ok i just bought a new cluster today and installed it....the guy i bought it from showed me that when he started his car the speed would start off almost at 60km/h....he said if i use the plastic electric circuit off my usdm cluster it would go back to zero....i tried taht and still starts off at 60 and when the car is off it stays at 20.....also the water temp starts out at the normal temp near the mid way point and when the car is warm is in the max zone and the fuel gauge is a lil off.....anyone know wat i can do?? or has anyone run into this kinda problem??

 

damn omid u bought a bunk *** cluster....who the hell sold u it?? btw this is Nam your milano red usdm counterpart haha

 

i bought it off a guy from this board....i dun wanna go and say its bunk yet....im waiting for the guy to sned me an email and im gonna call him tmorrow...im giving him the benifit of the doubt.....and wats been up man? u put that b16 head to work yet?

 

my friend has a jdm cluster..and it didnt have those problems.....most likely u bought a "bunk" cluster or you installed it wrong..which i dont see how thats possible.

 

try taking it apart and swapping out all the gauge parts with the one thats currently on your car. i.e. speedo, tach, and fuel temp gauges

 

hmmm....i think ill wait on swapping the gauges til the guy talks to me....wouldnt wanna mess it up b4 then

 

thats what i had to do on mine..i swapped the gauges with my usdm cluster..everything works fine now..

 

the circuit board is different most likely. use your stock curcuit board with the jdm gages.


your idiot light are prolly all effed up too yeah?

 

You might need to just rewire it depending on the year of the cluster and your car. i had a canadian cluster in my ls and i just switched the circuit board on the back. see if you can look up the pin locations on each cluster to see if they are the same.

 

When I put the JDM in cluster in my car I had similar problems. I swapped the cluster housing and messed around with it a bit and everything worked fine. Follow the advice given by the people on this board and it'll solve your problems.

i am using my usdm circuit....and all the idiot lights still work properly....i thought i fixed the water temp by removing a screw but that was just gettin my hopes up....i tried the same thing w/ the speedometer no success...i tried every combination.....do u think using the JDM circuit would have any results???i have yet to use the jdm one...

 

also one more thing i just noticed.....the max speed this odometer is capable of is 190 km/h....um thats less then 120 mph so um im assuming this didnt come off a jdm itr cuz i believe they max out at 230 or so....can anyone shed some light on this?

 

All JDM ITRs have 180km/h speedos. has something do with th law there. Max speed till fuel cutoff is 112mph stock

 

remember..the jdm itr has a lower final drive than ours..reducing its max speed...but helping it accel quicker

 

ic....good to know
