Digital gauges.

[catalin]

Who has the factory JD digital gauges in their car????

I don't think anyone did... I know shepherd posted a pic of it.

Wouldn't we need a speed sensor to use the Digital speedometer?

[catalin]

There is a digital meter controller mounted on the passenger side under the glove box that I did not get with my gauges. I just figured this out right now.

Think anyone would want to buy these?? They're for an automatic and I have a standard tranny.

i am getting mine this week. it should be here in the next few days.
no you won't need digital speedo sensor. it used the cable that connects to the gauges and after that, it transfers to digital.
the plus should be the same according to JDM manual.
i will let you guys know when i get the gauges. as soon as i get them i will post some pictures.

Yea there should be a seperate control unit for the digital gauges according to the manual. Cant you get it from the same place you got the gauges?

Edit:
Also it looks like the light dimmer control is different (has some kind of dimmer cancel switch, whatever that's for)

I should be able to order them. These gauges came from New Zealand with a co-workers sister when she came to visit him here in Canada. The disappointing thing was that they're for an automatic tranny.

whoa that's cool how much?

The digital gauges were only available for automatics.

I always wanted to get them :)

Maybe you could sell them to me catalin. :)

No wonder Pete couldn't find them for manual :)
i have to look at the manual, but i don't see why there is a diff box for it.

[thegreatdane]

Catalin, except from the harness going to the control unit, then does the rest of the analog gauge harness fit in the digital gauges or do you have to wire some of it yourself?

I'm not 100% sure just yet but it looks like there would be some re-wiring involved.

I don't think I am going to spend the time to get them going.

If you guys want them send me a message with an offer and I will consider.

Thanks guys.

I'll take a couple of pics for you and post them.

The glass is in a little rough shape but I'm confident with a good glass cleaner and scratch filler or remover it would look much better.

oh yeah, there's some rewiring involved... would be worth it for the "cool" factor, but i like analog guages myself

[A20A1]

Dremel and Plexiglass buffing compund should get out the scratches...

c'mon vanilla you know you want that knight rider look

Turbo boost. :D

[Vanilla Sky]

when you're racing or whatever, seeing where the needle lays is much easier than actually having to read the number on the guage

[carotman]

Looks kinda weird. Still, I want them :) There are some connectors that aren't present on the USDM version of the cluster (or the analog cluster itself)

[accordlxi2.0]

i still want that though, damn why did honda do that?!
i mean make em' only in japan.

[shepherd79]

i got my set on monday. yeah i have to figure out how to hook them up. it shouldn't be a problem. I just need to find some time to do it.

[Vanilla Sky]

shep... you get those in, and i'll be up to check them out in person :p

[shepherd79]

yeah, i have a lot of stuff to buy to finish this project. the top cover for them is diff, and so some plugs.
plus i need that stupid control box to make the light up.

time to get down with a soldering iron, man
