Mine is an '88 model, only goes to 8k and the looks like the one on the right.

I think the different style numbers depended on the badge (SE, Sports, Sports Cruising etc).

The cluster in the original post goes up to 9k, but it is the same style as the one on the right, which only goes to 8k.

Also, my cluster doesn't seem to have a check engine light, is it supposed to be next to the cat temp sensor?

i am stupid

checked mine today... 9k rpm revs up to...

ordered my new cluster tonite... 1 week n she will be here mwahahahaha its been painted white in japan (the cluster surround)

so ill just be pinching the actual dials and thats it...

last nite my gf had a stupid idea of pulling off the green bits of the warning lights - so they were clear...

got a headache driving last nite without the green tabs over the indicator and warning lights LOL... theyre goin back on

nah... it was a stupid idea to make them clear...too bright though needs the green slip over it... i dont mind green indicators

once my new cluster arrives next week from jap ill play around with colour options - so excited to have white dials coming!

My cluster is almost the same as the one on the right, except it goes to 9k and has the green behind it, the ceff is apparently a 90 model.

A friend of mine can get the back plate change completely, so you can can have red, white whatever for around 50-100 dollars.

I've been meaning to get mine done, but just to lazy.

my dash is like the one on the right (same lettering) but its manual so none of this park / drive bullshit. Doesnt have the cruise control light though. The rev dial goes to 9k and its a 1988 model. so yea maybe the lettering is based on the model of car it was ......dash light is green though

here are my efforts tonight.

painted the surround

stripped the green sleeve of with yellow globes

but i think i f*@ked up. My mate pulled the needle out of the temp gauge and the tacho, now the temp isn't reading like it used to. So i spose tacho has a good chance of being wrong.

Anyone know how to fix????

Compare the tacho with an aftermarket one, and just get an aftermarket temp gauge, factory temp gauges are way too slow.

from memory thats your projector light button... i think let me check when i finish work

You mean high beam? That's on the other side. If you mean the fog light button then that's not on the cluster. It's some sort of warning light but I can't figure out what for.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
