- The tachometer on my 1998 S14, like most S14s, had a mind of it's own. In this video I will show you how to fix the infamous S14 tach problem on your 240SX, 200SX, or Silvia. This problem is also found on other various Nissans of the time such as the R33 Skyline. The same procedure should work for those as well (the circuit boards are almost identical). If you have any questions leave them in the comment section below and I will try to answer them.

Chase I've just fixed my rev counter using what you said in this video. Can't thank you enough, the world needs more people like you!
No problem, I'm glad it worked for you!
Also, que up the awesome Initial D -esque music
You're a legend! Perfect instructions, though all the pins didn't need soldering.
I soldered the four joints behind the rev counter. There was no real difference in resistance or inductance and it did not work.
I then soldered the pins of the screw mounting brackets on each corner and amazingly it worked! I did have to remove the dial to reset its position after the first start and corrected it whilst idling fully warm.
But great to see it all in good order. Big thanks!!
Thanks mate. 2022 and this clip is still helping people. tacho fixed exactly how chase showed in the clip.
awesome video! I didn't even think about your solution!!! worked like a charm on my Nissan pathfinder.. and to think I was about to buy a new gauge!!... thank you!!!!!
You are a legend, fixed my terrano! didnt end up doing the chip but everything else, and presto back in action, thanks without end ;)
thank you so much Mr Chase Smotherman, it really works on my nissan sentra 99. it saves me thousand of pesos for the replacement kit.thanks again sir...
Awesome vid. Super good and detailed explanations!
Thanks, fixed! Guys make sure to check the screws at the back of the rev gauge as well. I notice mine were all loose. Tightened them up, could've also been the issue.
Great video. Thanks for the post!
My tach currently has this issue will work on it soon. Thanks for the upload
Thank you for this video. I own a 1996 Nissan Almera with the same problem, and nobody can repair it yet.
I am going to try this on my Frieghtliner FL80. Thanks for the video.

Did this today and it worked out for my 98 240sx.
Worked great!!!!.....Thank you
very informative video, great help... keep it up
Hello from Russia 🤟🏽 and thank u so much! It really helps me alot🥳
awesome vid man! ima try this soon on my s14. hope it works!
Seems like a common problem on Nissan's of this vintage. My Sentra had the same issue with the Speedo. Cold solder joints (or solder fatigue) ~130K miles. It would make sense to do both your speedo & tach while you have everything out. Thanks and take care,
Awesome! You are the best! It worked perfectly! Thank you so much... Please i have a question how can know the right position to put the needle? Because mine starts at 2.5 rpms i dont think is normal to start at those rpms
I like .. good information
Good video and explaination.
Nice video ,just did mine, an it actually works 😁😎
Worked mate cheers!!!🍻🍻🍻
Well done mate
😍😍😍 good job man
Can you pleeaasseee make a video on how to fix the s14 clock?
alot mercury villager had these issue too, we had the 1999 , stick at 1000 rpm, when you rev, it moves slightly
I have a simular problem with the rev counter on my 2005 Hyundai Elantra. The needle remains at zero. My problem is that I don't know how to remove the instrument cluster. You don't perhaps have a video that shows how it is done?
good day sir,ive converted my cluster gauge from without tachometer to with a tachometer one,I cant make the tachometer to work,I connected the tach terminal to the negative side of ignition coil,what could be the problem?thanks
Hi, can you run the original dashboard tachometer on a Nissan S14 Kouki with a rb25det engine? can you guide me how?
Thank you.
For the life of me I couldn't get either light dimmer or cruise control clips out. Now I don't really need neither. Would it be an issue if I just snipped one of them to get at the cluster? Thanks
How exactly do you remelt the solder, sorry for dumb question
Me try it and it work
Is it normal for the rpm needle to be all the way to 8 when removing the cluster
Do you think this will work on my 1980 Saab 99?
hi, i have the same problem with my tachometer. I didnt get what did you do to solve the problem?
my tach sits at 0 when I turn it on and once I give it some gas it starts to rise, but its never right. Will try this out and leave some feedback.
William Perez did it Work?
Is that an S14a cluster in an S14? The steering wheel looks like from the pre-facelift
I know this might be a dumb question and you’re probably not going to reply but it’d be great if you could. My s14 has the same problem and I was just wondering what you meant by remelting the solder? Thanks
Touching the solder with a hot soldering iron
Hi help me
My tacho is dead when I try to start with third battery and the generator fuze 60 is cut then I replaced the fuse and the cluster. But unfortunately is dead again that cost my alot of mony lm bankrupt with dead tacho..
My truck is hyundai65
No mcu on it ..
Is the convertor 12v for radio cause thes or ETACS....THNKS
sorry for my bad English

hey brother so I just pulled the cluster out so that I can turn the airbag light off for saftey. I noticed that one of the 4 screws are missing for the tach. it's labeled airbag next to it. if I replace the screw do you think it will turn the light off
Maybe, I believe the screws actually complete some of the circuits on the back of the cluster. If I still had the car I'd go look but I sold it a while back. Also, you generally have to reset the SRS light if it ever comes on. I'd try just resetting the SRS before I did anything else and see if the light stays off.
Cool thanks image try it out
Was this from a zenki or kouki?
i love you
Fucking interior looks pristine.
I always replace all the bulbs when I take one of these apart.
My problem is that the tachometer needle is moving freely with no tension
Song name please?
Thanks man, my car was the same... also the fuel gauge is acting funny, it marks full when adding a little fuel
Search Nissan gauge calibration, It might fix your issue.
will this also fix the speed too?
Possibly but I doubt it. If your speedometer doesn't work then you most likely have a speed sensor issue.
It jumps up and down.
Nicholas Gontarz any news?
