I've just picked up a UK spec speedo and want to fit it to my Jap spec car but one of the connectors on the UK version is a 4pin and my car only has a three pin lead, can I just interchange the leads or must I carry out more mods to make it fit?

 

thanks

Easiest way is to take all the individual dials out of the UK speedo housing and put them in the Jspec one, pretty easy job but if you dont fancy doing it I can if you send them both to me. ;)

thanks for the advise, I'm sure I will have no probs swapping it all out. Will the UK speedo work OK straight off the Jap speed sensor or do I need one of those speed conversion gizzmos,

cheers

Just swap over the dials and it will work perfectly giving a mile reading on both speedo and milometer with no converter.

But you will still have the 112mph limit.

You will but theres no dodgey converter to cut out and stop the power steering working mid corner and a decent chip from DTA will remove the limiter. ;)

True, but if its cutting out when going round a corner then it has been fitted poorly and not a 'fault' of the convertor.

Or if you send your ECU to AndyP, then he'll socket it and put one of his chips in it for you at the same time, for a VERY reasonable fee!!! (I know, he did mine and I've had absolutely NO problems with it)

ok :)

thanks guys for the advice, as for the delimiter Jim Wolfe took care of that with the upgraded chip already fitted, cheers

would a straight swap work regardless of N/A or T/T? mine's a jap N/A so could I swap the dials from a UK T/T without any adjustments at all?? didn't think it would be that simple...or am I being naive??

You can swap but may find as above you have different connectors on the wiring in which case just swap the dials over into the origional housing.
