Not sure if this has been covered, or i am just late the party; but the old school (black ones, simple led display) rev/speed meters are super cheap! i have found some for around $30-70 and its a easy and cheap way of getting the tach and speedo for a rb25 swap.
something to think about i guess, i kinda like this little thing.

well, a rb swap, i assume suspension, wheels, boost/temp gauges, exhaust etc etc...kind blew that stock look away in most cases. this thing is so small, black, simple, and cheap.
just a suggestion.
Well, I'm keeping a VERY stock appearance right now, stock wheels...just a 3 inch aluminized steel pipe sticking out under the bumper, the boost gauge is going to be out of plain sight as well as my water temp and oil pressure (they will be easily seen from IN the drivers seat though) I'm most likely making a custom gauge panel to fit in the stock location holding a tach, speedo, egt, and boost. Then the water temp and oil pressure hang off the bottom of the dash in a two gauge bracket just to the right of the steering wheel...OR they will go under the cd player and just have a cover I can put over them if I see flashing lights in the rearview or park it in a parking lot 
I dont want cops or thieves having a clue what is under the hood unless they check it out REALLY well (search my car).
