Guys I'd like to start off with an apology. I'm sure this post has been done 10million times but for some reason search doesn't work at the top for me, it says I didn't enter the three word minumum when I searched for "heads up display" even added a few more irrelevant words to try to at least get something.
Anyways heres the question. While at the junkyard today I grabbed a 90 240sx heads up display and figured it'd be cool to put that in my car. I need a good speedometer since mine stopped working anyways so its all cool. the only thing is the question. IS this a direct swap? or do i have to do custom wiring? or what? I can cut the hole in the dash and stuff to mount it but not sure what to do with the rest. is it just plug and play? also can I switch out the tachs to my dohc tach and still work right or would I be better off just getting a aftermarket tach like I planned to do and never look at the factory sohc tach in the dash. thanks

Yea and also it may not be your speedometer, could be the speed sensor. Good luck on the swap anyways

i 2nd that. the speedo usually only stops working if its HUD like mine did. i check the speed sensor first and it wasnt bad but i had to spend 130 on a new HUD unit. and yes the head up is a direct replacement my buddy did it. all he had to do was cut hole in the dash and find some way to reflect the numbers onto the windshield. but i think he got a new dash, one that was made for hud.
