Digital to Analog Dash Conversion
Ok heres the deal, I bought a HUD from Brian (1992maxman) but didn't have enough $$ at the time, so he sent me the HUD, trim piece, and some of the harness...I've been very strapped on cash and can't afford to purchase the MCU and other harness from him, so I've got the HUD installed in my dash but it's not doing anything..I'm trying to change this! 
There's a girl I know that goes to school with me that used to drive an 89-91 GXE (burgandy w/ burgandy leather interior), but now she drives a Camry, apparently her parents still have the Maxima, so I've asked her if I can take the MCU out of it. Her parents plan to sell the car (I'm looking into buying the whole thing, MCU + HUD parts, ACC, not a bad parts car if you ask me), so they said as long as it doesn't affect the car in anyway that it's fine, and knowing that if I just rip out the MCU none of the gauges will work, I have to do something else..
I still have my old GXE's analog gauges, as I put 89-91 SE gauges in mine before I sold it, and am looking for information on converting a digital dash to an analog dash, so as to keep the car in good condition so this girl's parents can still sell it...Craig? Anyone that's put digital gauges in their car? Anyone that had digital gauges that put analog ones in? Help meh!
I'm gonna look through my FSM now, and compare the wiring, will I have to get the plugs out of a junkyard for the analog guages?

For everyone else looking at this, I wasn't sure why he posted this...
We have seemingly agreed upon something, so don't worry about it.
