Anyone had any experience doing this? Is there a better way than hooking up a square wave generator to the speedo and adjusting?

Use your stock cluster and modify the R33 signal

why not just scrape off the kph numbers/letter or paint over them and put new vinyl stickers in their place.

But the r33 cluster is such an awesome cluster... This is extremely simple to do on a s13 cluster, i just dont know the resistance values id need, so i was wondering if anyone else had any idea.

theres a chip you can buy i believe that all UK skyline owners use and also i believe there is a write up on how to convert the km/h to mph on the r33 speedo, just google it and you can find it, cause i was considering the r33 cluster but when i found out that the s14 cluster speedo works perfectly if you have stock 4.08 diff gears and the tach is adjustable. but good luck.

no problem i was thinking of doing the r33 cluster but i didnt have the money for a new one and the used ones are hard to find,once i found out that the s14 speedo is accurate with the rb25 speed sensor i decided to keep my stock cluster. but good luck
