Good Afternoon all, 

 

I recently purchased an ER34 from Japan and all is swell so far. 

However, I got sent these high-res photos of the interior and I noticed a discrepancy. The cluster is for that of an Auto, however, obviously, the car is manual.

This led my mind to think that the Speedo has been wound back. 

 

Despite this though, as seen in the other photos, the condition of the car is exceptional.

What are your thoughts as it is quite a confusing situation.

EDIT: Just got word back from the broker. He just got told it was a manual conversion with the OG K's still on it so all is well hopefully. Is there any common issues that could arise from it being swapped that I should know about?

Yeah, so maybe** it clock has been wound back.

** Ahhahahaa. As if it hasn't been wound back!

Or maybe it's had a manual conversion. Or one of a few other possible things.

Ultimately, none of these things really matter, if the car is not broken,

Thanks for the response mate. Check out the edit :)

No issue with a manual swap done well...and too late to change now but I'd look get pics of the clutch pedal mounting, where the centre console meets the dash, and of course the actual gearbox may have very different klm to the rest of the car

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By The Bogan 路 Posted

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
