I had a crack on mines and replaced it. I bought it for under $20 at the local nissan dealer.

About 10 minutes. Go to http://www.maximadriver.com in the How2 section or http://www.geocities.com/amixam69/nissan/dash/ to learn how to take out the gauge cluster.

it's not hard

you first need to take off the plastic protection from the kick plate 9near your knees). then take off kick plate, then take off 2 plastic pieces around the steering (ignition area), then unscrew screws and pull off plastic piece surrounding the plastic gauge cluster, then you're at the cluster. do reverse to put back together. sorry about these vague descriptions but i don't have my haynes or service manual near me.
