How did you end up with a gauge cluster that reads up to 160mph??????, where is this cluster originated from(or what market is it meant for)
Most likely UK spec. Cuz the UK has been known to have KPH and MPH gauges in their cars.

You sir are correct, and I also posted where they came from along with motoman399.

For anyone who might be intrested in getting a set of these for themself just look on ebay for the uk and search 200sx breaking. Also these are 100% plug and play for their respictive s14 models.(zenki to zenki/ kouki to kouki) The only thing that requires a little more than pluging in is the temp display in the cluster you need the correct sensor and it requires a little wiring, I haven't done it yet but I have been looking into it.

how do you know all this. i mean i know it too but i had to do a lot of research to find out those things. lol do you have the gauges? i have the kouki ones. oh and im pretty sure they are only black faced where as the usdm and jdm are optional white faced.. i want that temp sensor even though it reads in C*. i have spent a lot of time on the UK ebay and bought several parts from there. pretty cool a lot of stuff for the s14's that we dont have

I didn't even know about these gauges until you made a thread a few months back, but you were holdin back on telling where you got them from.

So I just got busy and and put my many free hours (all day everyday for the last 8 months) of spair time to searching the obscure dark corners of the internet for one, once I got one it was just a matter of looking in the fsm to figure out if any thing needed to be re-wired, I didn't think it would as the japanese clusters don't require anything to be changed.

The funny thing is I've had the cluster since about a 2 weeks after you made that thread and just put it in yesterday. (Hi I'm kouki munster and procrastinators anonymous meets next week)

I want to get the temp readout working to but I'm in no hurry. I really want to get a set of the european head lights with all the level adjustment stuff, looks like it would be fun to play with.

I also have the digital climate control installed and 100% operational,(or it was until I put in my sr, just need to get the ac lines made) pretty simple to put in if you get the full dash harness so you can dig out all the wiring for the dcc.(I'd post a pick but my interior is to dirty for that right now)

is there any chance that its just a stock s15 cluster that was stuck in there?

Nope, look at the pic of the gauges I posted, with the exception of the chrome rings and the units of measure for speed, they are identicle. Also, S14 and s15 clusters look nothing alike.
