Once again, a corporate giant goes after the little guy. Nissan's trying to put Simota out of business by changing the gauge...what a pity.

How's he going to feed himself? Pay the mortgage? Buy all those Amuse & carbon fiber parts? Do we need to set up a Simota relief fund?

We all feel bad for Simota b/c he lives so far away so we just give him free parts.

LOL!!! Yeah,
I've had mine changed, it was $850 for the cluster, special order so it took a week, and it had to have my car's mileage on it...
THANK GOD for the warranty
