Dash removal for new cluster

[Goon]

Hey guys, anybody have the hot tip on how to remove the dash so i can get to my cluster?, i wanna do a swap for a tacho setup.

What part of the car do i wire up the tacho? since i dont have the original loom connection for it..

Thanks

its a straight swap

from memory

undo your whipper switches and your demister switch

then undo the top part of the dash

then theres 4 screws/bolts that hold the dash in undo them

then theres 2? i think plugs + speedo cable to remove

then just reverse

Thanks heaps man, ill give it a go soon

Anybody have an idea on way my tacho is showing lower revs below 0 ? it go's above 1 using pwr mode.

Hey goon. Read my thread about fitting a tacho/calais dash, it give clear tips, especially regarding the oil pressure sender. the gauge sender id different to the light sender, so is the wiring on the back of the dash. John

Me again goon! The thread i posted was titled "fitting Calais dash to exec", to find it you have to scroll down to the bottom of the VL page then click on the box that has 1 month in it, when it drops down pick 2 months then click on show threads, the thread is about 3/4 of the way down the longer page.

I found your thread mate, it still didnt explain what i wanted, unless i read it incorrect...

I still cant get this tacho to idle the way it should, its like it has a crap signal or something... Should there be a wire coming out of the tacho that go's to somewhere on the cluster setup? maybe the loom?

[Goon]

Okay so i had a read around calasisturbo and found something about a brown with a red strip wire? on the dash loom? and one in the engine bay area?

Anybody be able to say if im on the right track?

im sure ive got a 6 cylinder cluster....

mine was a straight plug in job and it all worked fine. I did use the top cluster loom that came with the cluster tho. my cluster was from a manual car and mine is auto, the only thing i had to do was swap the speedo for my auto one because the manaul cluster does not have a speed sensor to plug into for the auto to kick down. (would change up but never down)
