Thabulldog Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I have the optional gauges on my Euro. Since I have a 90, my gauges are unlike any other years, thats why I can't get the speedhut gauges. If I got newer gauges, with the different type of writing, would it be a direct plug into the harness? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey River Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 The speedhut gauges are nothing more than an overlay on the gauges. You will still use the same cluster. As for the different years, as long as it's the cluster with the tach, they are interchangeable. If you had the base cluster, then rewiring would be involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rockstar Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Exacty.. And, its best to make certain you have the same guages.. Some came with a voltimeter, our 90's all came w/ temp. gauges.. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzo Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Not to hijack a thread or anything...but I'm looking into getting another lumina very soon...and there is a base model same color as my old euro with low miles that I'm thinking about getting. Thing is I hate the base model gauge cluster so if i wanted to use my euro cluster is there alot of different wiring that has to be done or is it just a few minro wires. Also has anybody on here done it with success? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey River Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 The scale is the same, the 90 model used a different font and the speedo started with 5mph instead of 10 like the rest. That is about the only difference between the two sets of gauges. As for upgrading the cluster, yes it can be done. It does require rewiring the connector and quite a few of us have done it successfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thabulldog Posted January 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Ok, the cluster I might be getting has a voltimeter rather than oil pressure. Would the hook up be any different? Would anyone happen to have diagrams? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speedz34 Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Yeah, i think all the wiring is there all you have to do is change the switch to a sender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are too new to know about the hatred this board has for Luminas. The Cutlass and GP owners like to call our cars "parts cars". Regal owners dont say much because there aren't that many of them. This is a board with mostly GP owners, Regals and Lumis are the minority. Even though there is a huge influx of new users with Luminas. By the way, Zoomina is the name of my car, hence my AOL screen-name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have three of them, and Love my Lumina as much as the other two. I must really love it, I chose to use it as my user name on here. We Lumina owners need to stick together. BTW I call my Lumina "Blackie" it is a Solid black Lumina Euro, so I took the obvious nick. Page 2 OWN3D!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supreme_style21 Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 bah.. I think you gotta own one to appreciate one. I pretty much hated them until I picked up my '92.

Lee Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 There used to be more of us Regal owners, even 4dr'rs like me. They just moved on. Usually we get picked on for our fake wood dashes and grandpa steering wheels. I like mine but then I changed the steering wheel and dash cluster. Mine now has the full digital. My tach numbers run up while the bar graph crosses over the top, very cool. I would like to get extra pieces and do a dark granite contact paper thing over the fake wood. I love the Euro 4drs and Z34 bodies. All the plain Lumina needs is nicer wheels. My custom has the same flaw. Check out my WWW site, even though it needs updated. For my Regal, the base cluster and the analog guages used the same connector wiring. I had to rewire for the Japan made full digital cluster. So I'd agree that your cluster should be a straight plug in. The voltmeter just reads the incoming juice to the cluster. It's my understanding that if you have the oil pressure sender, (variable output), your idiot light, (meant for the oil pressure switch), will dim and brighten as oil pressure changes. Brighter when low, dimmer when high. I haven't changed out my switches for senders yet so my water temp reads 0 and my oil pressure reads max. The display also has right triangle shaped red lights below the graphs that will light up if water gets hot or oil pressure drops. At that point my water temp graph will go to max and my oil graph to zero. Switches....all or nothing. I gotta get those senders. And thank goodness for the TPG guys for their ABS brake knowledge, and the GP guys for making me see that my grandpa car was really a GP in diguise. And the Cutty guys for having the cars that I want most. 2dr with the converible taillight treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggar Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Personally if I find a Regal I would buy it. Something for looks. I like the wood paneling. I had a shot at one a while back but it had problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 I think the blue interior in the Regal is nasty with the fake wood. Light grey and Tan works, and I hate to say it...because I'm so tired of red interiors...but....Red goes really well with it. Especially if you get the wheel dyed black to match the shifter, then find a black center console lid pad to go with it all. The burled Rosewood looks much nicer, (only my humble opinion) than the 88 to 90 straight grained ??? wood. More Jaguarish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypocrite!!: From the thread "I HATE MINIVANS" in the Whatever Section: Don't say that about bad luck. I'm flirting with 2 head gaskets starting to blow and a power steering whine. Damn cold weather! It's the weather thats making everyone drive like morons, not our beautiful W-Bodies having bad luck. I hope those head gaskets don't go out. I'm finally getting around to fixing my GP up with the help of Gearhead43. Poor Lumina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
