Yes, it's possible. Someone on here has done it. I can't remember off hand who, though. It just takes some time of re-wiring and alot of splicing of the wires in order for it to work.

I think that would look perfect in my Sherwood green max. I bet you have to get it from the dealer so that they can program the mileage FTL. Or else I would have snatched one up from the junkyard.

I agree, but most maxima owners like how bright the I35 cluster is.

I'm quite happy with my SE instrument cluster.
Bright cluster blinds the driver and makes it hard to see at night.

Just my 2 cents...

I love how everytime this thread comes up it morphs from "how do I do it?" into "I like/dislike the I35/Maxima cluster."

^^ I agree. My buddy has a I30 is far much more modern looking would be more interested in seeing this. I35 for some reason looks really old. I love my 00 SE Dash and gauges though it is kinda dull..Gotta love being in Canada with more numbers on the speedometer
