I have a MY97 with black faced clocks and cable drive to speedo.

I'd like to fit the later white faced clock set, from a 98, with the electric speedo.

Anyone know what's involved please?

Hi Gerry,

Not sure if you still have the sti wagon but if you do I would stick with the later sti clocks. I would think the uk clocks in a jap import would cause the speedo to read incorrectly. Well thats what I did with mine.

For starters you will need the later speed sensor (electrical type) thats fitted into the gearbox as well as an electronic speed convertor.

The rest is rewiring/soldering the new speedo clock loom to the old speedo loom.
I used the info below to re-pin/rewire the sti4 speedo clock in my94sti.

JDM V4 Harness: This is what the connector leads to on the gauge cluster
A1> BlU/WHT high beam indicator
A2> RED high beam indicator
A3> YEL door open, interior lights
A4> LTGRN ! symbol for parking brake
A5> RED/WHT CEL (now in red)
A6> BLK/WHT battery symbol/light
A7> BLK/BLU seat belt symbol/light
A8> GRN/WHT oil drip symbol/light
A9> BLU/RED open door warning/light
A10> WHT vehicle speed sensor 2
A11> GRN/BLK vehicle speed signal wire
A12> BLK vehicle speed sensor 2
A13> VIO illumination


B1> YEL/BLK clock
B2> GRN/WHT temp gauge
B3> BLK/RED temp gauge
B4> BLK ground
B5> -------
B6> BLK/GRN left turn indicator
B7> GRN/RED airbag symbol/light
B8> BLU/ORG open door warning indicator/light
B9> LTGRN/BLK right turn indicator
B10> GRN tach signal


C1> ORG/WHT illumination
C2> BRN/WHT fuel gauge
C3> RED/BLK low fuel warning light
C4> YEL/GRN hot "thing" warning light
C5> LTGRN/YEL ABS indicator/light
C6> BLU/YEL snow flake "HOLD" warning/indicator
C7> PNK ???
C8> WHT/BLK small lightbulb housing, with no transparent indicator
C9> YEL/RED I/C Spray indicator light
C10> BRN/RED small lightbulb housing, with no transparent indicator
C11> ------ small lightbulb housing, with no transparent indicator
C12> WHT/GRN temp gauge
C13> YEL/GRN clock


I was luckly that I had both later & early spare complete looms to work with.
The later bulkhead loom (one piece) has the connector that plugs into the speed sensor (gearbox).

Hi Ticky, that's a brilliant reply, thank you.

Yes I do have the 97 STi wagon and still spending money on it it's this that I want to fit the later clock set to. The wagon has DCCD fitted and has the Type R clocks to go with it. The later clock set I want to fit is also from a Type R i.e. both JDM.

I also have a MY99 UK gearbox with the electric speedo drive. Again, I'm hoping to use this. One concern is that, I believe, the electric speedo can cause running problems if it malfunctions and also needs some form of delimiter (I currently have the reduction gearbox in the cable). This is further fuzzied though (I think) as I also have an Apexi ECU

Perhaps I need to get hold of the later loom, as you suggest and re-wire the plugs and see what happens?

Thanks for your help.
