Now I'm used to reading the speedo in Kph from having an SR20 swap for a long time but the significant other doesn't! So I'm lookin to swap back to USDM STi cluster. So for trade, I have a JDM V8 that reads almost 80,000km, (thats almost 50k in miles), lights up in red, has shiftlight and shift buzzer/beeper, it does the startup needle sweep ceremony, 9k tach with 8k redline, outside temp reads in celcius, and speed in kilometers. I'd like to trade for an 04 STi. Will try to take a picture later tonight.

 

bump bump!

 

Would it be plug-n-play into a USDM car?

Ive currently got a 05 USDM STi cluster that currently has 31,270 miles (and counting)

 

free bump for pics!

 

 

It is plug-n-play for me with a 2005. Using the JDM V8 cluster requires whatever you would do for a USDM 2004 STi cluster to work in your car. I'm using this in a 2005 and it was a total plug-n-play. In mine the ABS light stays on (the polarity is reversed), the rear diff temp light stays on, and the DCCD light. Other than that, everything works fine from the needle sweep, shift light and beep, 5 Illumination settings, Trip A and B, outside temp (only works if you car has auto HVAC or you go through the task of installing whats needed and it ain't pretty). If any request for daytime or the cluster fully removed, I will do so this weekend.

 

Where in NorCal are you located?

Im in Sac and id be willing to trade if you're ok with an 05 instead of an 04

 

Located in Concord/P.Hill, Let me research what is involved for an 05 cluster first before I commit. As far as I know, it isn't going to be a plug n play. I don't mind the lights that stay on; just the buzzing, fuse blowing, shaving plugs, or having to relocate pins.

 

Go to iaperformance.com and they have a chip that plugs into your cluster that makes it read in mph

 

If u check my build thread I swapped it into my car with no real issues. Didn't have.to swap any pins or anything. I might of shaved a plug but I can't remember.

 

Indeed a rare item. I love mine. This cluster is a full plug and play item. I also bought the "speedo chip" from IA Performance to convert KPH-MPH.


It's fun when your motor allows you to hit that 8k redline

 

Got the same one, and yes it is!!
