Help> G35 Cluster To V35 Skyline?

[jae080857]

Help please, Hi iv got a 2006 V35 Skyline and I want to change my cluster to a G35 one... Will it work or do I have to change the wires or somthing?

[Wingnut0021]

Why? What does the G35 version have that the V35 doesn't? Primitive imperial measurements?

[scotty nm35]

It will either work or not, you will need to plug it in and see.

You may lose some functions, like the leaf display. There are many versions to suit the same car, let alone different models, but they are essentially the same.

[jae080857]

Ok no worries, I'll give it a try. Thanks

[Chris Rogers]

Why though? Too many variants.

[jae080857]

Well since the G35 Cluster goes up to 280km and when I find out how to take the speed limiter off, I'll be Happy LOL

[scotty nm35]

So does the Nismo dash I have here.

The HKS Speed Limit Defender I have works well...

[(Locky)]

never saw the logic in that

if im going 180+ you shouldnt be looking at the speedo, and the 180km dash is way easier to read day to day.

I actually did the opposite in the s14 putting the jdm cluster in for the 180km instead of only ever using 1/3 of the gauge

If you really must have a G35 cluster, look at the Canadian one as it is metric...

Is it? I thought most North American cars had both Imperial and Metric?

[sonicii]

The US models do have both, I had just assumed the Canadian models are the same too. I have never seen a stock cluster showing only KM to 260/280km/h

[Chris Rogers]

Canadian drops the SAE dials and are straight metric. Buy a nismo item , cheaper and you are not playing guess on which unit you have as there are SEVERAL variants.

[Howaitonaito]

Please enlighten us all as to were you are going to go 180kph+

Or is it just to boost your ego? Or are you compensating for something?

[Wingnut0021]

Maybe if he is going to be going that fast often something like this is what he wants lol.

No need to be so condescending guys. But yes, I'd be looking to JDM, be it Nismo, Impul or any other made for the JDM arena.

Personally, while it's cool to have and occasionally glance at when travelling at those speeds, I'd rather be focusing on how the car feels being driven to the edge without tipping over. It's a lot of effort just to admire the speed reading, in my opinion.

[scotty nm35]

It's a bit pointless, especially when it reads 40kph out like my Nismo when it's pinned, but it's the only speedo I have to judge anything by for braking at the track. The Informeter doesn't see past 179kph due to the speed cut defender tricking the ecu. Shame as it stays very accurate.

[The Max]

Why not use the Uprev Osiris to remove the speed limiter? Informeter should then theoretically work fine, no?

[scotty nm35]

Because Osirus only works on VQ35's.

Here in the northern ireland the stupid annual mot rules state that the speedometer must show both kmh and mph. NI road speeds are in mph and Ireland is in kmh.

I've had to fit G35 clusters to 2 v35s. Both worked fine, the only differences are that you lose the sidelight warning lamp and the cluster backlight doesn't dim with the clock display. G35s have a manual dimmer for dash lighting.

I'm sure there's a work round on the backlight somewhere but it hasn't annoyed me in 6 years
