Welcom to NICO and all that like everyone else is going to tell you. On your speedometer problem, if you are know what you're doing, or just feel confident enough that you do, you can take apart the dash and check your speedometer cable. Otherwise, or if that doesn't solve the problem, bring it into the shop.

Sorry to hear about your cluster problem, next time buy the speedometer module from Nissan brand new....it will be cheaper an is brand new.....is too late now, but a careful search will save you money, plenty of good info in these forums...
