gauge cluster

I was wondering if anyone has done a VG30DETT swap on a Z31 and was able to use the Stock Cluster and modify it somehow?

If it cannot be modified then screw it. i found some nice gauges that go up to 200mph and a tach rated at 10k rpm.. il just make my own, but if someone knows a better solution, or HAS done this before let me know, i would really appreciate

You don't "modify" the cluster... you "modify" the wiring harness.

I have Pics uploaded to my profile, i finished the swap, but i had to take the VG30DETT motor Back out because we realised one of the mounts was Fed up, we also need to cut them and make them shorter so we can close the hood, right now its sitting on a stand and the rear differential oil Is being changed to Royal purple Gear oil. Once i get the new mount.. and cut both of them...it should be ready to go back in. Today i bought some Polyurethane Vacuum hoses to replace stock ones. I still need alot of work. but it should be ready by May *HOPEFULLY!!*
