A true G fan. Any non-G owner would not notice but we all are in shock.

Do you think its because you used an AT gauge in a MT that it doesnt display the right mileage? or it's simply a stored value?

I believe each individual gauge cluster stores the value. You'll see gauge sets all over Ebay that have various mileage amounts. Also if you upgrade to the Nismo gauge cluster you'll be reset to 0 miles.

I actually think it was a pretty crappy job. The pre-cut heat shrink makes it look all pretty. I needed to use more flux than I'm used to. My trusty Metcal might need a new tip.....

WOW!!! AMAZING WORK! I'm so glad to see it can be done....truly impressive.
Now everyone will be scrambling to buy gauges off eBay!

Do you know if the gauges are universal for the Sedan and Coupe? Meaning I can buy any gauge and not worry what body style it was from?

Thanks. I'm pretty sure that my gauge set came from a sedan as it says SNOW and AWD on it I think. Let me check on this before you quote me.

OH yeah - adding the lighted steering wheel buttons would be great. I was told it wasn't possible on this forum so I haven't tried it. I assume the power source for the buttons may be missing on our 03/04 wheels...but right now I'm a hopeful believer it can work

Someone already posted on the forums how to swap in the lighted buttons from an 05/06. Looks pretty easy to do.
