another nissan complaint....

[Gorilla Unit 33]

Im so upset, i could cry...



....my HUD burnt out last night on my way to Ambler :( you dont know how hard it was for me to find my coupe with a working HUD and full power. Driving on the highway at night will never be the same.

i never knew people liked hud so much. mine didn't come with it so i never got attached...

[xEJ20x]

Was it the actual display or the relay/fuse?


Found this on http://everything2.com/e2node/Nissan%2520240SX....

Digital HUD Gauge Cluster
Another frequently-failing part is the dash cluster. In cars equipped with a digital dash, the HUD may go bad. This is usually a result of solder connections on the HUD unit PC (printed circuit) board failing over time. Some of them are surface mount connections and unless you are fairly skilled with a soldering iron (and have a decent iron!) you will want to simply replace the unit.

Time to break out the sodering iron there bud. Go buy a nice one and see if you can fix it. Honestly, if you mess it up oh well, it's already broken lol.

I saw this earlier! Good thing I remembered it. Hopefully it helps.

[ScubaSteve]

They go all the time. Thats why I never bothered to pay the $100+ people ask for the damn things.

[Gorilla Unit 33]

yes it happened to a G35

[Reidonly]

I miss the HUD in my Grand Prix like whoa. :cry:

[Renegade_]

I didn't trust myself with a soldering iron either until I started taking a bunch of spare wire and some solder I had laying around and started melting em together. I couldn't do it for **** at first but wires are pretty easy. Soldering on a circuit board though could be a bitch.

[twastheglow]

I bought my S13 with a burnt out HUD unit. I drove by tach for 2 years before switching the cluster to an analog unit. I much more prefer the good ole needle.
