Skylines have have this as do all imports due to the speed cut imposed on japanese domestic cars, they are only supposed to do 180 thus they dont need to put any more numbers on the dial!! You cant get cheap 300k speedos they are all pretty dear, id suggest unique autosports if you did seriously want one!!

I got a nizmo 320 or 340km/h speedo on mine. Came with the car and I checked out the price for one. No way I would get one myself personally. Get the Apexi RSM if you want to see yourself go over 180km/h. You get the bonus of removing the limiter.

someone offered me $90 for a set of skyline white speedo face, he said can do 320 face as well... this means your whole speedo cluster (tacho, boost, fuel, etc)

however the question is, if the electronic behind the face is a 180 speedo, what will be involved in changing it to suit 320 km/h face????

you'll need to get either an aftermarket ECU or piggyback unit which can do a speed cut, or something like an RSM. If you wait a month you can guy my HKS Speed Cut Defender which will also do the trick.

I know abt speed limiter, but my question is:

If I change my speedo face to 320 one, while the electronics behind it is standard 180 speedo, how can this be recalibrated?

Otherwise, if the needle shows speed of 320km/h, it is actually only 180km/h in real life because I only change the face plate, not the whole system... (think as if someone just stick a sticker dial 0-320km/h on top of your speedo)

    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
    • Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷
