hey guys, i have searched but havent found what i need so im asking now...i bought white face gauge overlay for my 00 z24 and i read the instructions it said "on domestic vehicles remove the needles" so i done that i didnt break any of them. got my overlay in there all good and i went to reinstall my needles O_O THEY DONT WORK! they feel extremely tight anybody know what to do or do i have to buy a new gauge cluster? i've also heard that you cant just buy a gauge cluster and install it because of the digital odometer?

sry didnt mean to sound like a dick but yea the cluster is @!#$. you cant pull the needles off on the 00+ clusters. you have to find a new one now
Yeah your cluster is toast.
Should have done a search
its all over the forum. Good Luck

you can buy a replacement cluster, just plug yours in, get the number on it, write it in the owners manual or on the back of the title, and then install the new one, dont remove the needles just point them all straight up slide the overlay on, and then move them close to where they were before, start it and they auto calibrate. Then write that new mileage down in the book and write a cluster swap, this will let you calculate how many miles the diff is. So you take:
Origional Miles + Current Mileage Reading(whenever you are trying to find total miles) - What was on the new one when you installed = Total miles on the car

You don't have to do all that, on the 00+ the cluster is plug and play, and will show your correct mileage.

so you guys are shure that the milage is stored in the computer and if i get a instrument clusted at a salvage yard it will be the same milage.....ive emailed procarparts like 10 times complaining. the instructions said to remove the needles on domestic vehicles. it kinda ticks me off.

I will guarentee it. The mileage is stored in the BCM. When you plug it in, at first it will show the old mileage and make a wierd buzzing noise. Then after a second or half, it will show the correct mileage and stop buzzing.
