Gage Cluster
I am in the process of looking to buy a ZR1 in a year or so and have of course been searching for the ZR1 I would want to own . 1990 would be my first choice . I have noticed that some of the gage cluster in some 1990 ZR1's are different . Some 1990's have the oil pressure max at 80 and others say 550 . Does anyone know why they differ ?

Re: Gage Cluster
Welcome onto the boards there!
Can't tell you why the differences there, but maybe someone else can here, although 550 sounds like an export car, with metric measurements... Conversion chart shows 80 PSI = 551580.5832 Pascal (decimal difference x 1,000)

Duh !!! . Some Canadian I am . I am not a fan of metric lol . Silly me. In looking at pictures of cars forsale , they do not always have a good pic of the gage cluster . They usually only show the milage so I could really only see the oil pressure gage . Makes complete sense to me now . Thanks for straightening me out on that one . |

Re: Gage Cluster
Just for info. You don't need to get a car with DRL. ZR-1s are now too old for that requirement. My 91 is a U.S. spec car, no DRL and it was no problem when I imported it.
Welcome to the forum. Dave

Re: Gage Cluster
Correct - importing a US spec car more than 15 years old is no problem. You will need to get a safety check (at least in BC) before you can register the car - but you bypass the whole RIV headache.
Lots of great deals to be had on ZR-1's these days.

Trap times? In Metric??? 1/4 mile? My Z does NOT have Newton-Meters, Joules (it IS my 'jewel'  ) , or any of that nonsense. It has HORSEpower. Maybe others might not agree tho', so I gotta' make sure to not offend anyone...But the US Fed is bound and determined to relinquish American ways (AND OUR sovereignty) to 'worldly' ways, i. e., spanglish, ebonics, metrics, ...   uh-OHes - still thinkin' here (see the smoke?) - I'm such a hypocrite - I have 315's in the back!!!

Re: Gage Cluster
You need the safety in Ontario also. You also pay import duties etc. as well if you buy in the US. That said prices "South of the border" are often low enough to make it worth that. Vette prices in Canada seem much higher. Depends on the car and what you're looking for obviously.

Re: Gage Cluster
I prefer DRL on a vehicle anyway but to let you guys know , I have noticed a lot of the new cars up here do not have running lights anymore which has really surprised me . I run with full light's on all of the time as I feel it is safer . I ride a vintage Motorcycle also which I rebuilt in 2004/2005 and I have it on High Beam during the day
