I just bought a 96 jdm itr. The guage cluster had been swaped but I'm not quiet sure why the fuel gauge isn't working. I have a new fuel sending unit coming for a usdm 97 itr so that may be the problem but someone was telling me the pinouts for a 96/98 spec itr cluster are different?

Can anyone confirm this? My fuel gauge doesn't even budge as if it is getting no signal what so ever.

 

change the green film on the back. it should def. work.

 

yea, i was searching and read someone talking about the green film on the back of them. I wasn't sure exactly what needed to be changed. I don't have the original cluster. Does this mean i need to hunt down a 96 spec itr cluster for the film on the back of it?

Also what is the easiest way to identify a 96 vs 98 spec cluster?

I have a spare 96' gs-r cluster, its film should solve your problems. Let me know if you are interested in it. I'm right below Nashville, so shipping should be extremely cheap.

 

sent you a pm coolhandluke.

Can anyone else confirm that the film from a usdm gsr cluster would fix the problem with me having a 98 spec cluster in a 96 spec itr.

it will sove your problems

 

update:

took a 94-97 sir cluster film and swaped with a 98spec cluster. Worked like a champ. Easiest way to spot a 98+ cluster is it has the small plug for what I think is abs/srs.
