VX SS - Dash Conversion

[nolim8ts]

I recently purchased the below items from eBay. I assume that it would be a straight switch over and then taking the car to Holden to match the new odometers reading to the old one?

Dash Cluster

Hazard, Trip and Headlight Switch

Heater Control

pretty easy m8 i wouldnt recoken u will need to i did the cluster swap and car was fine, just if ur going thru the effort of a swap why not go 3 window i did! just an idea m8

Are there any differences between the VX Cluster and the VX SS Cluster? If not, is it as simple as getting Holden to re-calibrate the dash?

At the time, I couldn't find a 3 window dash on eBay and since some the globes in the dash / heater control had blown, i thought it would be better to replace everything rather than having blue / green etc / orange.

thats cool m8 the only difference between the v8 i noticed is thatthe revs will not line up the same, but tech 2 from gmh will fix that m8

so.. if my car has a 1 dash window on the cluster can i just buy a 3 window one and replace it? Will I need to make any other changes?

These are the quotes I received to re-calibrate the dash.

1) $140 from Holden to reset everything except the odometer
2) $181 to match the new odometer to the old one (3rd party company)

Fitted the dash this afternoon and have to say it looks really good. The only slight exception is the light which slightly bleeds around the RPM and Speed Needles.

After speaking to the 3rd company party, they have now come back stating that they may not be able reset the odometer to the original dash. On top of that, they reckon it could take 3 days to reset it and they might require the assistance from another party to reset it but they wouldn't tell me who.

Does anyone know a company in Perth which can reset the odometer?

Give Dr Bob a PM i think theres more trouble with changing the ODO if its from a series 2 VT upwards (not sure on the VX's) and can only b changed if theres less than 100kms on the clock. Mines a VT 1 i got mine changed through him, hes not in perth but its worth the effort.

all else fails i can change ur original cluster 2 light up with LEDs.
