Altezza mods

[Outlander]

Hi all, as im trying to sell my curren off, im also thinking about what im going to get to replace it, and ive come across a few good altezzas im considering, but just have a few questions regarding to some things id like to do if one happens to come my way.

First of all, is it possible to swap out the earlier model instrument cluster(with the speedometer as middle gauge) for the later model, blue hued one(with the tacho as the middle gauge)? Surely all the connections would still be the same?

Secondly, how hard is it do replace the factory headunit? i noticed it has a rather strange shape and seems like a standard aftermarket headunit and replacement DIN tray would look out of place there.

And last of all, do Blitz still do the supercharger kit for the 3SGE? and if so where can i get one locally and for how much?

Any help and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

If you change the factory headunit you need to buy a fitting kit, there are tons of them on trademe and they only cost like 40bucks, Just changed the headunit in mine and it was pretty easy

Think they still make them as places still seem to list them for sale i doubt you could buy one locally unless 41.co.nz could get one, they cost around $8000NZ i believe

Maybe just buy this one since it already has a blitz supercharger kit on it

Just get rid of that awful 'custom grill'

yeah definitely buy one with a s/c already done
the blitz kit in nz will set you back like 10k

And plenty of good reading at the Altezza club forums.

Thanks for all the answers guys, so atm the supercharger idea is out of my price range, hopefully il find a good deal somewhere when i have the money.

As for the dash cluster,does anyone know if the stock one in earlier model altezza's(the ones with the speedometer in the middle and the grey-ish colour) can be swapped for the later model version's cluster with the tach in the middle and a blue-ish colour to it)?

If it is the one I think it is, I'll swap you my one for it.
