Hsv

[[JUDGE]]

Hey after seeing Stealthy's HSV dash cluster, i want!! does the VS HSV go up to 250 as well? and this would fit into mine if the Vs standard one does right??

[STEALTHY™]

Yes it'll fit.


Keep in mind, i payed $600 for the Dash (complete VS Cluster) and swapped the speedo's over. The are calibrated differently, so the neeedle moves like normal.

I ended up selling the VS cluster with my speedo in it for $400, but that was all things happening at the right time.

I'm assuming you have a level 3 dash, cause if you don't, it wont fit.

[[JUDGE]]

my dash is stock...id say its lvl 1 vp executive series 1

[STEALTHY™]

yeah, sorry to say they wont fit. As the HSVs with the speedo have a level 3 dash.


only thing i could suggest, is converting to a level 3 dash, or find a cheap calais (and put whatever is good from your car onto it)

[AirStrike]

I was under the impression without modding them you couldnt run the VR/VS clusters without a smoke show!

[Morton]

haha, ah yes, the smoke. And the charred circuits

[STEALTHY™]

i didn't explain it very well.


I bought the VS cluster, but just swapped the actual Speedo part, as they are interchangable.

You can buy 250km/h guages from Emtech Automotive mate, $270 I think for the EL style ones (white guages).

Then like $45 for a speedo correction kit to calibrate the needle.

I was going to do this but as I have diff gears the speedo needs calibration for those, so with different speed dials, my digital speedo would never match the actual speedo guage... Which would suck. It would also put the odomoter off, distance to empty, all that stuff.

So the only way I could do it successfully is the way Stealthy did it, but...Not worth the hassle just to have 250 instead of 220 in my opinion. (I aint ever gonna get to 250 anyway )

[STEALTHY™]

Your way seems very complicated.


Granted it'll work, but i think the cost would exceed the $200 i paid for the dash anyway. (i know to get my speedo corrected from the 3.73s would be about 140 for my old dash, or about 270 because i have the VS speedo)

Also noticed i said i sold the old dash for 400, it was actually $200 i made back, so it technically cost me $400.

[[JUDGE]]

sorry guys im a bit lost...so if i was to go the same as stealthy, what would i have to do? step by step.

[STEALTHY™]

Ok, you'd need to get a level 3 dash from a VN or VP Calais (including the 4th plug connector, and obviously the dash buttons from either side). You'll also need a modified loom, or have the instructions to splice into your loom for the trip to work.

Then you'll need to find a written off VS HSV (VR GTS have them too i think)


Then you may have to get the speedo corrected (not sure as my diff gears were done before i had the speedo put in.

is ur cluster a vs/vr hsv?

[calais_cruzin]

is ur cluster a vs/vr hsv?

Just the dails and needle, the cluster is a VP calais Lv3.

He just got the dail out of a VS HSV, and put it inplace of the stock one.

[[JUDGE]]

ohhh ok now i understand basically its just a level 3 dash upgrade with the HSV features put in

[STEALTHY™]

ok, each gauge (in any dash, like the tacho, fuel, speedo etc) as all interchangeable with the same, so if your fuel gauge is broken, you can just get a new on, instead of the whole cluster.


i just did the swap with the Speedo (only the speedo that goes to 250, the other 3 gauges are the standard Clais ones)

They come in VR and VS HSV, not sure if its all models, or limited. As the dash i got was already out of a car.
