Hey guys,

I'm going to be picking up an S1 cluster for my GTR this weekend as the S2 doesn't work properly, issues with the electricals or something causing the ODO and fuel guage to not work properly. I am wondering how hard it is to swap these out? Is it a case of take out the dash undo plugs, install new one put back together and go?

hehe yeah. I had done it once with my ole' VL many many moons ago, just not sure about the dash setup for the R32's. I am wondering aswel, being that I have an S2 cluster in there at the moment, would I have to get it calibrated for the S1? Or you think it's likely it was never done for the S2? Just so as the speedo is not out at all ..... Guess the easiest way would be to speed test next to another car heh

Okie dokie, finally got around to installing the new cluster today (had to switch out some of the bulbs from the old one but no biggie) and I have noticed 2 things. The water temp guage does not work (when you turn the ignition to accessories it maxes out then when you kick over ignition it goes flat) and the rev tacho is not working. However ODO and trip counter now working which is waht I wanted. I have put the old one back in again for now.

I was wondering, what would be causing this issue? Would it be the PowerFC? Because it was originally calibrated for the S2 cluster? And then of course would I need to get it recalibrated for the S1 ?

Cheers

The one that is currently installed is the S2 and the one I was installing is a S1 cluster, which the water temp and rev tacho don't work in at the moment. I'm only replacing the cluster because the S2 I have at the moment doesn't have a working odometer or trip counter, the ODO I need to keep track of for me log book.

    • Nah, shouldn't have made any difference. Reds on, or car running, should be same same for what you were doing.

    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
