Jap car UK dials

[Major combover]

Currently my Rev counter doesn't work. So I bought another 160mph dial cluster however it doesn't work at all. Only the handbrake indication light comes on but nothing else works. Then I had a look on the back of the dials and the connections seem to look a little different. Im guessing that's due to my car being an import and dials from a UK car?

Quite possibly, yes. You can open them up and swap the internal components over though. So your solution is probably to fit the working tachometer into your original combination meter.

Correct.

Remove the 4 screws that hold the rev counter to the cluster, and fit to your cluster.

Ahhh that seems simple enough thanks! Could I also swap over the speedometer since it goes to 160mph instead of 100mph? Also the mini boost guage doesn't work however the other dial cluster has a voltage meter. Is that a simple swap as well?

Yes, you can swap the speedo in. Bear in mind if you do that, your odometer will them be reading in miles, not kilometers.

The voltmeter will fit in place of the awful stock boost gauge, but there's a couple of extra steps need to make it work correctly. There's a HOWTO on MR2OC: http://www.mr2oc.co.uk/know-your-2-know ... bartid=273

If you have an early MK2 your boost gauge probably doesn't work because someone has disconnected the pressure sensor in the engine bay to remove fuel cut

So if i wanted rev5 uk clocks in my import n/a, i'd have to swap the individual guages into my current enclosure?

It's probably more reliable. There are a few wiring differences and a couple of warning lights that one car has that the other doesn't (and visa versa)
