hello,
i recently imported an mk3 supra from the united states.
i will write down a little background so you will understand whats it all about.
first of all...the guy i bought the car from, bought the car that way - so he couldnt give me much info...
the car has been swapped with a 1jzgte vvti engine and a r154 gearbox.
the cluster is somewhy from a n\a supra (has a volt gauge on it.
the water temp gauge does not work, the oil gauge (level, or pressure? ) doesnt work as well.
when i opened and looked behind the cluster i saw a few things...
1) there are a few wires coming out of the cluster that someone soldered there (and i dont mean for led lights or something)
2) 2 of this wires seem to be soldered on the place where there in supposed to be the place for the speedometer cable to be inserted in the cluster....
does the 1jz swap work on the speedometer cable, or on speedometer sensor?
3) there are quiet a few wires that are cut in the original connectors behind the cluster...is it suppose to be that way in the swap?
4) when i recognized the oil press wire, and connected it directly to the oil sensor - the gauge went after a few seconds all the way up, and stayed there... (like it has been grounded...) but it is not grounded. because same thing exactly happend with the water temp gauge.
** i got a supra turbo cluster in full working order.... when i checked it with this cluster - same thing happened.
** i saw behind the glove box a yellow male connector hanging up in the air. i think it has 10 pins. (including the wires from the oil press and the water temp, and tachometer from the cluster..... maybe the problem is there?...is it supposed to be a modul or somekind of unit that the connector is supposted to be hooked up to there?
another thing is that the a\c doesnt work - but we will get to it later....i need to solve the cluster issues first.
thanks!
