Updating with some comments:

* Cal Sportbikes, the US distributor of SpeedoHealer, has deferred me to their international distributor because the Nissan product has to be special order. So as of right now you cannot get it from Cal Sportbikes as I said above. Do a Google search for SpeedoHealer and you'll find their international site.

* You may not have to disclose mileage above 100K depending upon your state, but your title will be marked with actual mileage unknown or exceeds mechanical limit. This will show up on your CarFax when you try to sell the vehicle and it will hurt resale. It's best to keep mileage as accurate as possible.

I highly recommend that you document the mileage of the old odometer at the time of removal and the mileage of the new odometer at the time of installation. Attach this information to the driver's door jamb. When a mileage needs to be taken, you can take the old mileage and add in the difference in the new odometer's mileage. This will give you the true mileage of the car.

When you sell the car, you know the actual mileage so the title will not have an odometer discrepancy flag. Should help you get more money for the car.

* You can use the resistor, but it's harder to make on-the-fly adjustments. The SpeedoHealer is ideal for making these adjustments, as well as providing some data-logging functionality as well.
