For aesthetics?
Because otherwise you have exactly the same controls; just different (i.e. re. the fan speed, AC and inside/outside air). I assume your style is what's fitted in non-JDM MY93-97 cars? But...is it really 'worth' it? :wonder: |

Hi Aaron
I couldn't get pics to send via pm,think you need to do them through photobucket and I hate that site! Anyway I'll post them here,,this is the gauge conversion: I need to sort some better gauges but you get the idea. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...bf18b2f2ea.jpg I haven't time to take it out to show you the back but this pod was used for the conversion: https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...79e1d62b91.jpg HTH Rich |

In that case, by all means go for it. Plenty of used control panels available. While you're at it, why not get the white Lockwood fascia backplate. Coulped with the matching dash clocks ones, makes for a much more sporty interior. Lifts it. I did it to my old 93 WRX. It also had the white-faced Lamco triple gauge set. Plus a white-faced boost gauge on the A-pillar. Loved it. :cool: |

You HAVE to remove the needles, unfortunately. :(
I got API to fit mine - so not sure how fiddly, or otherwise, it is. :confused: I'm guessing that if you use a pair of tweezers, they can be carefully extracted...? |

Thanks rich appreciate that mate, hopefully I will be fretting one of these soon, how does the delete for the vents work internally ?
I just don't switch my fans to blow in the middle :wonder: I'll have a look when I get chance to see what the crack is,if they need deleting then I'll just block em up :thumb: |
I wasn't too sure if it was cool to have hot air blowing onto the back of the gauges, I wasn't sure what the procedure was, if you did need to block them up or not cheers

I've replied to your PM AP3491.
As said, you just need a heater control panel from a JDM car... easy to swap it over, cables can be a little fiddley though. Here's a picture of the pods I made.... Attachment 28575 Attachment 28576 No need to delete the blowers, never caused me any issues... Like I said, if I get a bit of time I'll knock you one up. |
Loving the one I got off you @ @MattyB1983
I need to get it repainted or hydro dipped? Not sure what to to do with it yet? Even thought of plasti dip stuff,not Sure what that is like tho? Glad I don't have to worry about heater delete :thumb: |

For the first time on the site, i have been wronged!!
Jdm heater panel is completely electric and much easier to fit, UK works on cables to control speed, heat, position, etc Thanks for your help though guys, if you was not to know then the obvious answer is yes it will be a straight swap, Cheers Aaron |

The facelift controls (MY97-) are as you say cable operated.
http://static.opposedforces.com/epc_...1494872302.png The earlier UK cars have the three rotary controls with cables http://static.opposedforces.com/epc_...1494872301.png Whether they are interchangeable is another matter. 1997 Euro spec http://images.gtcarlot.com/pictures/22453931.jpg 1996 Euro spec http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/...pshtvfzzz3.jpg |
ahh great information, cheeers bud
think im just going to leave it as it is, i thought if it was a straight swap then id go ahead, i am not trying to out anyone by the way, im actaully really greatful for all responses, as people on here probably read, do know the answer and do not bother, so yeah thanks, Aaron |

I haven't replied to your PM regarding making you a gauge pod as been hectic lately. |

I can't seem to find where the cables would go mate https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...d97fc8c1ef.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...65ed9837a5.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...9e294806b9.jpg |
The pre facelift JDM models have two options
Manual (with cables) http://clarkdh.net23.net/NTL/pref%20manual.JPG Auto (all electric) http://clarkdh.net23.net/NTL/pref%20auto.JPG Looking at this image, it looks as if you have the auto,all electric version with the square cutout for the sensor. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...9e294806b9.jpg |
