hi everyone,
I'am looking at replacing the dash console with a complete remake out of fibreglass.any reccomendations would be great.
I also want to replace the cluster with a digital one and was wondering if any one could tell me if any of these would be compatible.

You're not going to find many (if any) clusters that are compatible without a decent amount of work. Most use a digital speedo pickup rather than cable, and newer ones run off an ECU rather than directly off the sensors. If you're building a custom dashboard then you'd be better off installing a set of Cyberdyne gauges:

thanks for the information brayden,
the toyota cresta cluster appears to be a cable connection for the speedometer. I will contact the supplier and hopefully go there on the weekend to see if is compatible.
i will also look at the website you listed as well

Even if it has a cable there's very little chance it will be a direct fit. Then you've got to make sure the sensor impedence matches for the fuel and water temp gauges, and the tacho will read incorrectly because the Cressida isn't a 3 cylinder.

I have an Acewell in the HOLK and with few mods to convert the cable with a reed switch, it works perfectly.

hi Holk thanks for the photo i have been lookin at those clusters as well but i would like something larger.
i have been toying with the idea of using a 7" touch pad with a possibility of mating it with a car pc.

They're universal fitment, so assuming you buy the matching sensors then yes they will work. I'm not sure whether the speedo uses cable or electronic pickup though.
