Possible corrosion/oxidation or poor connection in the body to dash harness connectors or a poor ground connection (somewhere). Do you have a schematic for your car? Intermittent electrical faults are always fun to ring out.
Odd gauge thing happening
on my 80' ZX the Tach and the Temp. gauge go out randomly. Sometimes everything works fine, but sometimes they go dead... It's probably a little; easily corrected thing, but I can't think of it. Any ideas on what could cause this?

I do not.... Sounds like I should get behind the gauges and look for age problems.Do you have a schematic for your car?
Service manuals available for download at Nicoclub.com.
Do they go out at the same time all of the time or are they each random in of themselves?
On the back of the instrument cluster (speedo/tach/temp) there is a round connector, it seems to be the common connection but the fuel level would also be affected. Pull the speedo/tach cluster out and remove the round connector and reconnect it.
