JDM Digital dash question
Hi guys, I've just imported an AE86 from Japan which has the digital dash display. Does anyone know if you can switch between it displaying KMH and MPH? The reason I ask is when you look closely at the digital display you can see the letters MPH above the illuminated KMH letters and I know on some other cars you can switch between the two.

Hi Natt. People seem to swap to the analogue guages and that requires new sensors etc, never heard of anyone converting the digital dash. PM myKKK on this forum, he is converting to analogue.

I have now pulled the display completely apart and it looks like it has been designed to display in either KMH or MPH. I just can't figure out how to make it change from one to the other. I know on a Honda S2000 you can do it by pressing a button on the dash board but the only button that does anything on this is for the fuel guage. Usually on something like this th ciruit board has jumper switches that you can change but I can't see any on it.

AFAIK you can convert it with a mechanical speedo changer, but the display will still say that its km/h. Thats what I have read on club4ag..so =/
The only way would be to do this, or do what I'm gonna do and swap it to the analog dash! Let me know if anyone wants to buy my digital dash, I will be selling it with all the sensors needed to convert it. ![]() Trueno for sale! |

No switch is present to change to MPH, though if the board is the same as an MA61 Supra then there will be a gate on the circuit to bridge.
The MA61 has two switches - one for the fuel scale and the other for the speedo units... the JDM AE86 digi unit has only the fuel scale switch. |

Kristian, perhaps when I have swapped mine, you will be interested in buying mine? Let me know if you will be interested, should be in a months time before I get things done.
Let me know. Of course you don't need to change it from km/h ![]() Trueno for sale! |

Are you taking digital dash out and putting analogue in? I think I would rather have analogue. Is it a case of just swapping them over or are the wiring looms different? |

The wiring looms are different. Make sure if you buy one from someone, that they give you the wiring loom too. Otherwise it will be a pain in the ass to fabricate one up. The wiring is also completely different but I have the wiring diagrams for this. Let me know if you need this.
Lastly and most expensive of all, you need the new sensors that would be compatible with the analog gauge. The prices I have for these so far. Oil Pressure switch - £38 Fuel Sender gauge - £66 ![]() I'll post pictures when I do the conversion. Edit: Also make sure that if you get hold of a gauge cluster that it is made for RHD!
