How would you get the needle to read for a faster speedo?

I15 north of barstow
14 north of Lancaster
405S Starting from the 55.
55 S starting from the 405.
110N starting from San Pedro.
Oh yeah, all of this is illegal.... so uh... Salt Flats?
1 more thing, not that this really matter....
the S13 Speed Sensor (metal) only outputs a useable signal until maybe 120ish. After this the signal turns to garbage.
Reason why, is that the pickup is not a optical pickup, but a magnetic pickup, once it gets going to fast, its garbage.

just buy the lsauto 180mph speedo, $115 shipped and all you have to do is put it in you cluster.
when we did my dyno runs, I did a top speed run just for the fuck of it.
I have 180km/h speedo with resistor and GPS verified at 95mph.
When we did dyno runs, at 150mph it was running a little faster but withing 10%, which is acceptable.
But with 4.08 gears, you won't go much past the 150mark.
Actually getting to that speed on the roads, will create ALOT of ressistance/drag, so I hope you got the HP to support it.

One question.
Why?

cause I do a buck forty in the rain hydroplanin lamborghini diablo candy painted
One question.
Why?
Honestly. Because I had a JDM cluster and getting the resistor in isn't a big deal. Oh yeah and because sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I dont.

Ok, let me re-phrase what I meant.
Why would I go 150mph.
Sure it would be cool, but I wouldn't want to do it in my 240. It'll prolly fall apart.

People running all seasons faster than they are rated for. Have fun when they blow out.

i went 150 in an opel station wagon in germany. it was a turbo diesel. i think the roads have more to do with it than anything. if it is smooth, its not that big of a deal.

Its a cool idea, but it wouldn't prove helpful... Most people on here, including myself, don't plan on drifting at 115-150 MPH, so I don't find that useful... Maybe the ones that use their 240 for grip racing, but I haven't heard of many people going past 115 on a track, so I don't know... Unless you are selling them for $15 bucks or something and its plug and play, then you might have a few buyers... Other than that, I would have to agree with everyone, I don't think I would feel safe going past 120 in my 240, something will probably break, especially with my luck...

I got my S14 up to 148 on I-10 here in MS. That is when the MSHP clocked me and hit the lights though. At 120 I still had plenty of RPM before redline so I asked someone to help me bypass the cut-off and let me see how fast it could go. He helped me rig the speed sensor on a toggle and killed it before 120, 5 minutes later the blues hit me and I was in trouble. Yeah the Patrolman was acting all excited about the number, I was supposed to be the surprised one. Snatched me out the car, showed me I had a few scratches on my hood and a dent in my fender. All in all I think it went well :Ownedd: , I managed to dodge jail and drive my ass home that evening. Buddy of mine pulled some strings for me from the passenger seat. His dad knew people I guess and eventually we left, in a hurry. That car got a BOLO (be on look out) eventually and I let her go.:(

You're full of more shit than a fat man that ate 20lbs of freeze dried food.
Don't try to act cool, BS is easy to spot.

We all know zipties aint rated for that type of speed.
Fenders and bumpers, and who knows what else will be flying off. haha

I would say go for it. Might as well because i know a few guys who take their S13-S14's over 130mph on the weekends. Especially if you go with bigger turbo applications, its almost a must. Here is my Euro-spec one:

just swap to digital, then you should be good for 188 mph (I assume)

This was tested on a KA-T making 600rwhp. The damn digital stopped at 130mph. It will not go above that unless you do something with the ecu to trick it.
