hey guys im looking at changing my dash cluster to a better one,at the moment i have the stock standard cluster in my 91 executive,so there isnt much i can do to it,can anyone post pics of the different levels of clusters and ones that would fit mine from different models,and also whats involved in changing them over,pics and a step by step guide would be great
If you have Fuel Speed and Temp, that is a Level 1 cluster, just the basic option.
If you have Fuel, Speed, Rpm and Temp, that is a Level 2 cluster. If not, it's a fairly simple upgrade from the level 1, may be as simple as unplugging the level 1 cluster and plugging in the level 2.
The top spec cluster is the Level 3. It has the gauges of the Level 2 cluster, but in a better design. It also incorporates a trip computer, whose displays can be viewed in the 3 LCD screens below the gauges. Aside from the cluster itself, you will need the appropriate switchblock (for the Trip computer controls), a loom out of a VN/VP which had the level 3 cluster, or get 88greenVN to make you up a patch loom (which is easier to install). Have a good read of this thread for all you info you need for a Level 3 cluster conversion: Tripin'...
dude thats great thanks heaps,i think i might go to the level 2 coz i dont wana do all that fumbling around with the new loom just for LCD screens,what im really interested in is pulling apart a level 2 and changing the colours so i get blue background and red needles,coz you cant do it to a level 1
can be done 2 a lvl 1 check out my ride thread lvl 1 with white face with black surround all markings in red light up red at night also got red needles got paint for needles of ebay and faces from speed graphics on ebay he can do just about any design u want just ask
if u decide to go lvl 2 just pull the lvl 1 out and put the lvl 2 in works fine just make sure its the right 1 for vn or vp depending on what u have or the warning/turn signal lights on bottem of cluster will be in wrong spots
dont really wana do it to the level 1 coz on the actual face it has green on it and i dont want that,id have to change the face then,may as well just go for the level 2 coz it will look better,what models came stock with the level 2 in the VNs?
i got my lvl 2 cluster out of a vp at the wreakers for $30 bucks only thing i had 2 do was take a swap a peice of plastic over from the old 1 cause when i used the left indicator the power flashed but its all good now
