Default Gauge cluster authenticity

....I'm looking for a definitive "list" of the variants for the ITR guage cluster. I've searched this forum and this whole site to try and put together what variations the ITR cluster came in.

I happen to have, what I think/thought, an ITR cluster that I want to sell in favor of using the S2000 digital gauge for my Integra. I do plan to sell my DC cluster, but do not know what to ask and want to represent it appropriately.

My cluster has the gauges of a GSR ("dotted" hashes on the temp and fuel gauges), but has the faux background bezel). I've opened up the cluster once to install the Mugen "gauge visor" and the CF bezel seemed to be a part of the cluster, like it was factory installed.

Can anyone offer any help? Thanks in advance.

BTW, I did do a search and a big proponent of the search function, it just didn't find what I was looking for (either because of the search engine, or due to the words I was using for search). I'm not trying to be a hassle, so if I am, I apologize.

I thought all USDM ITR clusters were the same from 98 + ?

(Im assuming your talking about the USDM cluster since it would have mph and not kilos.)

Do you have a picture of yours? Once we see it, it will be easy to determine what cluster it is.

Yes...mine's a USDM cluster. I'll get a pic of it tonight and post it up.

Thanks for the tip on "blueintegraboy". Commence searching now. Thanks again.

Here's what my cluster looks like, only with the CF bezel though (notice the lack of the cat converter light):

The USDM doesn't have the cat light...

The redline on that picture is 8100 which is not a type r..

Sounds like you have a gsr cluster then with the cf bezel or itr cluster with gsr gauges.

Off topic, but I'm curious what that red button is on the steering column!?...

Hohohoho...[/french accent]...sure the cluster only shows 8100 redline, but the motor sings a different tune.

Ok seriously, thanks for pointing out the obvious that I didn't look for. I completely forgot to look at the actual redline of the tach.

B2FiNiTY,

If I was guessing, I'd say that I got an ITR cluster with GSR/LS/RS gauges and lights. The only reason I say that is because that faux cf bezel is really epoxied on nicely, like it was done at the factory. There are no bubbles, there's no edge overlap, it's centered, and there's no epoxy seepage along the edges.

Ok...so now I know not to ask a price that's comparable to what an actual ITR cluster goes for. BTW, the one of the reasons I'm going to an S2000 cluster is to have a cluster that shows the redline of the K20 appropriately.

Again, thank you guys.

BlackAckeR,

Sorry, I do not know. I borrowed the pic from another thread on this site.

The faux CF is painted, if it's a stick-on faux CF than it's a non-ITR cluster housing with a faux CF piece stuck on with 3m double sided tape.

Actually it sounds like you just confirmed you have a non-itr cluster with a CF cluster overlay installed on it.

Actually....if it's painted on, then that explains why the bezel seems to be done so perfectly (as if it was from factory).

Was the bezel that highly valued of an item that the previous owner of the car would have gone through the trouble to tear apart an ITR cluster to throw in GSR gauges? I'd assume that the ITR cluster would be plug-and-play into another Integra...are they not cross-compatible?

I'll get pics of it tonight and let you all decide.

The AUDM cluster is essentially the same as the UKDM Cluster I'm fairly sure.... 260 is the highest number on the speedo, and it has all orange illumination (not red needles).

Like this at night :-

that would be more like the EDM not UKDM ...

the UKDM reads to 160 MPH as its primary #s

Depends on the year of the car and the year of the cluster, but it can be modified to work regardless. Most likely it's just a bezel he bought off ebay or something.

His is in MPH so it's not JDM. The cluster is just a US GSR with the bezel being replaced.

I dont mean to hijack the thread but can someone tell me how easy/hard it is to remove a speedo clock and transplant it into another cluster. I want to get a Euro speedo and transplant it into my JDM cluster. BTW if anyone has a Euro (up to 260kmph) cluster i will gladly do a straight swap for a UK ITR cluster!
