hey guys,

just need to know if its ok to put a series 2 instrument cluster into a series 3,
i recently brought a level 2 cluster with the tacho and i am hoping that there is not gonna be any issues,
i know the plugs line up and everything, but is there any difference in the voltage or anything??

Thanks

Straight swap between all vr and vs clusters
Just make sure its out of a car with the same engine as yours

*UPDATE*
took the risk and just put it in, no probs at all, fuel gauge works, temp meter works, trip and total KM's ticks over, Tacho works, Speedo works.
All good, thanks for the help anyways mate, So S2 cluster into S3 (ute that is) no probs solong as the plugs line up and the
plastic circuit boards are similar, then its bound to work

I was recently thinking about this, as everything except my km counter works (and my fuel needle has epileptic fits)

So with the level 3 cluster, i know it has all the digital lcds across the bottom, i don't need to wire anything else in to make them work?

If a level 1 or 2 cluster was originally fitted, then you will need to do a few wiring modifications to get a level 3 cluster and trip computer to work correctly. Theres some excellent threads about the subject on here, and maybe even
a "how-to" if I remember correctly, just do a search on here for level 3 cluster fitment, or something along those lines.
