    needs to be from a VR V6 for a straight swap over.

    but you will still need the forth plug, and splice it into the existing wiring.

    no digital dash for the VR/VS - I assume by digital you are referring to something like what the VK Calais had?

    Level 3 dash is available which gives you a trip computer, fuel used, average k's per 100k's etc etc (you will need the trip computer seperately to the cluster). Do a search - there's heaps on it

    Cheers T_C

    there is a level 3 cluster for the VS(unsure if VR had one) that had LCD displays on it. Requires a patch lead to be made up for the LCDs to work. talk to '88GreenVN' he helped me with this topic a few days ago

    Search "tripin" it will show what needs to be done to splice in a "4th" plug to the L3 cluster.

    The L3 gauges will work without a problem (same wires) but the "digital" part needs the 4th plug and a switch control to be wired in (patchloom)
