I got it off Ebay for $38 shipped, wat u think? These gauges look awsome at night there like silverish black.


Heres Old

 

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.

 

JDM = +5WHP , other than that they look the same to me.

 

Yea thanks, I just got my timming belt and waterpump and seals done and got a UR Under Drive Pulley on too its awsome alot more pick up. I got a strut bar coming tomarrow have to install it. But dont think much more to do on it. Got intake,exhaust, y pipe, plugs, wires, new distrubtor, want to get it lowered and I am gettin new tires on it in fall Kumho ECSTA 711 215/55/15 for 53 a tire.

 

it's the US 92-94 SE (VE motors) gauge.

FYI...don't be pimpin around telling people it's "JDM" because it's not.

big hint that it's not JDM...they don't use MPH in Japan.

 

I thought it waz because the others go to 125 with rpm at 6 not 6500 might be wrong though srry man

 

yeah the VE pushes higher RPM and higher MPH limits.
it's ok...don't be sorry...i just don't want you to look dumb in front of others when you tell them it's JDM and it's not.

 

some how I figuered the KMH would be on the outside in Big black numbers and MPH would be on inside with Small grey number.......

I was just wondering how a set of gauges can give you and extra +5WHP?? I am kinda new so i gotta a little bit confused there. thanks.

 

He was just joking with you, sorta like when people say putting stickers on your car adds 10+ horsepower...

 

wouldn't you need to adjust something to accomidate the 145mph speedo?

 

That was my question. Because you now have 92-94 SE gauges your speed on the gauges isnt accurate anymore.

 

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.

 

my gauges are white, but they go to 125 mph. are they the 89-91 se gauges? mine's a gxe...i never did understood my gauges.

 

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).

 

ah, thought so, but thanks for clearing that up. se gauges > gxe gauges

 

 

actually it is. I did this swap on antonthegreys car over 2 years ago. It's dead on stock.



btw, here is the proper way to do the swap.


no I was not driving
dont do this
blah blah blah. it's the only picture i have.

 

that was me, and the picture was photoshopped

 

if one could pan the picture to the right, there's a lappy with a huge "DANGER TO MANIFOLD" blinky picture on it

 

I should have took the pick when I buried the speedo on mine. The camera was sitting right there in the center console. Just never dawned on me. I'll do it again on the way to the Max meet in July...

 

Resize the dam pictures!!!!

 

those pics are WAY too damn big. please fix that thanks. otherwise it looks ok. i like my black guages. your gxe just lies now.

 

no offense but if i were to change anything in the interior it would be that puke red interior stuff. man its just tough to look at......

oh and the stickers dont add 10hp........its 12

 

I remember making a list of all the sizes and their respective increase in HP. As well as how much certain body mods would increase... I should have kept that.

 

What?? You mean there are super charged stickers???? The only stickers i have are 10 HP ones, i might have to go shopping for these "12 HP stickers"!

 

dude my buddy has the hookup on JDM turbo stickers im trying to keep it hush hush but they add 14 hp to the wheels and i think they run at like 200psi.

ill let everyone know about them later, ill try for a group deal, since nobody buys anything on the org without one.

 

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.

 

news: my turbo stickers are japanese and authentic.

 

No thanks, my turbo badging is adequate at this time.

 

I have a JDM engine. It makes 190HP, which is 30 more than the USDM one. Haha!

 

Had to chuckle a bit when I read this thread. Owned by ebay? But $38 shipped isn't bad I guess.

 

late on the news there chief

 

shawn,
what's with the bubbly cf bezel man...

 

I know... I suck at teh intarweb.

 

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.

 

my name is Shawn

 

i hope you are happy with your purchase.

 

yeah and someone named Mike (Michael-awsm66) beat you to it by a couple of posts



hehehehe

not only did I beat you by a couple of posts...I actually got it in twice before you showed up.
