Default Looking to upgrade my Gauge Cluster...

Hey everyone i have an 03 z and im wondering if its possible to upgrade to an 06+ gauge cluster. I hate the way the 03 one looks and i love the 06 one. Is it possible and easy to do a simple plug and play install?

The odometer itself is what keeps track of your mileage, so if you swap gauge cluster, you have to make sure the mileage is similar between the one being swapped out and one being swapped in. You also have to keep in mind that the RPM gauge is different between the 03-05, 06, and 07+ so the needle may need recalibration.

As far as physically connecting/installing them without issues, I have no clue.

Yeah that stuff i already read on about the needle being in different spots then it already is. But i couldnt find any information as far as plug and play goes. Mileage doesnt matter, ill document that incase i ever sell the car for the next buyer.

Any idea how easy it is to recalibrate the RPM?

Maybe between the DEs there are no differences in the RPM gauge, but the HR revs to 7500 so the gauge is different there.
