Cant seem to find any writeups on this swap. Found this on yotube. Apparently he swapped the dash while it was still a 4cyl.

it can be done. ive swaped a 240sx cluster into mine. you just have to re- wire as far as that one goes. ive you want a z31 cluster on your 4- cyl that going to be tricky because the tach is set for a 6 cyl. the gear ratio for a v6 is diffrent from a 4cyl so the speedo will be off. youd have to get the oil press sending unit so the oil press gauge would work in the cluster just small things like that.
