does anybody know the difference between the 96 and 98 spec spoon cluster?

 

Wiring at the back is different

 

reason i asked it i have an 01 usdm type r. i can get a 96 spec spoon cluster but will it work properly? what needs to be done in order to make it work?

 

take your 01 cluster and take off the green film on the back and swap it with the 96 spec spoon cluster and bam you're good to go..

 

My 96 doesn't have the SRS and ABS lights as well, but I have a 96 JDM R.

I'll post a pic in bit

 

Swap the Spoon gauges into your stock cluster housing

 

Another type-r?

 

yes sir. i can't seem to stay away from them. LOL!!!

 

The seatbelt light and some other light (can't remember) is swapped.

 

The seatbelt light and the gauge for the gas thats what you need to swap

 

gas? I don't think its gas...its more like the Door Open Light or something like that. So in other words, when the door is open, it'll tell you that your seat belt is unfastened. I learned to live with mine without swapping...no big deal

 

Oh and the water temp gauge will not work well..

 

X one million

 

Its simple get the correct cluster!

 

reason i asked is i had a chance to get a 96 spec for my 01. not too many people selling these things

 

Not all 96 and 98 clusters are the same. Some will have the SRS and ABS lights and some won't. If the car came with an SRS or ABS will determine whether the cluster has the lights or not.

The seat belt, door ajar and ABS lights are in the wrong spotS on the 96 cluster. On the 96 cluster the ABS light is in the seat belt spot, the door ajar light is in the ABS spot and the seat belt light is in the door ajar spot.
