I didnt use an install kit for the deck, I just used the original brackets making a custom cosmetic cover.
Theres nothing wrong with the 98 cluster, its just a pita to wire up. Its actually still not working yet but Im so close I can taste it.
Yes they are which is why I replaced the seals too.

I was wondering how the 4.27 ratio will affect your tach & speedo along with the a650e. Didn't 98-00 SC400's come with the a650e but a 3.26 in the rear? Even with a 98 cluster won't your rpms be off?

Update:
So I guess this is gonna be a 5 week build but oh well.
Started on the stereo stuff last night. Interior is coming along pretty well but that cluster really set me back. Anyway, enjoy.

I took her for a spin the other day for the first time with everything running properly and I can honestly say Ive never driven an sc that feels so alive. Now on top of the the 4:27 diff, Im running brand new Hankook Ventus V12 tires on 18" 350z wheels instead of oem sc wheels w/ snow tires, 100 octane racing fuel instead of 91 (premium in Denver), and I also flushed and refilled all the fluids. The car goes like stink but its gonna take driving it for a while to really in normal conditions to before Ill really be able to tell how much of a difference it makes.
I still havent been able to track down an a650 for a reasonable yet but how Im planning on running it is with the suprastick v4 but if I have to, Ill just piggyback a 98 sc400 ecu to my ecu to run the trans controller.
