JDM Gauge Cluster Question

I got a question on the JDM/EDM gauge cluster..
Will the automatic cluster work on the 5speed?
Just wondering if the tachometer, rear window light, gas & temp will work the same. I just bought a auto cluster w/ the transtop switch (in case I ever decide to make that jump).. Let me know if you guys have experience or know for sure if it works..

thanks

 

K answered my own questions.. had to hybrid the clusters to keep my dash/cluster lights working.. but they're all cherry now.. Carbon fiber trim made it 10X sweeter.. I just have to get used to KMH driving..

Too bad the damn transtop switch can't be cruzin in the spot tho.. Since the hazzard button is in the same place, and if I use the JDM hazzard button, its all the way over on the left hand side where my AUX lights are.. just can't do it.. These buttons are worthless, unless I relocate my aux light & heater switch.. I don't care about the cruise control since I disabled that thing when I changed my steering wheel.. Oh wells..

Just sharing my slow and painful progress from USDM->JDM
Sorry if this is boring.

 

I feel ya on the too many switches not enough room haha. I have all my spaces filled up so id be in the same situation if I get 1 more accessory.

 

nice...i saw that on ebay

 

Nice.. what I have been constantly asking myself is if I will be able to keep using my AUT cluster once I do the tranny swap :S

 

Oh forgot to mention I have a JDM aut cluster lol thats why I want to keep it..

 

glad to see you got your cluster up and working now braddah. show some pics off when you get the chance.

 

who has both auto and manual JDM cluster, pimp.

 

i gots to get me one soon too..manual though..

 

How is that both in one?

Can I use my aut JDM once I turn std?

 

My other car was running on an auto cluster when I got it. It ran fine, but I don't know what the CELs were caused by since the motor blew shortly after

 

That's interesting maybe I can work around the CEL's with the p28 since it's programmable already..

 

hey.. just noticed that the jdm cluster doesn't have a light dimmer knob..hmmm, does that mean it stays bright always???

 

Mine is like a happy medium not really bright not to dimmed out..

But you are correct no dimmer on it..

 

thats cool.. i just got mine. gotta hook it up and see what its like.

 

When I plugged in mine, I didn't really see the backlight.. So I hybrid my cluster.. it's pretty easy to just unscrew the gauges that you need, (ie. kmh odometer and tach) and put them in ur usdm cluster with the backlight module.

everything works happily together, I used the JDM plastic covering so I could get the ((O)) instead of the BRAKE, i had to drill a hole for the dimmer switch, but everything came out pretty good. I don't have any pictures right now, but when I take some I'll post them.

Seems to be the best option for me, so I can get the best of both worlds..

 

Nice.. I wanna see pics man..

 

Sorry these are shitty, I only have my sidekick to take a picture with, and the camera in this phone sucks ballsacks.




Here's my climate controls (kinda hard to see in the light)


Door Lights & Speaker Grills (boring)



I'll update with a better camera and whatever new parts I get..

 

pretty cool dude! that climate control works and all.. full jdm with all the wiring and sensors??

 

Not full JDM yet.. Still adding piece by piece.. What wiring and sensors are you talking about?
