So I have a USDM (pretty sure it's a USDM) ITR cluster.I got it for dirt cheap,like 25$ to be exact.Anyway the part in front is incorrect,didn't really notice when I purchased it,was too ecstatic at the price.And also to my dismay,after taking apart my ej2 dash (without researching first) and removing the cluster,I realized it's not plug and play.
So what can I do? Go to a pick and pull and find a LS gauge for parts/cut out the pigtails as well? That'd be mint if so,use the plastic part from it,use the pigtails out of that junked LS,and soder the pig tails onto my EJ wires,after some extensive wire diagram research. I've been told it's a decent amount of work,but I just can't get over the 10k rpm OEM gauge.

Might do a nifty LED light setup while I'm at it.

Help. Oh I know there's how to's,diys and so on.Just tell me if I can get everything I need off a junked ls.
Thanks

 

Wouldnt surprise me at that price that it was stolen.

 

Very helpful response to the post man! + Rep for you.

 

I bought it about 4-5 months ago along with a tapped vc,and a red unorthodox crank pulley,all for a whopping 60$!

 

Craigslist or Facebook?

Going to be hard to find help here when we see ITR parts go for so cheap, especially on the East coast, with the number of thefts in the last year or two.

 

Yeah,but I mean do you know if the plastics/pigtails are interchangeable off a Ls?

 

So you bought a stolen gauge?

 

Nope.Close thread waste of life supposedly.

 

Also to note,the gauge not only is missing the plastic but it is missing the carbon fiber/black piece that goes over all the light areas.The little black pieces for over the lights are there but the part that is sometimes carbon fiber or black is not.
