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

    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
    • Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
