you are correct. unless you swap your SOHC Tach in

thats the only differences
As long as you have a DOHC, or an SR, it will work

if you have a SOHC, swap the tach form your old cluster to the new one and your good

Kouki 180 clusters are different.

*brow* even from S13?

i have a type X cluster and a normal cluster, and they swap out fine

really?

I was under the impression that the kouki 180sx was different than US for sure.

The kouki 180sx one has digital odometer and trip meter...

yeah, i had a kouki in my car, then i sold it, and put in one out of a blacktop type x (the earlier one, non kouki without all the aero jazz) and it works like a champ

uhhh how would a car that never had digital odometer function work just fine with a car that did come with it.
That does not make sense.

Whatever Omar had one and figured it out I think...
Don't care...

the cluster will work, but not the tach. You most def have a dohc tach.

but i'm talking about the tach, your tach does'nt have a 6/6.5k redline like the single cam does it? I'm using SOHC cluster with a the KM speedo and JDM tach that combo works. But the whole the SOHC tach will not work in any car with a DOHC signal.

What's the point...

1. So you can tell how fast you're going instead of using a fucking chart everywhere :cj:
2. Pegging 180kph is easy, it's only 112mph.

Edit: Assuming you're referring to Sepulchral's post... If not I have no idea what you're referring to.

Edit Number Two: Ok, I see what you mean... who the hell puts a KPH speedo (in place of a MPH one) in a car used in the US?

You got it right on your second edit.

Because I see it pointless to switch out clusters just to say it's jdm. Most people won't care. And if you get pulled over for speeding, blaming the kph cluster won't work either. I know how to read kph to mph, but I still don't see the point.

Whatever floats your boat I guess.
