Oh boy :naughty: I love this thing already ;) and it's FWD, but with an SR20 transmission? Which transmission is it? Hydraulic or cable (I can't tell via the pics)? For what it's worth, I think this is truly innovative and I definitely can't wait to see how this thing runs in your Micra :dblthumb: .

Is that a custom gauge cluster? Who did that for you? I've been trying to find someplace to make a custom speedo and tach for my S14, but haven't come up with anything.

Looks like a modified skyline's gauge cluster (NISMO version). With these FWD cars, you have to be very creative to make this CA18 thing make sense.

The tach says "GT-R" on it, but that speedo looks like a 200SX unit. The one I got from europe had 240KPH on it, though.

all the Euro S13 gauge clusters go to 240km/h, except UK which goes to 150mph... S14 ones go to 260km/h or 160mph (UK).... UK spec ones are dual scale (MPH in larger size like ours, and km/h small) but km/h ones don't have mph
perhaps he's using a stock speedometer?
