HSV instrument cluster

[PhantomSV6]

Hey guys...

Will an HSV Z series instrument cluster work in my VZ SV6 automatic?

If so, would a Holden service center be able to re-calibrate it?

Thanks

[Doctor Bob]

yes and yes, if the odometer is over 100 km they cannot alter it though

[Ewok]

How much would the instrument cluster set you back in the first place? And any indication on what the calibration would cost? Interested in doing this also.

[PhantomSV6]

yeah interested to know how much calibration would cost also...

maybe around half hour labor, so around 40-45 dollars,

if its a full system re-program its takes about and hour to re-load onto the vehicle

[PhantomSV6]

so it wouldn't be more than around $100 then?

Definately doable

[Skooby]

Does anyone have pics of both dashes / clusters?

Is there much difference between them?

[PhantomSV6]

Huge difference.

This is the HSV cluster

[andyman]

id personally go for a berlina/calais dash for me

[Ewok]

hmm, actually, theres like f**k all difference between em (wow its white!! and?). Think I'll stick to the my stock SV6 dash for now.

[cewing]

go the berlina/calais dash(for the white needles), and get Phreddy to change the SMD's so as u go faster, the needle changes colour :P

Can he do this? I thought he couldn't.

[MagiTEK]

He can. but its only 2 stage. as there are 2 different leds that light up the needle. the confusion was about doing 3 stages. cant be done cause there is only 2 leds to use. There is a vid in one of Phreddys threads of a guy with blue to purple.. It looks pretty sweet actually.

[Torquative]

ohh yeh and Ive seen a car Phreddy's done, looks sweet!!!

[Bravotwozero]

so it wouldn't be more than around $100 then?

Definately doable

Don't forget to add the $500 odd for the cluster!

hey have you done this and how does it look?

It does have 3 colours though, mine goes from blue to purple to red (at redline).
I love it and also changed the info displays to white, looks much nicer than the green IMO.

What did he charge you for it?

it only goes to purple because of the colour change, blue + red makes purple. so its still only 2 leds

[andrewmac]

Yeh I know I was there when it was done and I passed pre-school colour mixing as well

[PhantomSV6]

blue and red makes purple? wtf, i'm out of the loop

[Torquative]

it only goes to purple because of the colour change, blue + red makes purple. so its still only 2 leds

but Andrews car has it fitted and at red line, say after using active select pulling onto a freeway, it goes, umm, red. So tis possible to get it to red

[PhantomSV6]

Hey i just got off the phone with Holden and they said that it may not fit depending on wether it's a series 1 or series 2. Ie my car and the HSV would need to be from the same series.

Is this right?
