Looks V. good.

Would look better if you get a pic of the speedo reading 140mph tho'.

not much chance of that - its broke again - 14mph is nearer the mark. it only works in first and reverse.

Plugs in order as they are connected to the cluster:

A.
White/black wire = GROUND.
Green wire = ILLUMINATION.
Black/orange wire = IGNITION 12V.
Black wire with silver dots = TACHO.

B.
Green/blue wire = SPEEDO.


C.



D.
Yellow/red = FUEL GAUGE.
Yellow/blue = LOW FUEL LIGHT.

Even better, I'll photograph the multiplugs in the morning and highlight the wires and their colours via MS Paint.

triffic - that'll save me a lot of messing around with a meter

vince have you got a diagram showing the multiplug wiring connections on the surf dash. itll save me time trying to find the fuel gauge sender, speed sensor and rev counter feed wires.

im hoping to have the time to fit the digital dash by the end of the week.

bushy and gwh - the biggest problem is the size of the ecu, theres not a lot of places to hide it in the dash. if id had more time i think id have binned all the air co unit and fan to make more space. that would just leave the heater to sort out with loads of room for the eleccy bits.

i just don't get the time here to try something like that.

after 10 hours of soldering the ecu is now in the glovebox cuddling the relays and fusebox. i now have a glovebox that holds 2 postage stamps and half a pencil but its a bit neater.

it gives easy access to the fusebox, relays and the ecu.

i thought about moving it under the seat but it would be a real pain having to take a seat every time i want to fiddle with the ecu.

Thats excellent gary.
I do have all the plugs that go into the ecu. Its a simple unplug/replug to move it anywhwere, on its 6 ft of spare cable.
i took it for a spin today. Its all ignition/damp/bad cables/poor dizzy caps...i could go on.
I need some sunny days and a bit of mojo....

Very neat.
There's guy on Lextreme that has extended all 80 odd wires of his loom just so he can fit the ECU behind the seats in his pick-up. Took him six hours apparently.

I'm going to look at creating a glovebox or cubby hole in the top part of the dash if possible.
Changed my mind about trying to get the Lexus dash to fit, it's never going to look neat however I do it.

Sorry...an excitable Fred on my lap!
I still need to put my new caps and rotor arms on as well. It's all ignition based, damp issues. After a few miles it's running fine. I do have a leak again though. It's where the heater hose goes through the bulkhead. I've got an insert for the copper pipe. I just need some time on it. Ive run it for 6 months and hardly touched it!

Make bure the kick-down rable is adjusted correctly, there's a small hubber marker on the inner cable, it needs to be just visible at the end of the outer sheath.

I can type using the back of a spoon too!!!

i tried my kickdown cable adjusted in and out - it makes a huge difference to the gearchange.

ive got about 1mm of the rubber doodaah showing now and the changes are super smooth. i changed the filter and pumped 15l of the toyota atf through it as well.
