Default Altima gauge/screen in the left pod?

Have an Altima for a rental and the center screen/gauge deal above the odo, is EXACTLY what I would want in the left multi-display on the Z. Anyone see if it's possible to get that in there? Might be a bit too big.

Looks like it has all the modes and displays we already have and a bit more (including a radio display as well as all 4 tire pressures. The use of space (and color) is MUCH better particularly with exterior temp and range on every screen.

Please do it, and be so kind as to do a write-up? I dont see why they havent changed the newer Z multidisplay to a color monitor as it is, especially considering it it one of Nissans highest tier cars.

I could see you having some issues with fitment, so you might have to custom fab a mount for it behind the gauge shell, and maybe trim the shell back to allow for the wider screen.

The biggest issue I think you'll have isnt with fitment, but with connection. I'm not entirely sure how the multidisplays in the Z/Altima are pulling the info (what kind of ecu connections), and more importantly what drives the display that gives it functionality.

+1 and subbed for great idea, and hopefully guide someday. Good luck!
