Default Could you help me?

I can't write english well. sorry~

Here is Korea(south).

350Z is not sold in Korea, because official nissan dealer is not in here, yet.

I bought a 350Z(U.S ver.) shippped from U.S, last month.
But, all Korean use Km/h, liter & kg..

So, I need OEM 'triple meters(in center panel)' and 'cluster gauge(in front of steering)' for Canada.

My Z is 2008 coupe touring M/T with TPMS & VDC.

How can I find & buy these parts?

I would probably try to find a dealer in Japan or Canada that can provide all the parts for you. I do not know who the good dealers are in Canada though. Someone should be able to help.

I bought my car in the US and never had the need to convert the triple-gauge panel. In Canada the only requirement is that the speedo display Km/hr -- which it does because it has a dual scale.

I looked into converting panel at one time but it was a very expensive option. For me, it was not an issue since I grew up learning both metric and imperial systems and can convert easily.

I only know of one person that had the complete gauges converted but he obtained the parts from a wrecked Z. I was also told that the ECU may need reprogramming -- but I'm not sure if this is necessary.

it will be necessary if you want the display on your trip computer to show in KM as well ... as well as the temp changed from F to D

Thanks for your reply and I understand what you wrote.

I can use Speedometer, but I'm always converting the data(mile, gallon F => only using in U.S) from triple gauge in my head.

I can ignore the data from triple gauge. If I do, triple gauge is useless. ㅡㅡ;

thats true... its definitely a convenience issue though because when you get accustomed to both systems its not too bad using it as is.
