98+ cluster in 92~96 sc300
I did about Four of them a while back. I cut all of the Plugs off of the 97 - 00 SC300 or SC400 and solder the wires to the 92 - 96 SC400 or SC400. There were about Three wire that had no match on the 92 - 96 SC400 or SC400 Wire harness. I made it so I could use the 97-00 Cluster or 92-96 Cluster Both could also be plugged in at the same time. I will Post a picture of the one I have later
SO you basically got the plugs from the 97+ cluster wire harness and by color matching you solder them into the 92-96 wire harness and still leaving the original plugs in did i understand you correct ??? This sounds very interesting if true
I don't get whats supossed to look better?
the extra lcd screens? everything else looks identical.
the only thing usefull from a 98+ is the gated shifter and the steering wheel IMO.

thats ur opinion but i think it looks cleaner and brighter then a pre 97 cluster i want to do this sc250tt post up pics i wanna see this
You have to see the cluster lit up in person to see the big difference between the old clusters and the new ones.
From what I've found the clusters are the same from 97+.
Since the 98+ sc400 is a 5 speed auto and the gated shifter they should have a gated looking shift indicator on the dash. But I'm not certain of that. If it does, the only downside would be it having a 5 speeds worth of indicator lights on the dash.
So then why not use a 98-99 sc300, they still have a 4 speed indicator, BUT...
You can't use a sc300 cluster with a sc400 because the tach will give false readings.
So seems like if you have a sc400, you're going to want a 97 cluster from an sc400.

I did this in my 92 sc back in may.Aliga asked me to post a thread about it but i never got around to it.I got the cluster and wiring harness for him.Only thing i wish it had was outside temp working.But i guess since my car is a 92 it didn't come with that sensor?But what would be cool is if you could hook up a sensor to get oil pressure to work where the outside temp was.
