Phil Wall Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Thought I would move this to technical. As to follow the discussion is not appropriate in For Sale/Wanted. Does anyone know if the UK clock can just be plugged into the Jap spec clock/plug/loom, will the temperature be shown, or do you have to pick up directly from the sensor in the front bumper to get the signal for the temperature readout.

Digsy Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 I've been wondering this too. Watching this thread with interest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 I would assume its possible as you still have the temperature sensor for the aircon...I assume both items use the same temp probe. Its mounted on the underside of the mouth of the supra. Well I think that's a temperature sensor. It looks slightly like the bobble in the dashboard right up against the screen which is also for the aircon system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wall Posted February 27, 2002 Author Share Posted February 27, 2002 Yes I know the location od f the sensors, I just dont know if the signal to the clock/ temp display comes straight from the sensor or is altered insome way by the ECU. I guess I need a friendly UK spec owner who will let me take the clock out and try it. Any takers, we have some good pubs round here, if you make it the first Thursday of the month we can have fun with some TVR's as well, at their monthly meet.

Andy Metcalfe Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Why don`t we just steal a UK TT and strip it for bits?? Oooops sorry......i was forgetting that there all locked up like Fort Knox now,after Adrians went missing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughie Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 i've always wondered where the temp sensor is on my uk mkiv. so it's somewhere under the bumper at the front yeah ?? it's interesting cos in summer when it's parked (NOT facing the sun) and then i start it up the temp. says about 35deg.C when it's about 28C. Then when moving it quickly comes back to the "right" temp. Generally i find the temp.sensor very accurate and useful for black ice warning in winter.
