Speedo - what's after 180Kmh

[dd4321]

Not that I am suggesting anyone has tried this on open road, but does anyone know if standard speedo will snap if the car is driven over 180? I heard with other cars if you drive beyond the speed displayed in the speedo, the cable will snap. Any opinion?

[PSI_GTSII]

Any opinion?

Yep, thats BS

Clocked many a car, from my experience they either stay fixed to the needle, Jump around madly once they hit the end, or go backwards...!..?

[NJR 34GTT]

Or some just keep going around the dial down into the odometer.

[32brother]

I have had opened up my 32 on private property and exceeded 180km on a few occasions,

and my speedo still woks just dandy. I would also suggest that is BS!

BTW what car are you referring to or just in general?

[Duncan]

yeah it keeps going just fine over 180. Don't know what happens when you hit the pin at 0 though?

[TracidTrax]

haha it wont snap, my opinion is to buy an aftermarket one that goes beyond 180

[TommO]

Normally they just to get the maxium reading the dial can go to (ie just over 180km/hr), and the speedo dial will just sit there and not move, yet your still accelerating.

Buy a cheap speed meter (Pivot make some good ones), and that way you can still tell what speed you are doing.

privaye road my ass, why dont you just say freeway, i clock my car every time is sit inside it, pft private rd

[=premo=]

mine goes to where the 190 mark would be than keeps clicking back to 180. and yeh private roads.

its not a smart thing to post how fast you go on public roads, not every SAU member wants cops to think we speed. i would rather the attention stay on holden drivers not us nice nissan people. (no offence)

maybe you look like a dumbshit for responding to someting that hasnt got anythign to do with you, and you think if we dont mention speeing here on the freeway the cops are gonna leave all skyline drivers alone, yeah heaps.

cant proove anything even if i was tell the cops i might have been doing about 260ks on the freeway to wollongong not to long ago. and plus i dont know any private roads where you could even get up to 180

Normally just keeps going to the 0 stop. No probs, no damage to anything. It's just not marked out, is all.

i didnt say anyone condones what i say, but everyone on this form has clocked their car on the freeway/motorway and who ever says they havent is just lying, and for your info i am sticking to the rules by posting facts

[MYSTR33]

doesnt the car gblow after 180?

WTH? Attention on Holden drivers, I wish!

Then again you DO live in Adelaide maybe not as bad as Melbourne......but trust me if a cop sees a holden next to a Skyline, and it was up to his discretion to pull one over, he'll go the Skyline......99 times out of 100.

Anyway back to the topic, yeah nothing will happen if you go over 180, that's just a story.
