These questions are about my PL411 so I called it O/T but they may apply to 
Roadsters too...

The car has a bad shimmy/hopping sensation but only from about 55-65 
mph.  I have new tires and shocks.  It did it before the new shocks but I'm 
not positive it did it before the new tires though it may have.  I can have 
the tire balance checked, but I would think that would shake and vibrate at 
higher speeds too, not smooth out after 65mph.  Any ideas?

I'm thinking of replacing the gauge cluster.  It has the same voltage 
regulator as the Roadsters.  Can I buy an aftermarket speedo, temp, fuel, 
etc., and just hook the wires right up?  Do they require their own voltage 
regulator?

Finally bushings.  The suspension bushings are shot.  Is there somewhere I 
can buy generic replacement rubber or even urethane bushings based on the 
dimensions of my bolts/washers/etc., or do I need to try to get them 
through Nissan?

Thanks,
Adam
