I know it looks baller-status w/ the S15 cluster and I really thought of doing this, but my S13.5 Frankenstein will plug right it and I only had to spend 1,000 yen (12 bucks) for the acrylic glass...and I'm happy the way it turned out...plus...even being in Japan its not easy to come by pigtails!! You can usually get them with a cluster online but they are about 100 bucks! I got a full dash and instrument cluster for about 50! Besides, who doesn't like custom making things like this?

nice work though
Thanks for the kudos! Do you already have parts for it? When you finish it up, let me know about any trouble or hints you might have...I'm still considering doing this in the future. I have a redtop SR w/ no ABS...so I'm not sure about how to do all the wiring...all I know is that you need an S14 or S15 temp sensor to get the temp gauge working...don't know if fuel sender needs finiggling with?

and @ fliprayzin240sx, I'm glad you posted that picture, cause I wasn't sure if my roll bars were going to clear the dash...but they should!!! Is that your dash??? It's really nice...I ALMOST did the same thing w/ the exact same tacho! Do you have any experience w/ the S15 dash into an S13? How does the heater stuff need to be modified to work??? any clues???
