Woah, he's so much more anal retentive than me. Very nice refurb indeed. I can learn a lot from that for the next project

Ok? The pic is of a EDM cluster. The JDM cluster is pretty much like the USDM one just mph/kph are reversed.

Redline the fuel gauge for extra power.

The EDM cluster really does look cool though.

That's what someone said, but corey240 said they were from a S14.

Edit: You're probably right. I looked at the speedo, and it's different than the EDM one posted.

the s15 has three big gauges or "pods" IIRC

I wonder if the EDM cluster will be a plug n play deal with our 240's..

Thats a UK cluster, I have a german cluster that goes to 260 km/h but doesn't have mph printed on it, like the other one linked. Also in the clock display, you can switch between the time and outside ambient temp (which I don't have wired up as the PO mangled my ac ambient temp sensor). Also has a different icon for the parking brake, that looks like ( ! ) .
