Can anyone shed any light on how this is done correctly to where all the digital odometers and trips work in-sync with the original 1995 cluster's?! I've searched and it leads me to only like words and not the actual answers I'm seeking. Thanks a bunch!

You are wrong on everything you said.

Do a search, I remember someone did it before. It's been a while though.

with fanaticrockford.

BTW, OBD-II was a mandated requirement in all vehicles 96 and after, not 97.

Learn, then speak. So much misinformation in this forum, it's incredible half of the 4th gens around here are still even running after listening to the stuff posted here.

AFAIK, only the '95 Maxima was OBD-II. I know the '95 hardbody wasn't, had the same ECU (looked like) as my '87 Max, both had the VG. I had to pull codes on a '95 hardbody once...fun. '95 Altima wasn't OBD-II either, I don't believe.

Any Nissan pre-95 (most pre-96) weren't OBD-II.

Digital Odometer HAS been transfered to an A32 that came with a analog odo, but it took major rewiring. It also requires special equipment, unless you plan on getting an odometer disclosure statement. The process was done only once that I know of, and the guy said that he thought that it was not worth the effort.

Haha, my bad, I had the jittery fingers as I typed.

What bulbs were you using? I have the luminic JDM yellow and they are great so far. I am considering a Techone H3 HID kit 3000k with water proof ballast and bulbs for the future. Any thoughts? Automax 95 is selling them in the group deal forum and even has a video of him putting the bulb in the fishtank. Check it out.

My fogs are fine. I just have a burnt out passenger's side bulb and I run the yellow bulbs (not available locally) and haven't gotten around to re-ordering them.

If you are trying to figure how to make your car perform better, use the search function.

If you want members of this board to help you, stop being a d!ck.

No I will not mind my own business. This forum is open for all, so this is my business.

If you see it as me whining and crying about, oh well, I'm crying about it, what are you going to do?

If you really want to increase your performance, try one of the many mods that I have on my car.

If you want a Simple and effective, get NOS and blown your engine for all I care.
