Normally if you buy a proper 240kph/300/320 speedo (not just changing the face over to the one with more numbers on it) then you don't need to calibrate it. Just plug and play.

It may be out by 5-10% depending on ur car transmission, diff ratio, gear ratios, etc.. but I personally won't be too bothered about it. I just know with my nismo 300kph one, I'm only doing 91km/h actual speed when i'm doing 100km/h according to the speedo. Can be tested on a dyno or any of the roadside speed check displays.

all you dudes out there who have over 200kph speedos, where did you get them recalibrated? can any1 recommend a place?

p.s its along time since i've posted on SDU!

:wub:

Depends what type it is.

If it is a mechanical type you are pretty much restriced to changing the drive gear for the speedo in the gearbox.

If it is electronic you can have it recalibrated any way you like.

haha wel jsut have to guess, if you dont want to spend too much money

remember 60 miles per hour = 100 kilometers per hour

ahhah it doesnt read correctly in either units :) probably because US spec is different, since its ment for USA instrument, oh well, i'll just have to hook up my HKS turbo timer to read speed.

I have the same problem with my Tomei 310 km/h speedo, reading progressively out. I didn't have the money to recalibrate it (Tisco told me it would be $250 just for them to hook up their equipment), I borrowed someone's GPS and made note of the speeds that way :)

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
