.
Also, if someone has a good, clear pic of the whole instrument cluster I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Clark

AFAIK, the cluster changed in 1983.

From my 1986:


It should physically bolt in to the earlier dash, but of course the wiring will require much modification, even if you had a cluster from a late diesel.

Bump, because it's fixed now.

Thanks.
Any idea of the diameter of the speedometer?

I'll try to remember to measure it today.
