It will either work or not, you will need to plug it in and see.

You may lose some functions, like the leaf display. There are many versions to suit the same car, let alone different models, but they are essentially the same.

never saw the logic in that

if im going 180+ you shouldnt be looking at the speedo, and the 180km dash is way easier to read day to day.

I actually did the opposite in the s14 putting the jdm cluster in for the 180km instead of only ever using 1/3 of the gauge

Canadian drops the SAE dials and are straight metric. Buy a nismo item , cheaper and you are not playing guess on which unit you have as there are SEVERAL variants.

No need to be so condescending guys. But yes, I'd be looking to JDM, be it Nismo, Impul or any other made for the JDM arena.

Personally, while it's cool to have and occasionally glance at when travelling at those speeds, I'd rather be focusing on how the car feels being driven to the edge without tipping over. It's a lot of effort just to admire the speed reading, in my opinion.

It's a bit pointless, especially when it reads 40kph out like my Nismo when it's pinned, but it's the only speedo I have to judge anything by for braking at the track. The Informeter doesn't see past 179kph due to the speed cut defender tricking the ecu. Shame as it stays very accurate.

Here in the northern ireland the stupid annual mot rules state that the speedometer must show both kmh and mph. NI road speeds are in mph and Ireland is in kmh.

I've had to fit G35 clusters to 2 v35s. Both worked fine, the only differences are that you lose the sidelight warning lamp and the cluster backlight doesn't dim with the clock display. G35s have a manual dimmer for dash lighting.

I'm sure there's a work round on the backlight somewhere but it hasn't annoyed me in 6 years

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
