Nismo gauge cluster=odd things
I recently installed a Nismo gauge cluster in my 03 6mt coupe. Since the install the automatic head lights dont shut off automatically, the interior lights do not come on when you open the doors and the windows do not open a crack when you open the door then go up when you close the door. I was wondering if any one else with the Nismo cluster has noticed the same issues?

Hmmmm..... I don't have the Nismo gauge cluster installed in my 03, but I did swap in the 05/06 gauges into my 03 and have the same problems as you are describing but I'm too lazy to look into it right now. It's weird because I have an 03 6mt and installed a set of 5AT gauges from an 05 and they didn't have that problem, then I swapped in the 05 gauges from a 6MT and they have this problem. I'll rip the dash apart again someday to figure this out....

It's definitely a cluster issue in my case. I had the dash apart at one time and experimented by connecting and disconnecting the cluster. I had the driver side door open and after I disconnected the cluster the interior lights came on and the window rolled down the normal 1/8" or so when the door is opened. Connected the cluster and the window rolled up and the interior lights went out. I double checked and triple checked my connections and everything looked fine. I'll open the dash up again to take a closer look.

I'm not sure if this is of any help to you guys, but I have found that the door pins on the '03s pull an excessive amount of current - like close to 1A. I'm not sure what they drive to pull that kind of load, but it may be something to keep in mind.
The service manual shows the door pins going to a BCM input and to another input, neither of which sould pull much current at all. It seems to me that the problem would be with the cluster either not seeing the actual door pin signal (it comes in on the can-bus) or with the cluster not communicating with the BCM at all.
When a door is open, does the cluster show that it is open?
