    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?

    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.

    The digital gauges were only available for automatics.

    I always wanted to get them

    Maybe you could sell them to me catalin.

    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.

    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.



    This picture shows the digital gauges on the bottom and an set from and 89 SEi.




    A close up of the digital ones.

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

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

    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)
