Just read this whole thread, very pimp. Quality work by both of you. I wonder if you could get the HUD from an S13 to work with it.

No problem, just would need wiring diagrams from the s13 hu. What does one look like anyway?

That s13 display unit looks wicked! I would want the whole hump it is shrouded by. I feel it would be simple, just a splice job into the wires for the digital speedo on the cluster and bam! It would read out to that unit also.

Yeah maybe the second one to use the parts of a rhd digi in a lhd application, but the purpose of my dash is to look stock, yours clearly appears highly modified. So in that respect, I will be the first to have a fully converted stock digidash in North America.
eric

Respect for your work. You suspect now how much work I have spent with my conversion of the Digi.
But you are not ready yet for a long time. It is not built-in yet.
In Europe I had the problem that I must the complete hardwire the harness cause in Germany we use other cable colours. And the Digi Dash needs other plugs. Do not forget that you need another fuel sender.

This information from one, who did the conversion of the RHD Digidash
already able to work in a LHD Supra

converted stock digidash = Word pastime

Don't be so sad that one of the guy from overseas first has made the Conversion. :biglaugh: (sorry, I could not suppress; usually you from oversea are the guys who made things like this first.

The most important thing was to take the part in for running. And integrating it sensibly. And this has happened. But I am not ready yet for a long time. You will understand it, why I did in this way my conversion.

It is nice to read with you.
Because I have already discovered something new one:

From a Nissan 240sx.
Hmm..
s13 display ??
Where can you buy this one? And then again the question about the wiring diagrams ..

I am degree to use other Nissan parts...anyway
I try just to integrate the headlights of the 300 ZX into the Supra. Here are my test headlights, which ones I bought in the NSX Prime forum in the USA some times ago:

But I still must adapt the reflectors ..

The installation shall look like this

Nice headlight mod, I hope it works for you. Btw, I have the digital speed sensor/cable, and the digital fuel level sender already thanks to Suzie aka Suprragirl ;)

That's the hardest part, keeping it looking pretty much stock. I almost hate it :p I did a tiny bit of work on it just now bwfore work, I have to do the face plates that go over the digital units and that hold the dark acrylic over them. I also have to fiberglass the signal strip into the bottom of my cover plate, the strip with the signals, seatbelt sign, etc... It's not something I look forward to as the pieces are only fitting somewhat well heh, not everything lines up perfectly but that's not a big deal.

I am missing some display module as my cluster only came with 3 sets of bar displays, however, I do have a boost display in one of those 3 there :p I know because on the clear acrylic it says boost. I do believe it is the one on the tems unit. Also, in that pic you selected, there is one missing which is just a small board with one bar display module on it so that could be it also. My other pics show this one I speak of.

Yeah, Ihad discovered I was missing the oil pressure display unit a little while ago, and it was somewhat of a dissapointment :( I would have to do some more re-wiring to get that display unit to work and i don't feel like it right now tho hehehe. Maybe at a later date i will include it but for now I'm fine without.

7mgte is +3.5 for boost and 1g is +5

as far as i know everything else on the digi is the same (instrument wise)

i've got a 1g dash here stretch that i'm willing to demolish if you want the other bits.... i thought i sent you a complete unit tho???
 
Hi Eric, I enjoy only the trump because of the conversion...

But I'm Knight Rider and it is not surprisingly ...

No-one besides me will know how much work is in your conversion.
And I see that we have similar interests

Now I must only look, where I can get such a Nissan 240 sx Headunit display..
and the wireing diagramm
