Theres a place just off the Maroondah Highway near the corner of Heatherdale road called Ringwood speedo (iirc) that does this work. Search for guages in the Yellow pages.
Or "Speedometers". There's one in Mulgrave, IIRC. They stick a "black box" converter on the cable, costs around $175.

oooh, i know about this topic, madness :O

well depends WHY your speedo is out guys, and how much ...

im unsure about how the elecrtical speedo in skylines work, but usually you either replace the gear inside the gearbox that sends the signal to one with fewer or more teeth, to get it correct.

try, automotive instrument repairs in mulgrave, just off springvale road near the 5 way junction.

I've had an old car of mine calibrated there, friendly bunch of people... There is also another mob, but they are up in the northern subs

Yeah I believe there is a trip pot adjuster inside the dash for the electrical adjustment. I think my problem is that I have a R33 gearbox though. I wonder if it can be adjusted in the dash instead of the drive gear in the box???

i doubt aps can do it in frankston. especially on a r32 as they are analogue not digital. the only way to fix it on a 32 is by changing the cogs... mine is out because of the r33 box conversion.. i need a 21tooth cog in my gear box for it to be right. i have tried so many places but they all have no idea.. i will try that place in mulgrave...

Keep us updated because I have the 33 box too and would like to know what cog is needed and where to get it from. thanks...

Hey all,

I heard this and it might be worth discussing.

There'a a Jaycar didgital pulse adjuster, which might be ble to do this. (I think it was this, it's in the 'performace electronics for cars' book)

A tuner was going to have a go and do it.

I don't know how he went, and if it cost only $175 to do it, p;robably better at the end of the day as the thing cost about 80, plus you need to build it (it's in kit form) and you need the hand controller for it as well. Then you need to tune it, which is dyno time.

Now that I've written this, I've no idea why he is going to bother...

      Thoughts on this .. G35-1050 pulsar result

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
