    Clock Conversion : Starlet n/a to Starlet SR cluster.

    Posted · Edited by vizzioarts

    mate that bought my ep91 that i did the clock conversion to still cant get fuel gauge to work everything else works except the fuel gauge anyone able to help

    Your best bet is to find out what pins connected to your original fuel gauge by tracing the circuit board on your original cluster. It's exactly how i did this only for every pin rather than just fuel.

    You could check voltages on the pins too. But probably difficult due to fuel being hard to change the voltage quickly.

    Amazing, cant thank you enough.

    Worth a note though just how bloody annoyingly hard the removal and refit of the speedo cable is though. I found once all the screws were out i gently but assertively pulled the clocks straight towards me and the cable detached. To re-attach the cable i put all the screws and cables back into the unit and then removed the piece of plastic/dash from under the steering wheel, there's a piece of air vent/ducting that can be removed and you can gain access to the rear on the clocks enough to push the speedo cable/clip back quite easily and nicely, there are however many pieces of hand shreddingly sharp metal behind there so exercise caution. Hope this helps someone else. And breath.............

    Next time unscrew the speedo cable from the gearbox side. Then pull it through some when pulling out the clocks. Much easier haha

    So its been a LONG time since I've actually done any work on this.



    Caught a TTE spoiler for sale on here and decided to pick it up. Only to shoot myself in the foot realising the standard one is riveted on, but made do anyhow.

    Driver's door sill was driving me nuts all scuffed and rusted, so decided to do some amateur painting and fix it up.

    Street Tuning Evolution : Car Enthusiasts Dream Game

    in Games, Tech & Gadgets

    How many of you have seen this?



    Its a sequel to "Street Legal Racing Redline" which was a PC game back in 2003. Its a sandbox car tuning game, with endless possibilities. Now, the developers are making "Street Tuning Evolution". It looks unreal. From what they're promising, it will be something similar to a Forza/GT game, but with unlimited customisation.



    I for one, am super excited about it. Its giving the player what Forza etc never delivered, which is actual 110% customisation.



    Now obviously, it still has a long way to go before release, and could be filled with empty promises. But its exciting to see someone stepping up and developing a game which I'm sure we've all dreamed of haha.



    Heres some more info:

    Left school to go to uni and study computer science. Still here and half way thought with a nice placement lined up For next year. I really don't know if i want to spend my career programming in an office. Something more interesting might be to work for a car manufacturer, as they're relying more and more on computer experts and programmers now days.

    It's hard to know what to do haha

    Love that this is back on track. Some awesome parts showing up too.

    About the colours. I'd say go for what you've planned. only thing i would say is watch you don't go too overboard on the blue / dark scheme. But if the rocker is going polished with the titanium trumpets? (is that still happening?) With your obx mani, it should break it up a good bit and look ace.

    Just looked and my wires are totally different to yours! :(

    In that case. Look at the circuit on the back of the clocks. trace each pin to where they send power to the components on your clocks. Then do the same for the pins on the new sr clocks. Work out your differences and find which wires need to be swapped.

    Hope that makes sense. In my case the signal for the rev gauge was already in the correct module.

    if you cant find it, i can only assume all the ecu does is send a variable voltage to that pin, so use a multimeter on every pin and find which one changes voltage with revs.

    It puzzles me how many different variations of loom was made for these starlets, doesn't make much sense as to why haha.
