Maybe I'm blind, but i don't see the difference between domestic SE gauges and JDM SE gauges.
If you wanna get some cool gauges, there was one guy here on the board that posted the pic. of SE gauges where the speedometer and tach. were switched around so that the RPM's were right in you face and not hidden to the side by the steering wheel.
In the meantime, good upgrade on you GXE.

I was thinking that too, but since its electrical wouldnt the reading coming to the speedo still say (just for example) 20MPH, and then the connection on the back of the speedo would take that reading and move the guage accordingly to 20 MPH, or would it move the guage to where 20 was on the old one?

no...I have done this swap on 2 GXEs I have owned. It is a direct swap and no need to adjust anything. The speed will be correct...well up to the normal range...I havent really tried it above 125.

the 89-91SE gauges are white and go to 125. Someone put 89-91SE gauges in your car before you got it. The white gauges were not even an option on the GXE so it had to be swapped.
The VE gauges (92-94SE) were white and went to 145 mph.
as mentioned earliet the 145 MPH gauges will fit in all 3rd gens without any adjustments needed. (just wanted to add that again in case some one misses my other post).

News: JDM means "Japanese Domestic Market"
Details: In Japan, they use the metric system.
What this means to you: If those were JDM gauges, they would read km/h and not mph.
edit: damn it, I got beaten to it like three times. oh well they still look pretty good.

Had to chuckle a bit when I read this thread. Owned by ebay? But $38 shipped isn't bad I guess.
I have a JDM engine. It makes 190HP, which is 30 more than the USDM one. Haha!

well Mike beat to this but u don't need to calibrate the VE SE gauges once u swap them into ur car. i did this mod about 3 yrs. ago and they read correctly so there is no need to calibrate anything on those gauges just swap them in.
