Speedometers and Clusters... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm looking for a good guage cluster or speedo that I can put in place of the one on my '90 240sx fb 5spd. I'd ideally like at least 180 MPH on the scale (no, my car won't go that fast right now, but topping the speedo under the stock engine's potential is gay).

Also - I see lots of neat silvia clusters on ebay. They're km/h though... is it possible to make it read mph? Also, when you get those and they have the odo at a certain spot, is it possible to put your odo in? I mean, I don't want to commit odometer fraud... my car has 108k miles. Anyone know the laws? What if your odo breaks and you have to replace it?

When my speedo cluster went i just swapped in another; nobody showed up at my door or anything...

don't worry about the diff in miles.

If you swap odometers, then when you go to sell the car, tell the new owner that the mileage indicated isn't actual.  My 240SX is on its second odometer, It has 135k on it or so but it reads 81k.  The sellers provided documentation including a reciept for the work and maintenance records... so I felt secure buying it like that.

In Europe, the stock S13 200SX cluster reads to 240km/h (150mph).  They have CA18DETs, I don't know if you'll have to swap tachs or not.
