if so does anyone have a link or can give me info on what I would need to do so. I like the layout of the digital. I know I would need the cluster the hud, and the dash panel, but are the spots they plug into allready in the car or would you need to wire it up? Also are their any sensors that are specially on the digital cars I know the digital z31s have special parts vs analog thata why I want to make sure.

Lastly to find a donor car what all years s13 was the digital package available on?

the hud was available on all year coupes but you would need to swap the tach if its from a different engine. if you want the heads up display you will need the windsheild from the hud car. and when you get the cluster you need to make sure you get the sub-harness that goes with it. its what the 3-4 wire groups merge into...about 12-18" away from the cluster. that should be all you need. try looking on the other thread in this section.

you don't have to get the windshield, the HUD will show up without it (just hard to see in bright daylight) or, if you want, you can put a square of tint film where it would be on the window to make it show up (would save you some coin)

If yall do a search for threads about the HUD, theres a nice long write up from me about them. I have swapped the HUD into my Fastback before with no problems at all.
