I am currently restoring my 83' 280zx and was wondering what all is needed to do a Speedo switch from a 79" 280zx. The 83' has the digital dash and the 79' of course has the 130 mph speedo. I want to change the whole cluster. I just need to know what All i need to take off the 79' Both cars are mine so there is no cost for parts. I just like the 130mph speedo better.
Also where can i get white guage overlays?

BTW cant the speedo cluster out of the 83' work in the 79'? both cars run but the 83 is almost fully restored and my daily driver so I would like to do the swap.

Also can I swap the heating unit out of the 79' to the 83' which has the auto temp
and it doesnt work all of the time.
Thanks for the input

In the thermostat housing and in the gas tank.

What does the heater have to do with the price of tea in China?

In my first post I asked if any one had done the heater swap from the 83' autotemp
to a 79' manual heater. the autotemp is to hard to keep at a steady temperature and it doesn't always work.
