I have a RHD JDM na model with a metric speedometer. I want to swap it out for a US cluster with both mph and kph. are there any complications with this swap or is it plug and play? Can i get a 200mph Speedo for and NA?

Get the white gauge face overlays for about 24.00. Haven't seen a 200 mph na speedometer
The overlay has mph and kmh.

Yes, except the boost gauge will not work. Will it work in a JDM RHD car, that I am not sure.

i shouldnt need to change the speed sensor right? Sorry if im asking what may seem like stupid questions but im used to diesels, carbs, cable driven speedos, jeeps, trucks, and american muscle. This is the first "tuner" ive ever had.

No, the gearing only offered is NA auto manual or TT auto or manual. You should be fine there.

is there a way to change the mileage on a new cluster to match the mileage on the car or should i just get a cluster with close to the same amount of miles?

will the boost gauge still read vacuum pressure on the system?
