If anything, pull out your current speedo and hold onto it as a record of your km's and fit a BRAND NEW speedo cluster if you must.

Tampering with speedos is not cool

Why the hell would you bother clocking back an instrument cluster that you're planning to replace? Sounds pretty dodgy (and very illegal) to me mate...

Its not hard to turn it back, my dad knows how to do it. but for the sake of being illegal, no one will tell you just becasue you would be able to do it on many cars, even thought the new ones are digital and very hard to **** around with.

that's not what it says.

to the op, I'd suggest you hold onto the original - so that when you eventually sell the car - you can verify the true _original_ kms.

oops my bad

just leave it mate if someone wants it with lower KMs let them change it

more to the fact that there are other things that may go wrong with higher km's then just the engine. I also can't help but think that if i bought a car thinking it was 1/4 of what the dash said, i would either feel ripped off or it was a bad quality. (ie, the interior was bad for a 90k car but ok for a 120k car?)

just my two cents

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
