ODO and trip counter have stopped counting!

My pulsar dash did this a few years ago, and that was definatly not rolled back. Was a dodgy solder on the circuit board. I took it to a auto electrician who sent it to he same place dino's was sent to. It was fixed up for about 100 bucks.

Was working on the car this weekend and cant believe i didnt spot this before I bought my car. Its a sticker on the top of the engine. Im assuming it details the date and mileage of when the cam belt was last changed.

It was half torn off but its still legible. It is in Japanese but the numbers read:

13 7 11

97442

I cant explain the 13,7,11 bit but the 97442 sure does seem to suggest my car has done well over the 72000 kms on the clock.

Any suggestions what the other numbers mean?

Those numbers are the date, the Japanese have a different counter for years to us which is why it doesn't resemble a date really!! I think its 11 July but I could be wrong.

My b/f bought his 32 GTR with 56,000 on the clock but there was a sticker on the battery saying it had been replaced at 99,000kms. Its inevitable, they've all been wound back!!

My odometer stopped at 59,999kms a few months ago. My b/f pulled it out, fiddled around with it and its worked ever since...no idea!!

Dave this is how i knew:

Bought my car in private sale in Perth August 02 with 75,000Kms on clock

3 months later it was going in to have its timing belts changed so i decided that while i was bored in peak hour traffic i would pull off the old Castrol service sticker which looked like it was blank.

After i pulled it off i shined it in the light and u could see an imprint of what it used to say - next service Aug 02 or at 104,000Kms. Why someone wind them back in perth i dont know - maybe it was orignally bought from some dodgy import dealer in perth because theres rumours that some do that.

Anyway i have a bit of an accurate knowledge now of what the cars actually done.
