Talked to a few TT/race guys a track event using this system and they really liked it.

The Delta ABS system transmits data via can, so if you can find someone to program a can bridge of some kind to transmit wheel speed data back to the factory cluster then you can retain that functionality, but the CAN stream within the Delta ABS unit is fixed and is not configurable. The Delta ABS system is very much universal, and if you have two-wire hall effect wheel speed sensors from the factory then you can reuse those and simply install the included wiring harness and ABS module and sensors, there are no vehicle specific instructions, installation and setup is the same on virtually any vehicle.

I've spent the last 2 hours going over their documentation, installed/reviewed their DeltaABS configuration program and looked at their CAN bus definition file (aka DBC file)
I am no motorsports ABS expert, but this looks like a really nice package, with good documentation!
With that said, I should be able to receive the Delta ABS wheel speeds from its CAN bus, convert it, and send it to the 370's CAN bus to drive the speedometer. Probably can also pass through any ABS warning lights from the DeltaABS to the factory dash.
Actually, I just wrapped up a small module that allows the DE 350Z tach and coolant gauge to work with a VHR engine. I've spent the last 3 years researching Nissan's CAN bus and have a very good idea of the messages/data that is on it.
From another project, I have a handful of automotive grade, CAN bus gateways that could be used for this.
I'll reach our to DeltaABS to ask for a CAN bus log of their ABS modules when on the track. I can use that to develop the firmware and test it on my test bench. (my desktop G37/370!)
If it works there, it should work in your 370.
