Cheers m8. Yeah, it's beautiful, sort of. I would recommend you to get one before they get too scarce...

Yer i agree, its a much nicer looking instrument cluster.
I wonder if the cluster would go onto the "other" side?? Id have one of it would.

The clusters themselves are almost completely symmetrical as you can see from my photos; if you're lucky, only the covers differ (LHD/RHD).

The RHD one has the speedo to the left and tacho to the right exactly like the LHD one, only difference is the gauge readout; the RHD has km/h as well as mph and the LHD has only km/h. So I believe Nissan have used the same gauge cluster bottom piece for both LHD and RHD, because if they would have wanted to make an RHD model that differs from the LHD one, they probably would have mirrored the entire bottom piece straight away. Can somebody from the UK confirm this, please?

I agree, that would be the easiest way!

Oh, and please note that the only difference between the European turbo cluster and the European N/A cluster is that the turbo one has a greater maximum readout on the speedo (200 km/h vs 180 km/h).
