is it possible to get the clock working on a JDM?

[cb350]

I just got a set of UK dash pod gauges from Zmanalex, straight swap, all seems to be reading ok, expect the clock. Obviously originally I didn't have a clock, it is now selectable but displays --:-- on the screen, followed by then flashing up -8:88, then repeating this process over and over. Pressing the lower button to control the pod doesn't seem to do anything.

 

I'm guessing there's a control box somewhere that works with the pod. Question is, where is it, and can I replace it with a UK item to get a functioning clock?

 

Cheers,

 

Chris.

I have that too and have concluded its for tyre pressure reading ...not available on the JDM's

ahh, I thought it was for a clock, because I know that the UK cars have a clock on the pod... at least I think they do?

 

Not a major deal, but would be cool if I could find a way to get it to do something.

Yes I agree...I think maybe the later UK ones have a clock or something..but I know when I first fitted the pods I dug around and concluded tyre pressure readings.

Hi

 

I'm pretty sure he's actually changed the pods over but the clock isn't working .

yep, that was the reason for my post - I swapped out the JDM gauges for a UK one... I'm inclined to agree with doctor austin now though, I downloaded the manual for a 2004 350z and this suggests the screen is for tyre pressures. Can anyone with an early UK model confirm this?
