cluster ideas.

alright well since i cant leave my car alone ive been lookin at different car clusters that i can try to make work in my car. i found this bad *** one from a nissan nx that i am in love with and i think it also has a HUD setup that goes along with it. i dont care for the typical autometer gauge setups or the dakota digital setup either.

my gauges at the moment looks like this (custom $200 overlays i had made out of factory quality material):

Nissan and V8 dont go together unless you're talking about their trucks

you "could" use the dakota digital box to translate it..

the NX was a 4cylinder car.. the NSX was the V6 that looked like a poor mans Ferrari.

Re: cluster ideas.

My cars a 91 so it has a electronic speedo.

I have to read up some more on what signals it gives but it shouldn't be hard. Think the hardest part is fitting it the original spot
