I don't think JDM clusters work in SCs.

Sorry, but you can make anything work bud. Just as long as you are willing to put the time and effort into it, plus alittle mechanics skill would be required. If you would just search around some of these forums you will find that some people do some amazing stuff to their cars. Like the old muscle car with 8 turbos, I can I think manage to get a cluster into a car, thanks for you input though.

Well I guess it's a good thing that electronics if my job and what I'm going to school for.

Hey kid.... when things are totally impratical related to price and parts it is easier to dissuade members from even venturing down that road...
There are many technically trained men on this site...
When you get a JDM dash working in your sc... we would love to see it..

I'm not questioning any of the "technically trained men" on this site. All I asked was how hard it would be to find a JDM dash, damn you guys sure do take **** off the deep end.

Yeah, things seem to get twisted up pretty easily in forums

Anyway, back to the subject at hand. Have you tried contacting TIF (Toyota Import Forums) ? There's a guy there, Steve Smith (screenname "smiffie)) who runs a shop (SSS or Smiffie's Soarer Sanctuary) that specialises in Soarers (it seems to be a cross between a repair shop and a wrecking yard (they call it a "breaking" yard). He seems like a good guy (but just don't **** him off ) He could probably find a dash for you or at least let you know where else to look.

You DO realize that the JDM dashes are all RHD right? I don't know if that matters to what you're trying to do, but it's something to keep in mind.
