whoa, you're thinking about this way too hard.

What swap are you doing first of all? What ECU?

If you use an OBD1 or OBD2a ECU then you shouldn't have to worry about anything. You'll just need a conversion harness from OBD2b to whatever ECU you run.

I'm running a '98 ITR ECU in my '01 GS-R w/ B18c5 so had to use an OBD2b to OBD2a conversion harness. Zero issues with gauge cluster not working.
