cluster compatibility questions

[pasquinel]

I have seen a thread about removing the reverse beep module on the back of the cluster in HDJ81. I am wondering if the speedo on cluster could be swapped with a spare LX450 that I have.... anyone tried this to get a mph/kph speedo on the JDM? Also, my cruise control will not set at 115kph, will switching any certain part with a US part open up the limit on cruise control? Thanks!

the beep is part of the gear indicator light portion I thought. also does you HDJ have a cable driven speedo? mine does, and LX's are electrically driven. I have 3 clusters at home and all are very different even though they are all from 80's

Thanks for reply. I will let you know what I find behind my HDJ cluster, have not found time to get in there

Not sure if it helps, but I installed the tacho from a 1996 HDJ80 into my 1996 FZJ80 cluster with zero issues as part of my motor and transmission swap. Just needed to be sure to swap a few wires to feed it the signal from the injection pump tacho sensor. Having the EWD for the LX and the HDJ would be necessary to be sure that the right signal is going to the right place for the speedo too, assuming both rigs had the electronic speed sensor.
