SupraShaun Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Hi all, A while back I bought a 180mph speedo cluster (speedo, rev counter, fuel gauge etc) which the idea of replacing my current 300mph converted speedo (as it annoys the hell out of me). How do I tell if the 180mph cluster is from a UK spec or just a Jspec cluster with a different face? It's for a manual in case it makes a difference. I'm hoping it's from a UK as then in theory (after reading on here) I can remove my converter and install the UK cluster. Any help would be great!

Marty Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) The uk one has trac control written on the indicator light, the jap has slip control i think, and also the jap spec cluster has a 'slip control off' indicator below the main beam whereas the uk one has a fog light indicator there. I realized this when i bought some brushed metal dials for mine from a group buy on here.

SupraShaun Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Hmm, just shined a torch through the back of the cluster to see what lit up near the fuel/ temperature gauge. It only seems to have a blue fog light icon right at the top next to the "F" of the fuel gauge, a green "cruise" light half way down and the red (!) icon right at the bottom near the "H" of the temperature gauge. No sign of any trac/ slip control lights, does this mean it's from an N/A Jspec or do UK's have the trac related stuff in a totally different area?

straightsix Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 My guess is it's jspec as I just photographed mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraShaun Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 My guess is it's jspec as I just photographed mine. Thanks mate Mine (currently in my car) is a JSpec and I have traction control related light(s) above the (!). Is yours from a TT or N/A?

Marty Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) See this pic mate.... Where it says slip cont off on them dials, the uk cluster has a fog lamp indicator, i could be wrong about this (it was a while ago) but i'm pretty certain i'm not, mine failed the mot because of it with the new shiny dials in.
