Other than the idiot light for the ABS, and maybe one extra light down low right (besides in km/h) looks pretty much like my 1991 SE-R USDM cluster - I noticed they changed a lot in 1993 or later. Drop the C/H from the temp gauge and it's pretty close - the '91 has the 150 mph speedo and the same tach, same L/R gauges in the SE-R.
The instrument/dashboard cluster - speedometer, tachometer, gauges. Later cars in the U.S. did not have an "instrument cluster" like that - besides being in mph, the layout or placement and gauges changed.
Mods - Well, hard to beat the classic Intake/Header/Exhaust combination for starters. Before I'd do much more than that, I'd focus on suspension. At 80,000 km the suspension is likely OEM, original.
Doesn't matter how much power your engine has if you cannot effectively get it to the road - that's my Rule #1 - Suspension to use what you already have before you try to add a lot more.
SuperblackZ: yeah, Classic, NX, Sunny is very similar...
i dont want to make a big power gain at the moment.. im going to wait when original exhaust rusted and thats the moment when i buy a 2.25" stainless one. Same as suspension, etc.
BTW. new photos after today wash...
Im also hard working on engine bay look. Hand work everything! Compare before and after photos.

Smart, I try to do the same as I have usually a few projects at once - new exhaust when the old one is dead, same with the header - cracked again, so I replaced it. I have a hard time taking off parts like exhausts that work well & are in good shape just to upgrade them, unless I can sell them off to cover a good part of the cost. Suspension, same, I usually upgrade when the parts are dying, except for the non-wear pieces like sway bars.
Otherwise it's hard to justify things like over $1200 for a SS true dual cat-back exhaust for my G Coupe when the OEM is pretty damn good and in great shape - dropping a grand plus just for 10-15 hp seems pretty stupid to me.
Can't see the pics right now (blocked) so I'll have to check them later!
