I would like to know if it is possible to replace a JDM Gauge Cluster which shows 180km/h with the typeSH OEM gauge cluster that only shows 150? Ive seen some with 220km/h. Can I install either one without doing anything else? If I hit 50mph will it show as 70mph? I sent a message to a seller on Ebay and he told me hes had people buy them off of him and install them without a problem. Is there anyone in here that has a cluster with 180km or above that does not have any issues? I would really want to swap to a 180km one. Thanx
Do you have a friend you can swap clusters with? That would be a sure fire way to know if it works or not and its a pretty easy job, only a few screws and a couple of plugs.
you know the oem cluster shows speed as mph with km/h as the subset. the jdm one is the opposite, are you doing this just to see km/h instead of mph? or do you like the bezel or needle colors or something else?
it is plug and play though, no issues other than your milage being inaccurate. don't tug on the needles.
the only reason im doing it is because I like a cluster that shows more mph and it looks much better too. Im trying to go all JDM. JDM Fenders, Bumber, lip kit, jdm visors and more. So far I have the bumper and lip and Ive included S2000 seats.

if i'm not mistaken i think the JDM clusters ONLY have km/h and no mph at all..correct me if i'm wrong...if it does have mph as a subset though, i'd def. pick up a cluster for the right price..the yellow needles and CF bezel are very nice touches

maybe i'm reading it wrong.. but i been meaning to tell you that... km/h and different from mph you know that right?
150mph is 240km/h ... so getting the 180km/h one is going to mean you top off around 110mph on the gauge.. you'd have to get the cluster that goes to like 280 km/h or so i think i've seen.. but 50mph and 50km/h is not the same thing you know that right? just making sure
Good thing you mentioned that because thats something I did not know. Thank You very much. Thanks to everyone. I was thinking about it after this chat Im leaving it behind. I just ordered the gauge rings for 50$ on ebay. They look great. I know most of you paint them. I did as well. trust me is so much nicer with the chromed rims.
holy wow. never knew someone actually manufactured these rings outside of honda. plz take pics before and after. might as well make a simple how to write up
no offense, but i've heard that since those aren't the JDM chrome rings they're kinda ghetto..they just go over the stock rings and make the cluster look bulky and protrude around the gauge
