ok guys.. i am kinda upset at import inteligence, i mean i know that its not all their fault, but the "how 2" on the indiglo needles said to turn the needle 3 times counterclockwise. The needle has a spring on it, and when I turned it 2 times the spring popped. They should have done a little research before selling these and telling people how to take their needles off when they dont know how to.
okay i feel a little better, on the other hand, does anyone know how much a guage cluster is and where i can get one?
thanks

Your best bet might be to go to a junkyard. Or you can always (shudder)... go to the dealer. Obviously, the dealer will cost more.

I went to a junkyard to find some SE gauges and everyone kept telling me, "I can get you some for $200".

And you should have checked out http://www.maximadriver.com and read the How2 on how to remove the needles. I removed mine to put on my indiglos.

What year do you have? I have a complete guage cluster for sale that came out of my '95 GLE. The odometer has ~70K miles on it. I changed it to an SE cluster this winter.

Make me an offer I can't refuse!

The GLE and GXE have black faces with white letters, the SE has white faces with black letters. Also, IIRC, the '95-'97 have mechanical odometers, the '98-'99 have electonic odometers.

I found a '95 SE whole cluster on copartfinder.com for 150 bucks.. this is a good price i guess since I called Nissan and they said $220 for the MPH and $375 for the RPM

That's what I paid for the SE gauges off of Ebay.
