moobaque Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hey all, I have a S1 R33 and the tacho is farked. I'm leaning towards putting in another complete dash cluster rather than replacing the tacho only. Im tempted to import one of the nismo clusters although will prolly just end up with a second hand gtst cluster. But how do i / where do i go about getting the odometers matched? Although the current odometer reading is prolly bs in my '95 car i dont want it reading 0ks either Thanks Cam Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/145022-setting-a-new-odometer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark32gts-t Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Not sure if odometers can be re-set. although if dodgy car salesman can wind them back surely you could wind one forward if need be. Have you thought about just trying to find one with similar k's to your cluster?

Chris_R33GTSt Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 If you really wanted to, couldn't you just attach the odometer to a Makita drill and go full speed. Just dont do it in reverse Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/145022-setting-a-new-odometer/#findComment-2712844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tridentt150v Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Send it to a speedo place like Olympic Instruments in Pymble Sydney. They can check is out, clean it up, lube the little gears with the correct instrument grease, and reset the speedo to whatever you ask. Just remember you can't go back past your previous pink slip, looks a bit sus. I'd only replace the tacho - actually I'd tear the tacho out and get it repaired. Prob. only cost as much as a cluster and you get a reconditioned unit, not some dodgy s/h cluster that you still have to have serviced. Just seen your in Melb. look in the yellow pages under speedo repairs maybe.

cowie165 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Make sure you hang onto the old odometer for when (if?) you decide to sell the car. ps: lmao @ MunkybOy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/145022-setting-a-new-odometer/#findComment-2723630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
