latinopikachu Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 yousee, i dont want to be stopping and starting the car for nothing, because i dont know if disconnecting the cluster and messing with it while the car is on will send a surge thru it or the ECU or whatever... with my luck it has a power spike and fries the cluster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Actually I remember one time I drove my Eunos 500 without a cluster, and I had a frigging weird problem. From memory the alternator stopped working or something and the battery died so the car wouldn't start. And it was traced back to some complex wiring by which you need the cluster in for the car to function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I wouldn't drive the car without the cluster, there must be fail-safes built in to keep people from doing it...otherwise you would just drive around and never put miles on the car even though cluster would match as original. You would have to work on it, put it back in and go. Annoying yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latinopikachu Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 yes, i just know the millenia has clever hidden booby traps to prevent it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Of course the single biggest question is....will the a/c computer work if plugged into a millenia without it from the factory? We know that the circuit boards are extremely different, with the true computer being much larger. I imagine that all the data is in the ecu, the question is does it have different wiring in order to access it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted December 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 I wouldn't pay like 1200 dollars or something crazy for it, but a few hundred perhaps.

latinopikachu Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 i wish i understood the allure of turning a millenia in to a eunos 800 by adding parts... to me it would be much more special than an actual 800, i dont kno wwhy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 it would not be as special since it wouldn't be the real deal. hotrods or something rebuilt but not restored are flat out disgusting, mixing 40 year old cars with ultra modern technology is shameful at best. You rebuild what you have, numbers matching, if it REQUIRES new paint you use an exact factory color of the time, and you modify it to be period correct. I will NEVER add HID's to a Jeep because its simply wrong, I will NEVER put huge brembo brakes on an older car. You wouldn't add an 8-track player to a brand new mercedes would you?

Apparently because of terrorists they have banned certain types of packing type....so what the hell am I suppose to use? and why does the type of type make any difference on if there is a bomb or not. Assholes, insured the package for double the value. I know going through an xray machine a tach will look like part of a bomb, they'll open it up and fuck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latinopikachu Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I got the cluster and installed it, it works marvellously on my tach body. BHR, when you did the transplant you broke the motor; they don't have as much resistance on the needle as the one you sent did, thats why it was reacting so slowly. on some of the gauges if you pull to hard you break something inside the windings the shaft sits in and its never the same again afterward. i did that with the spare 1995 tach and speedo from the 95 cluster i bought a long time ago, the shafts popped up and then the needle was really stiff. im not complaining bhr im just saying. I managed to pop off the needle on mine without any trouble and got the tach accurate within 100-150 RPM. you have to push the needle beyond its comfort zone until it just swings around and stops at the bottom, it sould be pointing right between the 00 in 1000 RPM, tats the "rest zone" then you can pull it off and transplant the face, stick the needle back on in the exact spot its "rest zone" and push it back to 0 rpm, that will fix the "shoots up to 1000 RPM" when you turn the key" problem next mod is LED backlights, i want a super bright cluster with the miller logo gleaming proudly from it spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 soooo...your saying you got it to work? Because if thats the case then I should have charged you double, and not spent months and month searching for another. So basically your the only other person in the U.S with a MCE tach, and NOW perhaps you see the difference it really makes. Also I HIGHLY recommend the LED backlighting, also make a huge difference, so much brighter, cleaner and better. I remember when we installed them at MWM05 everyone was in amazment. You'll need 1 #74 LED and a 3 5-lex matrix LED's. All in white. Should run you about 25 dollars for everything. DO IT NOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
