    Good day mga bossing, newbie here. Patulong naman po, pwede pa po ba palitan ang gauges ng sentra ko? d na kasi gumagalaw ng maayos ang speedometer at fuel gauge. Pwede po ba yun? Box type po na sentra 89 ata ang model. Medyo luma na pero good running condition pa po makina, bgay lng po ng papa ko. Saka ano po ba price ng whole body repaint? salamat po sa mga mag rereply.

    perhaps you can get a good replacement for your instrument panel from surplus shops in banawe or evangelista. take note however that you cannot replace the guages only - you need to replace the whole panel.

    repaint (hilamos) costs around 30k to 40k, depending on the shop. some shops offer up to two years warranty but has steeper pricing. shops would also charge more if your car needs to be repaired, i.e., some areas are damaged/dented, or has perhaps rusted through time.

    good luck and welcome to tsikot!

    baka cable lang yan for speedometer, yung sa fuel gauge naman sa floater, tapos yung body repaint mo nasa 15-20k

    Thanks po.

    Possible po bang cable lang? yung speedometer kasi ang sira nya kahit mahina pa takbo nasa 100kph na display nya, yung fuel level naman kahit nka full tank e empty nka display. Salamat po ulit.

    If possible, copy the odometer reading from the old instrument cluster to the replacement one. Hindi pa illegal dito sa atin yung pag-palit ng instrument cluster by unqualified technicians. But just the same, wag sana dayain yung odometer at palabasin na konti lang tinakbo nung auto dahil gusto mapataas ang resale value.

    IMO, a high mileage reading on an old but nice car is pretty much a complement also rather then a bane as it shows that the car has really served the owner well and is in very good condition. I have friends who are proud of the 200K to 300K odometers on their old rides.

    On the speedo, have the cable checked first. If you go for a repaint job, pay attention to the fender portions as rust is a common enemy of the B12 Sentra. If you have badly rusted parts, better to buy a fresh surplus panel. A nice paint job, add OEM 14" Nissan rims or aftermarket 15" rims and the B12 looks very nice and clean.
