    As long as its from a VR/S it will be fine. Check ebay and make sure you get a V8 one or v6 if thats what you got or the tacho will read out or wont work. You can convert them How to convert a V6 tacho to suit a V8

    If your just after a tacho in the dash. Grab the level 2 cluster. They got the quater circle like tacho and the temp and fuel gauges are ontop of each other on one side. Dont get the Level 3 cluster as you will need to make wiring mods to get the trip computers to work, the level 3 cluster has the full half circle tacho and the 3 little display LCD's in the bottom of it.

    level 2 cluster

    level 3 cluster

    Grab the level 2 and plug it in and its all good. Level 3 you will have to make the wiring mods.
