EDIT: Although I do have 4 connectors, not 2. And I do have a PFL.

Wait, so your 2002 PFL had 4 white plugs? Were they tricky to find and why doesn't my 2001 have them :(

In any case, it may be moot as I splashed on the GT86 stereo, hopefully it will work on just two plugs I do have

Which is OEM Toyota (God knows which model) but only requires 2 connectors. It's also for sale.

The mod is purely software, doesn't involve modifying the cluster. If your stock one doesn't do this, that means the tach signal is good.

Most likely the motor or some electronic circuit in the new cluster is not working properly.

My modified 2zz cluster works fine.

Pack of 10

After moving the existing clips out of the way I cut them off with a die grinder to stop them rattling around

I don't really want to replace the hoses as the coolant is still fresh and I don't want to spend aonther £100 just for new coolant.

Hi all,

I have very kindly been sent a modified cluster which revs past 8K RPM, however the rev needle is bouncing when changing gears. My stock one doesn't do that.

Does someone with a 2ZZ want to test it out if I post it to them, to determine if the issue is with the cluster or not?



Here is a video showing what's happening:

Not much has been happening recently due to being off on 3 months parental leave, so very little opportunities to use the car.

I do, however still have an intermittent noise at idle, which I now believe is the alternator pulley.

Instead of just replacing the pulley, and as you can probably guess, I've gone through whole preventative maintenance hog and ordered a completely rebuilt Denso alternator and new gates belt (not cheap!).

Will update on the noise once fitted.
