Before I go spending

So can I get this cleared up in my own mind first.

 

If I get some secondhand UK spec clocks to fit to my Jap spec this is all I need to convert to MPH.

 

If the clocks come off a series 1 and I have a series 2 then I will need to change the speedo as the whole cluster wil not conect due to different plugs.

 

Can I then buy some dial faces from the U.S as they are MPH and it will be O.K?

 

By the way I love this smilie :nana2:

You will probably need to swap the clock over into your old casing. Don't understand why you need to buy USclock faces, you UK ones will be in MPH. Anyway, IIRC US clocks only go up to 160mph.

If you buy US dials you will have to do the resister mod to the speedo clock PCB as the US dials only go to 160mph & your speedo will be wrong otherwise.

 

Also, if you just swap for UK cluster, you will not remove the 115mph limiter. That would need an ECU chip swap too.

So then guys, what would you say is the easyest way to do it.

 

Converter?

 

Clocks?

 

Nobody has mentioned the odometer yet, how does that all work? :confused:

I have the zcentre convertor fitted and have been thinking of a work round to the fear that the changed signal affects speed sensitive items ( not sure it does)

when you wire up the converter you take the speed signal and put it into the converter and then out into the clocks and from there to the ecu out of the clocks.

a work round would be to also take the signal feed not only to the clocks via the converter but splice the ecu speed signal feed from the clocks directly into the speed signal before it goes into the converter.

Unsure if this will work but might try it
