A VP cluster will work in a VN if you move 3 wires on connector 1.

.... Umm ok...

Well if you dont move the wires the left indicator will not work (on the dash cluster) the engine warning light will not work and the other I forget off hand.

If the cluster part number starts with a "K" it's a VP cluster. If it starts with an "I" it will be a VN cluster

I don't think it's illegal to wind a cluster back or forward as long as it is not to reduce the klm's of the car.

Sweet cuz I don't want to put one in with like 300000 km on it that would be gay

i think technically if your not an accredited business that does it professionally its illegal for you even to open your cluster... and rolling back your odometer is illegal even if its just to represent actual k's on your car.... whats the problem with your original one? cause it might be an easy fix with out messing with with odometer of another one... soldering the voltage regulator board and putting a new odometer cog pretty much fixes most problems on these...

FFS, just answer him. Get a needle stick it on the little legs on each number wheel from the front and carefully turn them. They'll click down fairly easily.
