Speedo Adjuster

[Duncan]

Has anyone ever used an electronic speedo adjuster like this to correct speedo reading?

My stag is reading about 15% over actual speed which is dangerous for my license.

Pretty expensive for a speed adjuster mate..

fair enough....where can I find something cheaper?

Good article that one! lol

Duncan I've linked them all together, but one of the links will point you to: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/111435-speedo-c...ed-r33-gtr.html . The original uses a jaycar adjuster.

Also feel free to try the other method

excellent, thanks for the detail.

Do you have any way to see the ECU speed after you modified the dash, eg PFC? I have a digital dash that runs of the ECU, so it's not really the dash I want to modify (unless of course the gearbox signal goes to the dash then the ECU, that is how the mechanical r32 one works but I kind of assumed the electric ones go to the ECU then the speedo

Electric one goes straight to speedo. Checked wiring diagrams.

A speed sensor wire goes from speedo to ecu for things such as speed cut, and idle up a little (100-200RPM) when not at a stop etc.

One of the threads I was reading, either the UK article or the SkylinesDownunder (all linked off the articles I have) was using some kind of device to test it on a bench, but I believe that was just testing what the speedo would show...

Yes, I did compare to the PowerFC hand controller, the PowerFC was closer afterwards, but this modification I mentioned was for changing the dash. Sorry

thanks sean

and yeah that's what I figured....I need it to correct the PFC and more importantly the super-rice nismo dash/epson EJ1.

I bought and have built the kit, will try and fit it this week.

And I fitted it tonight...worked exactly right once I found the right wire for the speedo (thanks Sean for the lead). Link LK5 for nissans.
