Digital Cluster

my friend put a digital cluster in his s13. n i was wondering if i can do the same wit my 89rx7 vert.

here is a link to how it looks like in the s13:

Nissan NX1600 digital cluster into S13. : 240sx General Discussion

the only problem is the this cluster only rpms to 8. mine goes to 9. i've seen s2000 digital cluster n they go up to 9 n they very nice. i just wanted to kno if anyone has done anythin like this to their fc.

NO.
Long version,If you enjoy a wiring nightmare,anything is possible.
It would look nice but I am gonna stick with my gut and say NO.

Look up a Guy named Clokker.
He does tinkering like this.
......
You are gonna have to find sensors for each function of the gauge,tehn figure out how to hook up the speedometer as your new gauge is electric and the old gauge is cable driven.
By the time you get this gauge to even function you are gonna spend more than actual Aftermarket stuff.
Cost wise,not worth it...Electrically,a Pain in the Butt.
Then Fabbing the thing into the dash..Totally a Cluster F***.

There is also the Racepak.

Long story short you have a FC. Any digital cluster you put into it will be worth more than your car. =)
