The 98 digi gauges in a 96 Max
You need to cut and splice all the wires to get it to work. Also its a good idea to recalibrate the gauges to the exact mileage in case you ever sell the car.

ALSO, If I purchase the digital guage cluster, could I take out the individual guages MINUS the ODOMITOR GUAGE and put them in my existing cluster? Basically buy the guage cluster for parts to replace my fuel, RPM, and temperature guage???

The 194 bulb conversion is in the 4th gen how-to's, the link to get the gauge cluster out is http://www.geocities.com/amixam69/ni...ash/index.html
The link to put the new LED bulbs in is http://www.richardjasaitis.com/MaximaDash.htm
These are VERY helpful...
Also, about your mileage transfer from one odometer to another, I replaced my gauge cluster with the SE gauge cluster about a month ago, and I love it, but my local Nissan dealership said they couldn't legally roll the odometer back, so now I have about 50,000 more miles on my odometer. What I did was, as I was replacing the cluster, I took a digital picture of both of the clusters together with the mileage on both and kept my old cluster, just in case I sell my max in the future... This way I can show the buyer that there are 50,000 miles less than what the current SE odometer says

Scroll to the bottom for the write-up I used for the conversion. Just be careful when you solder the bulbs. I had to sand down the legs of the bulbs to get to some solderable material. Also use soldering flux to make it easier when you do solder the bulbs to the flex circuit. Another thing try not to melt the flex pads and plastic case, you gotta solder them quickly.
