CGT digital to analog conversion issues

[David]

There is a guy on AudiWorld who converted to analog gauges, although he used standard VDO rounds. If you are not an AW member, I'll try to contact him for you. I realize you aren't nuts about the digital dash, but consider putting one back in. I hated mine at first but have grown used to it, and now actually like it. You have a very rare CGT Commemerative Edition there, and I think she deserves to be kept as stock and unmolested as possible...but either way, I'd be glad to help contact the guy on AW if you're not a member.

> Greetings Audinauts,
> Having settled the Datsun crunch issue and picked up a Coupe for daily driver duties, I am contemplating how to resolve the gauge issues. Namely there aren't any except for the console ones. Voltage and oil temp are okay (grin) but I need to get at least a working speedo to register the thing. I have access to a complete GT dash at bargain prices (analog) and am thinking that I prefer it to digital. (Based on roommate's '86 GT with digital- I don't like it even when it works!)
> Has anyone broken down the pinouts of the plugs on the backs of each cluster? I know they're probably quite different, obviously, but i figure it's a matter of hooking up a speedometer cable and matching up the harnesses.

> It's fun to have a Coupe again. It's not much slower than the 240Z, and more spacious, quieter, and if anything, even more unique out on the road (unless convoying with Ken and Tom in their '86s also!)
