Yeah, *IF* you could fird a gear the right size....but why bother.
It will be cheaper and look nicer if you just get a new gauge face made like mad said. That way you don't have to explain to the person you sell the car to that "oh yeah, even though the gauge says KPH, it really is MPH."

I think you ahve to contact them since they don't list every product they have on their website. They probably come out to about $150, though too.
A few months ago, I could have sworn I saw a gauge face for an R33 Skyline that had KPH and MPH on the same speedo, and the KPH was even in smaller amber font like in most cars.

ive posted about this before, its in the rb forums. you can get a converter that will let you adjust for kph-mph conversion, gear ratios, tire sizes, ect ect...
the down side to just doing a face, is that your speedo will only read to 112 mph, but with the converter box, it will read till 180 mph, and move the speed limiter to 180 mph
also, your gears and tires are different from a skyline, so the speedo will be inaccurate anyway with out the frequency divider/multiplier [converter box]
