I am sure it can be done. You just have to do some research on the schematics. I plan on doing it. Just not ready yet.

maybe you can keep the analog cluster, and i'll trade you my 100% clean black dash (non hud) for the working digi coupe gauges. ...

to maybe helpl you though... the analog and coupe gauge harnesses are slightly different. the hud usually plugs into the digi spedo and reads off that so you'd have to find a way to connect it to the spedo on the analog one and (i think) just frankenstein parts/wiring/plugs from both clusters

hey, i was thinking of splicing the wires also..but i'm not sure if i should yet. because some people say it works and some people say it doesn't.. and everyone that says they have, or it does work, don't tell how to make it work..

i''m hoping someone post a DIY on this or tells how to do it

It CAN be done.... S14's in Japan came with an optional hud and all S14's are analog. You'll figure it out.
