Is it worth it to post it up for sale here or should I save myself the headache and try to leave it with my family in OR to try and sell over the net? Obviously the market is bigger here, but I'm not sure about the legality/liability of selling an out of state registered car in CA.

Is there a reason you don't think it will pass? (I don't work for the state of CA, btw.) :)

On the subject of gauge clusters, has anyone had their printed circuit board fail within the cluster itself? My tachometer has been intermittent since I've had the car, and I had replaced the SI board with the m42 and it fixed the problem for a while but still cut in and out at times. Had the same problem with the m50, and with the s52 as well. Within the last month the tach has been completely dead. I replaced the SI board yet again and still no dice. I checked for power to the tachometer and voltage is present at the connector, so I tried swapping for a different tachometer and coding plug, but still no luck. Now the fuel gauge is acting up and always reading full, which was never an issue before. Now I'm wondering if the cluster itself is failing. Otherwise the speedo/odometer, mpg, coolant temp all work. All the fuses check out as well. Wondering if anyone has any other suggestions :???:

Yes, I've seen videos/heard stories of the circuit board going bad, specifically the soldered joints where components plug in. The DIY method just has you soldering all the possible joints, adding new filler to guarantee continuity. I've tried this with several joints, but it hasn't solved my coolant and gas gauge faults. A new Si board did solve my MPG fault though... just not those other gauges.. :(
But anyway yes some people have had success re-soldering the board.
When fully in doubt, send it to a pro, like BavRest up north. It may be worth the cost and prevent future frustration by tinkering further. I'm getting close to that point, to sending it out, and borrow a friend's car.
You could simply send him an email discussing the problem, he may have more valuable insight.
