Default Installing a Nismo guage cluster in a 06 GT.

Hi my 350z friends. I just purchased a Nismo Edt guage cluster to install into my 06 GT. I have been in love with the white face tach ever since the Nismo's came out. I already have a buddy at a Nissan Dealer who told me that he can get my odometer reprogrammed to match mine. Isnt expensive either. But my question is does anyone know if the cluster will have any issues with my car? I mean my car being a GT I can only think of one thing VDC that my car hasa that the Nismo didnt. Doesnt the ECU send that info to the dash? So being that I shouldnt have any lights on or anything due to the swap should I? Im sure others have made this swap so someone should be able to help me from experience. Please no smart azz comments please. I treat everyone with respect and expect the same. Thanks, Robert

07-08 USDM Nismos have TCS, not VDC.

I would think that if everything else works, then the TCS off light would go on when you turn the VDC off.

Thanks for the helpful info guys. I started wondering after I bought it if there would be any lights on the dash since the gauges seem to be model specific. I guess I will be ok. I dont turn off VDC very often anyways. With a Cusco LSD I just dont mess with it. Thanks again, Robert

Came from a salvage yard in Wisconsin. I noticed they had some Nismo parts online and asked if they had the gauge cluster. Its from a 07 silver Nismo. So if you have one yours just became more valuable! I bought it for $125 shipped to my door!!! I also asked if they had the Yamaha dampers. But have yet to hear back. I dont think I can even use them with my front mount in the way but if I can buy them and sell them on here I will do so. Im sure a lot of other members would buy them.
