sp001in · #1 19-03-2008, 07:04 PM

as the description says, I have seen the white background hsv dashes in many R8's etc. I have notice there are 3 lcd displays as oppose to one on the vy. will a vz hsv dash with three lcd displays work in my vy ute? if not can i get a vy hsv one that will?

Hi,

The VY and VZ clusters use different plugs.

The way to go is to get a VY cluster, but there is a big trap for new players. The VY and VY II use different fuel sender units. The clusters fit OK, but if you get the wrong one, the fuel guage will work backwards and the Distance to Empty function on the trip computer will be useless.

This problem can be corrected by changing the fuel sender unit to a compatiable one - this cost $410 for the only person I am aware of who has done it. There have been statements that the problem can be fixed by reprogramming the cluster, but I am not personally sure of this.

Best way is to do the necessary research, and make sure that you get a compatiable cluster in the first place.

I have put a Calais cluster into my VY II, and very happy with the outcome.

im also wanting to change my dash

is series the only thing to look for?
like does v6,v8 matter?
or manual or auto?

and if changing the dash only, everything should work perfect?

could your vy senator signature cluster go straight into a vy holden ss and be fully functional?

I would imagine so. Could need calibrating by holden perhaps.

Are you questioning the statement? Your dash has the three window compuiter, which I imagine is what was being referred to.

This raises a point I have wondered for some time. Is the HSV instrument facia, such as yours, available as a separate part, so that a standard Berlina or Calais instrument panel could be converted to appear like an HSV? If it could, it would be much cheaper than buying a complete panel and having to recalibrate or worry about compatibility of connnections. The only fiddly bit would be removing and replacing the needles.

all the dashes look identical in basic form from what i can see. if they disassembled into seperate parts it would work. i mean all the guages are in the same spots arnt they?

Yes, series is the only gothcha.

The cluster will likely need a Tech2 programming by a Holden dealer to set things like engine, transmission, tyres etc. If the cluster has less than 100 Km, then the dealer can set the odometer to the same as the old car. If more than 100 km, then only an instrument specialist can adjust the odometer reading.

Was questioning what he was saying saying series 1 only had one LCD window.
