JDM Cluster swap?

[dave6riv]

If i were to replace the usdm cluster with a type r cluster, would the measure ments be off? would i have to get it calibrated?

Your best bet would be to located a UKDM Type R Cluster like mine. The incriments are the same as stock except you have a higher redline and mph. Where as the JDM Cluster is im kmh. I have a buddy that has one currently for sale, hit me up if you're interested!

Only thing about the UKDM cluster is that you'll have to cut one wire off the harness and ground it to the cd player bracket to have working dash lights. I can show you how to do it, and this only takes 15 minutes to do.

Here is two pics of it installed in my car.

I bought a broken type R cluster from the UK and swaped the white face plate with the one on the Si cluster that way you can keep your OD and you don't have to mess with wires and you keep your illumination pot.

did you find it on ebay?

price?

I bought a red H from uk ebay member and thru other emails it came up about the cluster I paid like $40 I think he found it at a salvage yard in the UK was a decent deal until I had to paid another $40 to have it shipped.

if you swap the white face plate (im assuming you mean from the type r to the si
you're rpm gauge will still climb at the same rate, but when its at the 6800 spot you'll be at 7800
and when you're at 60mph youre thing will read.. uh.. something else. =\

Completely forgot about the difference between the gauges. So i am happy that i didn't go that route! Still i wish i hadn't lost my mileage from the old cluster..... Now i don't know how many miles are on the car exactly. I just know over 100k....

Hmmm, Yea I didn't think that the scale would be different. Are you sure? I checked the Tach against Kpro and it read the same but I'll have to find something to check the Mph
