sorry man, that wont work with a usdm car. You better it sell it to me, cheap, and at a huge loss!


























j/k

Ive posted the ins before, its really easy.
Step 1, disconnect battery
step 2: theres two screws holding the lower steering column cover on. Youll need a long phillips head to remove
step 3: remove key ring hole, may need to be done before 2
step 4: lower the lower steering column cover and unclip the wire thing attached to it
step 5: 4 10mm bolts hold the cluster on, remove those and your set

install in reverse.

it's in km/h; no redline on the tach (unless you can't see it); gas gauge is different. Its just for the sake of being different... not something I would pay retail for but if it was a good deal then its cool.

sorry bud don't have any idea of how to take the stock off

do not risk it, or cheapen your car with an inaccurate gauge cluster... sell it to someone who can actually use it

I thought the genuine Nismo cluster has a white background? IIRC the cluster for the G35 is this way.

That could be just a normal cluster for Canadian/European markets with a Nismo sticker on it.

Hmmm. I didn't know it changed the center console output. Guess I'll stop looking for one at a good price.

you can see from the cluster it also reads in MPH (the small #'s under the KPH (larger) #'s

I don't see how it would alter the center console output - the plug for the console is seperate from the speed cluster plug, they do not plug into one another (at least not on my Enthusiast car...not sure about higher trim models
