Talking Digital Dash conversion

I came across a digital dash, I currently have a analog dash (85 mph). The digital dash is super cool. Its just the cluster for sale; is it just plug in and play or do i need extra sensors etc. to make it work.

Also if someone wants to buy my digital cluster after I install the digital one, its in MINT condition...

thanks in advance

You mean the Analog Cluster that you need to sell right??
If you want to instal a Digital cluster then you need the under dash harness to go with!
I have a set on ebay right now,look it up!

Digi Dash

You might want to hang onto your analog cluster, just in case the digital one doesn't live up to your expectations, or even work perfectly. Quoting Fricfrac "I've said it a hundred times but I always wanted a 280ZX turbo, 5sp and a digital dash. Hated it after about five minutes when I got my first S130 with a digital dash. " Looks cool when you 1st see it, but they can be hard to read in the sun, not very responsive or accurate. Just wanted to give you a heads up, I don't have any experience with one, but I know they only go up to 85 also. Not sure why but my 84 z31 NA GL has a 140 Mph speedo.
