JDM Soarer Digital Cluster In SC **Special Case** (already searched)
hello,
in case some of you forgot or for those who do not know, i have a CANADIAN 1992 sc400. i was wondering if the digital clusters would be plug and play since i am already in km/h. i would really like to have the digital cluster, and if anyone has taken one apart, can the bulbs be converted to maybe white leds? thanks for all your time.

Alex, there is a guy on soarercentral.com here in Australia who is working on doing the reverse - fitting an analog speedo etc to a Soarer (which has digital, and in km/hour not mph). His name is Mark (mark.paddick@bigpond.com). He may have some pointers, but comments I've seen indicate that it is a really difficult job. Who knows, he may be keen on a swap?
The cluster can be changed for a different colour, I had mine done a year or 2 ago. It's a matter of changing filters and the fluoro tube at the bottom of the screen...

well from what ive been reading on all these other threads about the digital cluster swap, ive learned that it is difficult to swap in the digital cluster since the cluster changes from mph to km/h. people claim you have to change wiring and sensors and all that good stuff, but my question is since my car is canadian and is already in km/h, wouldnt it be an easy swap?
thanks
alex
thanks

Alex, I believe the issue is much larger than simply converting from kph to mph. I believe I read that the wiring harnesses between the vehicles are completely different, and therein lies the problem. The fact that you have a "Canadian" SC makes no difference. Your "Canadian" version is no different than my "American" version. However, both of our cars have large differences in wiring and such from a JDM Soarer.
Read through this thread.

In order to make this work, a Soarer ECU and wiring harness is the first order of business. If you have done a 1JZ swap....easy. If not....not so easy.

Why is that? The JZZ31 Soarer in Japan is running the 2JZ-GE, so if you have a 300 you could try to source that ECU, and the UZZ30 Soarer in Japan is the same as a SC400 here in the states, so you could try to source that ECU... You dont have to have a 1JZ to have a Soarer, lol.

But, I was just trying to convey that he would need the Soarer ECU as opposed to some mod converting kph & mph.

Soarer gauge cluster in sc400 with 1jzgte swap.
Just to let you guys know, I did it all by myself, installed digital instrument cluster from RHD Toyota Sorarer into my Lexus Sc400, required complete rewire to work in LHD vehicle, never been done in lhd vehicle to my knowledge, not as hard as people make it seem, just requires a lot of patience and a lot of wires need to be extended. Will post pictures soon.
