I'm going to try and ressurect this thread.

My Z is an 09 Touring. It does not have the sports package and it's a manual transmission. Does anyone have any idea if I can swap the gauge cluster for a 2015 Nismo cluster? I know the mileage will need to be reprogrammed, but that's not an issue. I just need to know if it will physically work.

Anyone have any idea on this or theories?

As always, any and all help will be most appreciated.

Do you know if we can remove the gauge cluster and start the car and drive it ?
I would like to remove it to add an AIM dash logger but I know on some cars you have to keep the gauge cluster.

Unfortunately I can't answer that, but I'm curious to know as well.

So then the cluster is responsible for passing on the signals for the paddle shifters to the transmission control. I doubt this is on CAN, so check the wiring harnesses going into and out of the cluster, and look for any missing wires on the 6MT cluster's harness that are present on a 7AT. I forget which chapter/pdf file of the FSM includes all of the connector pinouts, but It's in there. Check LAN and MWI first.

When you said "I pulled the cluster apart and installed the face into mine" Do you mean you swapped the gauge face only and installed it on your original touring cluster? I want to change the gauge face as well but not sure if can be done.

I did exactly that a few months ago. I swapped the tachometer face, the info screen on the left side and the trim bezel. My 2009 touring gauge pod now resembles a 2015+ NISMO pod. The only difference is that the small gear indicator screen, located below the tachometer on mine doesn't work. It was pretty easy to do. You just have to be careful with disconnecting everything. You don't want to break any of the connectors.
