Is the Nissan D21 tach a gauge cluster?
D21 tach.. Forum for the Xterra, Frontier and Hardbody, the smaller workhorses of the Nissan lineup! D21 tach.. ok well my D21 (1987) has a gauge cluster but the cluster doesnt contain a Tach.
Where is the positive and negative on the D21 tach?
Locate a positive and negative inside the cluster to feed the tach with and run a wire to the coil and you can get the signal for it from there (i can find out what wire on the coil to use tomorrow if you intersted and get pics).
Can a 1990 Nissan D21 tach work in a 1990 Hardbody?
I ended up putting that gage cluster from my 1990 2WD in a 1990 4×4 hardbody and the tach didn’t work there either. However, the tach from the 1990 4×4 gage cluster did work in my 2WD. So to sum up… the tach is plug and play. The wiring is there and it will work.
Where is the tachosensor on a Nissan D21 tach?
The TD25 diesel engine has a separate tachosensor near timing gear. The trail of this thingy I got from a local Nissan-dealer. Allthought I checked spare part number and location from HERE. Nissan4u site is a great place for people, who are searching part numbers for their cars.
